Hello! I just saw your last Caskett gifset for usergif and i loved it, can i aks how did you make the old film look/filter?

Hi, Anon! I used an overlay which I got from here :) I don't know if you're familiar with overlays but here's what I do:

SMALL OVERLAY TUTORIAL

First I make my gif as I usually do and in that gifset this was the base I was working with (a gif with 37 frames):

So, next I take screencaps of the overlay I'm using and I make sure it's got the same number of frames, in this case 37. Now I put my overlay screencaps above my gif and this is what my photoshop looks like:

Notice how I placed my overlay between the text and the base gif. The text thing is optional but I liked the text to stand out.

Now, as you can see this overlay's background isn't completely black but gray, and I didn't want that. I added a Selective Color layer and increased the "Black" in the "Black" tab to +100. This is how it looks now:

The difference is noticeable right? Well now onto the last step. I went to my overlay group layer and set the Blending mode to Lighter Color and the Opacity to 50%.

This step depends on your personal preference so feel free to play around with the Blending Modes and the Opacity and see which ones suit your gif best. With those settings I got my final gif:

And that's how I work with overlays! There are so many nice overlays in youtube you just have to use keywords like camera, vhs, old video, lightleaks, etc. Overlays can completely change your gifs and turn a simple gif into a beautiful and complex one!
