This tutorial was written by Ashley Zimmerman on 5/21/2020
Any resemblance to any other tutorial is coincidental.
Supplies I used:
 PSP – I used 2020 but any version will do
Jasc Animation Shop
Animation 1268 from Package 422
Animation 1409 from Package 469
Both from Rebel Dezigns
The animations are PTU
We will be going back and forth between Animation Shop (AS)
and PSP

If you did the first half of the tutorial and came to this then
your tag should still be open in PSP !

Let's get started !!

Open Animation Shop
Open animation 1268 & 1409
Minimize animation 1409 as we will use this animation second

We are going to resize animation 1268


When you have resized now
Edit > Select All or CTRL A

Back to PSP 

Layers > View > None
Now select your Note Tube and
every layer beneath it
Click the visibility toggle
(the little box on the left)
Now all these layers will be on your canvas  


Now activate only your White background layer
It should be the only one highlighted blue
Edit > Copy Special > Copy Merged

Back to AS

Edit > Paste as new animation
Press CTRL L until you have 25 frames like our animation
If you look in the bottom right hand corner it will tell you how many frames you have 

Edit > Select All
Edit > Propagate Paste

Now go back to animation 1268
Edit > Copy

Now on your tag
Edit > Paste Into Selected Frame
Place where you would like
I placed mine to the left on top of my Note Tube
*Note* You can click View > Animation to see if you like
where it is placed 
If not just click the undo button
and try again !

Back to PSP

Now we want to hide all the layers that are currently showing
Layers > View > None
Now select every layer above your Note Tube
CTRL and select each layer
then click the visibility toggle box
and they will all appear on your canvas 


go to the very last one it should be element 5 and
make sure this is your only active layer
So it should be the only one highlighted blue
Edit > Copy Special > Copy Merged

Back to AS

Edit > Paste into selected frame
Place where you want it to go

Now maximize animation 1409
Edit > Select All
Edit > Copy

Go to your tag and
Edit > Paste into selected frame
and place where you would like

Back to PSP

Layers > View > None
And now select element 19 & above
This will include your copyright and also
if you are only doing one name on your tag and
not for multiples then
have your name on the tag also
I am making for multiple so I do not have a name
on my tag yet



Activate element 19 it should be the only one
highlighted blue
Edit > Copy Special > Copy Merged

Back to AS

Edit > Paste into selected frame
and place where it goes

Now I am done animating my tag
If you are only doing one name on your tag then it should already be
on there with the last copy merged we did
and you can now simply save as a gif

If you are wanting the tag to be for multiple people then
we are going to save as a Animation Shop Animation (*.mng)


Now close your saved (*.mng) tag

Now the reason we are saving as a (*.mng) is because
I want to make my tag for multiple people

I am making my tag for 3 People which equals 3 names
So I am going to open my saved (*.mng) tag 3 times
On each one press CTRL A it will select all 25 frames
which we need


Back to PSP

Layers > View > None
select your text tool
and write out the first name
Covert to Raster Layer
and add any effects you would like
I used Eye Candy 4000 Gradient Glow and added a DS
of   V: 3, H:2, Opacity: 60, Blur: 3 (Color Black)

Now select your text tool again and write out the next name
Convert to Raster Layer
add effects and repeat for as many names as you have

When you have all your names finished
Layers > View > None
Now activate the first name you are going to use
Edit > Copy Special > Copy Merged

Back to AS

Edit > Paste into selected frame
place where you would like

When it is placed where you would like
File > Save as (*.gif)
It is the first one from the dropdown menu when the
dialog box opens
I use all the custom settings when I save
Click Next , Click Next, Click Next then Click Finish
Now close

*Note* when you close that tag you will still have your tags underneath it
that we opened for each name we made !

Now repeat those steps for each name !
When you go back to PSP
Just hide the name you just used
and make the next name active and visible then
Edit > Copy Special > Copy Merged

Also when you save each tag in AS
MAKE SURE you save each one as a (*.gif)

*Note* another cool thing is when you are done making all your tags
in AS you can go back to PSP
Layers > View > All
Hide the names
Hide the white background layer
Change your credits so it doesnt
have the animation credit on it
Then save as a PNG 
**Keep your tag opened**

Now you can
activate each name one at a time
(because we already have them all on the canvas!)
place the name where you would like
and save it as a PNG for said person
Then you would just hide that name
and go onto the next and repeat !

I hope you enjoyed my tutorial !
