In this Three Minutes Max video, Khara Plicanic shows off a really quick way to make animated flashing lights in Photoshop. By duplicating layers and making slight adjustments to each, she turns each layer into a frame, creating the animation that can be exported to a video format.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
