From program Photoshop in LiveMotion

The multilayer file created in program Photoshop, can be used as a basis for animation creation in program LiveMotion, the web application of the company of adobe. It is possible to use palette Layers (Layers) in program Photoshop as the scenario to create sequence of images. Hide or show separate elements of layers beforehand to view the image. Move layers in a window of images by means of tool Move (Relocation) beforehand to view animation, and then open a file in program LiveMotion.

One of discovery methods in program LiveMotion of the multilayer file created in Photoshop, is usage of command Place to (Allocate). There is one more variant - to drag a layer from program Photoshop in a composition of program LiveMotion.

At layout of the multilayer Photoshop-file (fig. 23.9) in program Live-Motion it will be transformed to one-layer object. However after layout it is possible to use command Object> Convert Layers Into (Object> to Transform layers) to transform layers or to separate objects (fig. 23.10), allocated on separate layers, or in sequence of frames on one layer. Any of the objects received as a result of such conversion can select by means of editor Timeline (Time scale) in program LiveMotion and to improve. Such objects the same as also any other objects of program LiveMotion, can be included in animation.

At editing of objects by means of command Edit Original (source object Editing) any object moved from program Photoshop in LiveMotion, it is possible to move programs LiveMotion reversely and to correct in program Photoshop (actually you will work with a source file copy). When the edited copy of a file will be saved in program Photoshop, respective alterations will be automatically produced and in LiveMotion. It means that you can quickly edit animation in program Live-Motion, using all tooling Photoshop.

The layers of the Photoshop-image transformed to separate objects LiveMotion, save a sequence in which they have been allocated in program Photoshop (fig. 23.11-23.13). The Lowermost layer will be now in the lower part of list Timeline (Time scale) in program LiveMotion. So think in advance of in what order to allocate layers before to move them from program Photoshop in Live-Motion.
