OK first open a new Document...I will open one 300x150pxls with background black.. for see more cool the effect
Then use your Text tool...and type a text..this can be whatever you want:

Then in the new layer.. go to: Edit > Stroke...and choose this settings:


Now make a new layer again..and take your Gradient tool with this settings:

Now tween with this settings:

Thats all now you have your animated text:

i got it eventually, i think if your using Photoshop CS2 you need to press Ctrl+Alt+G thats why i was getting confused cheers kasy ;)

lol... you can use too Alt+Click <--between the two layers

thanks kasy ;)

sorry, but somehow i couldnt find the 'tween' button!?!

if your on the animation window, should be bottom right. its the button with about 3 circles diagonally

Thanks alot, I have figured out.

Great tutorial btw!! :hyper: **Support**
