Photoshop Quick Tips #2 - Neon Effect with Animation
December 23, 2008
Back in July I wrote a tutorial showing how to create the effect I use on Abduzeedo's logo, a very subtle light effect, sort of neon style. The tutorial is the Shining Neon Text Effect in Adobe Photoshop if you want to check it out. Also I decided to mix it a bit with the animation features that we have now in Photoshop.
Even though the effect was simple a lot of people complained that got stuck on some steps or their result was not the same, because of that, I decided to do a video showing how to create the same effect.

I prefere a text-explanation. The video goes way too fast for me to follow the tutorial.
But the result is astonishing!

Hm, waiting when you will share your font with us :)
Not only is it way too fast, I can't test what the exact effects are that are being applied. Granted I'm quite familiar with the Photoshop interface, but the resolution is just so small, nothing can be read.. I have nothing against video tutorials, perhaps a voice-over next time.. or even just including sound?
The best way to watch the tutorial is via VIMEO you can watch it in HD and full screen. The quality is really good then. The effect is really simple to do.

Thanks for the comments ;)
Without voice isn't impossible to follow, moreover the pictures are too small....I can't see the sequences...
Ah... I see. I'm not used to Vimeo, though I know it's gaining in popularity (and as I just witnessed, for very good reasons). I guess I'm just used to the old YouTube style.. where the video doesn't get any larger. The embedded size is the size of the video. (To enlarge the video makes it all grainy and pixely.) And so, I thought such was the case here.
Thank you for pointing this out :p
thanks for the helpful tips. The neon effect looks really great. I will think up a project where I can use that. Thank you.
Is visible quite clearly in HD. Thanks.
Though I suppose a voice-over would really be nice.
Fabio, i'm from Brazil too... my english is very poor..
What is this font?
Ps: Your Blog is awesome!! Your works are unbelievables! Congratulations!
nice job
Nice tut although you could maybe add some text and go a bit slower since you're not talking it's a bit too fast to follow.
Anyway, I wanted to know how you can use this "animated graphic" for instance on the web?
Do you save it as a gif or something?
Cheers
Nice tutorial dude! I really appreciate it.

There is my entry.... I discover that the effect is better if you get a tiny font... I customized a big one and the effect is not really the same... but what ever, I appreciated this tutorial.

click on "animated glow affect tutorial" the owners site is not working but his video works from that page. enjoy
I think you can use flash to make it, it will be more easier. Have a try~
Very nice effect, but i didn't know how you did the "gradient" layer, you only started a vide just like that, i want to know how you did the beginning.
abduzeedo rules!
What´s the Software you use to make this tutorial??? PC or MAC? I need it... Thanks! Excellent Tutorial!
i dont get Step 7 how do i group the single layer
Nice tut! Just have one problem, I dont have timeline when I press animation for the last part.. Insted I have keyframes :/
Anyone knows how to get timeline insted of keyframes? thnx!
Some people do think that writing the classification essay seems to be not very hard, but I state that the only professional writing services uk will accomplish the custom research papers of top quality.
Can we have a tutorial on naming things?
Your hard drive appears to full of .psd files called sample and movies called mov.mov!
