ERASE NAME ANIMATION HOW TO:
the first step in this animation is to create a 600 by 150 pixels animation and type in your name in any color of font you would like. center your name and fit it to the frame. next you will take the crop tool and trim off the extra blank space on the sides of your name.
next you will rasterize your layers then take the erase tool and erase your name little by little BACKWARDS from the way you normally write my name. for example in m my picture i started from the last letter of my name and the last part i normally write, when i actually write my name. after you create a layer of gradual erasing keep copying that layer and then erase then copy then erase. its very continuous, but pretty easy! also when you copy the layer don't forget to click the little eyeball button before you erase the next layer so you can actually see what you are erasing.
next just keep repeating those steps until your name is fully erased. then go down and click create a frame animation.
next click on all of the ye buttons on the sides of the frames so you can see all of the layers.
select all of your frames and reverse them, and then you've finished your animation!
look back at the top of this post and if you've don't it correct then it should look at mine at the top!
happy animating:)
