Animated Divider

 

Open a new image 500 X 75 Transparent

Fill your image with any color or gradient that you like. Apply any Inner Bevel effect. I used the round preset.

Make a new layer. Fill with another color or gradient, apply the same inner Bevel setting.

In your layers palette, duplicate your layer one. Send the copy of Layer 1 to the top.

Save your image in PSP format.

Open Animation shop.

Click File > Preferences > General Program Preferences.

Click on the Layered Files tab. Adjust your settings to the settings shown below and click OK.

Click File > Open. Open your image.

Click on the first frame to select it. Click Effects > Insert Image Transition.

Select the WIPE transition with the settings shown below.

Click OK.

You will notice that the frames up to and including frame 11 are selected. Click on frame 12 to be sure that ONLY frame 12 is selected. Apply the same image transition effect.

Now your animation will have frames 12 thru 22 selected. leave them selected.

Click Animation > Reverse frames.

Press SHIFT + S to bring up your resize window.

Resize the length of your animation to 25. You must Uncheck Maintain Aspect Ratio.

That's it. Save your image.
