Step 2
In order to create the simplest animation, you will need a photo editor that supports this feature. The most famous among its counterparts is Photoshop.
Step 3

Step 4
As an experiment, cut out several frames from one picture using Photoshop's tools. The latest versions of the editor include the ImageReady utility, which is designed to work with.
Step 5
Having prepared the material, open all your pictures in the working program and create a new canvas. Layer the images on top of each other in this new document. To do this, using the Selection tool, cut out the desired area in each document and copy it onto a new canvas.
Step 6
Click on the Edit in ImageReady button at the bottom of the toolbar. Your completed work is losslessly imported into the utility. In the menu item "Window" (Window) select the function "Animation" (Animation). A panel will open at the bottom, which will reflect the created frames.
Step 7
Arrange the pictures in the order in which the animation cycle should go through. By clicking on each frame, turn off those layers that should not be visible at the moment of the animation. Set the display time of each frame in the context menu. Click Play to check the result. Save your animation as.gif"
