Hello everyone! Today we are transforming our previous design into an engaging animation. We'll use our "Graffiti Text Effect" design as a starting point. The steps below outline how to add an animation to present this design to your audience.

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Set Up the Workspace

   • Click on the thumbnail view and the duration button.
   • Duplicate the initial page twice.

2. Prepare Each Page

   • For Page 1: Remove all elements except the wall.
   • For Page 2: Remove all display elements.

3. Add New Elements

   • Introduce a spray painting element.
   • Remove its background and reduce its size.
   • Rotate slightly and change its color to yellow.
   • Go to “Edit”, then “Hue” and change it to a master color.
   • If the color isn't available, customize the highlight and shadow to yellow.
   • Increase the spray effect size to make it more prominent.
   • Group the hand and spray elements together.

4. Animate the Text

   • Place the text and crop it to reveal gradually.
   • Duplicate Page 2:
     • For Page 3: Select the text and crop it slightly more, moving the hand and spray accordingly.
     • Repeat for subsequent pages, gradually uncropping the text and repositioning the spray until fully revealed.
   • For the last page (Page 9):
     • Remove all extra elements.
     • Go back to Page 8, copy the grouped hand and spray, and paste it onto Page 9.
     • Change the spray color to blue, ungroup the elements, flip the hand horizontally, rotate the spray, and group again.

5. Continue Animation

   • Duplicate Page 9 to Page 10.
   • For Page 10:
     • Remove the blue spray and paste the handspray group from Page 8.
     • Change the spray color to red and adjust using “Dual Tone”.
     • Use the cherry color for highlights and shadows.

6. Add Transitions

   • Between Pages: Add ‘Match and Move’ transition, but make sure to select ‘No Transition’ between certain key frames to maintain animation fluidity.

7. Completion

   • Press the “Create Animation” button and adjust elements by aligning them properly.
