Hello,

Can someone tell me how are these people making their animated backgrounds? Are they using a special program? Or are they making a picture (or several pictures) and rotating them in for example Photoshop and using Image Ready? Or are these visualizations that they have made using a special program and then copied for use.

They seem so smooth, I would like to make my own for videos backgrounds for iClone if possible but I'm not sure exactly how to go about it. 

I understand how to make blurry pictures using different brushes and layers. I want to know how they are animating them, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks Dolores (this is not an an affiliate link)

Hi,

You can make video backgrounds much like those in your examples with iClone itself. Combining Particle Effects like expand, shrink, bubble etc you can make an excellent abstract video background that you can render for later use in a video editor.

When it comes to using Photoshop to create animated backgrounds check out the tutorial below for a simple introduction to the procedures.

Thank you,

I asked in 3 forums and Yahoo answers and couldn't get response or a real answer, I really appreciate it. Although my test background wasn't nearly as classy as the tutorial it's a step in the right direction. I'll look into my iClone program (never thought about that) and try to make them there as well. Again thanks :D

Sincerely,

Dolores
