Hello everyone.
Today I'm going to show you how to animate a photo of a waterfall and create a short GIF animation. Since Gif animations loop indefinitely, you will see a jump between loops. This is normal and cannot be avoided.
This is also a simple animation (there are no fading or other effects added here).
I hope this little demo will inspire you to give it a try. It's fun and easy.
Made especially for beginners!!!
