Marketers, are you looking for an easy way
to make animations to engage your audience?
It’s no secret that GIFs, videos, and other
animations are effective in garnering attention,
but it’s going to take ya quite a bit of
technical know-how and design savvy to master the art.
At least, it does with the other tools.
If ZERO tech knowledge or design skills sounds
like music to your ears, then you better stick
around for today’s product showcase.
How’s it going, Sumo-lings?
It’s Chris here with AppSumo, and I can’t
wait to tell you about PixTeller, a tool that
helps you create super engaging, professional
graphic images and short animated videos.
With top-notch templates and more than a MILLION
photos and illustrations, you’re minutes
away from creating exactly what 
you’ve been dreaming of.
But before I show you how to do that, do me a 
favor and make sure you’re subscribed to
the AppSumo YouTube channel and give 
this video a thumbs up.
Alright, first stop: animation station!
You won’t believe how easy it is to get started.
Simply click the Use Image button to copy the
pre-made design that you can use to customize
a new visual asset.
Here’s the editor in default design mode.
You can see which elements create the image,
as well as reorder and hide the various layers.
Go ahead, switch out the background, change
up the text, and swap out the shape in the middle.
And now the magic happens!
In the top right, you’ll click the Switch
to Animation Mode, and your screen will instantly
morph into a new design editor.
The most important addition here is the timeline,
where you can set the total video length and
how long an animation for each element lasts.
The default animation time per image is 2
seconds, but that can easily be changed by
dragging these bars.
For any instance, you can change up the related
element properties and filters.
Functions like rotate, opacity, and alignment
are easily accessible to animate a simple design.
Let me show you how to animate the background.
It’s as easy as selecting points on the
timeline, and then selecting a different color
for each one.
Now, let’s say halfway through the animation
sequence, I want the background image to blur.
You can do it in seconds!
Then, hit the play button for a relatively
low-quality version of the animation.
Keep tinkering, and once you’re happy with
your design, you’ll want to save the animation
in order to download it.
Hit Save to save the animation source code
without rendering.
This is ideal when your work is in progress
and you want to be careful not to lose it.
The second option is the Render and Save button
that’ll upload the animation, including
the source code, onto the PixTeller servers.
Here, you can go back to editing or click
preview, where you can download your finished
product as an MP4 or GIF.
And check out how cool the animation is!
Anyone who wants to quickly create their own
animations and GIFs can now do it, thanks
to this simple yet powerful tool.
