Creating Animations
You can either have PhotoPlus create a sequence of new frames for the effect

then generate the effect with the Create as new frames option unchecked. This
will integrate the new layers into the existing blank frames, beginning with the

To use text or shapes with animation effects, first merge the text or
shape layer into a standard layer, or convert it to a standard layer by
right-clicking on the layer name and choosing Rasterize from the
flyout menu.
To apply a special effect:
1. Select the frame, and the specific layer on the frame, you want to use as
the starting point (we'll just call this the "Start frame").
2. Click the
Effects button on the Animation tab to display the
Animation Effects dialog. The dialog provides two preview windows
(for the Start and End frames) that initially display the contents of the
selected layer.
3. Click an effect name in the Effects list. The dialog changes to provide
custom controls for each effect (try clicking on different effects for a
preview).
4. Click the left-hand (Start Preview) window to set properties for the
starting frame (note the red border when selected), adjust the controls
or enter values, then click the right-hand (End Preview) window and
choose settings for the final frame, as the preview windows update.

5. To set the length of the sequence, enter a value in the Number of
Frames box. The process will create a series of new "shown" layers,
with one new layer per frame. In other words, a six-frame sequence
always adds six new layers to the image.

6. Check Create as new frames if you want to put the sequence into a
series of new frames, beginning immediately after the designated Start
frame. If you uncheck this option, the new layers will be integrated
into existing frames (which should be blank if you want to see the
results!), beginning with the Start frame.
