Create Social Media Content: Animated Poster

Create social media content: Animated Poster

In the last video, we talked about creating a post with impactful text.

Now, let's level it up by adding effects to transform a still image into an animation!"

The key to animated posters is introducing environmental motion—this could be overlay elements, animated text, or even simulated camera movement within the image.

To start, I duplicated the image and changed the background of one to black. We have two identical images with contrasting colors. 

By placing them side by side and copy-paste the sequence a few times, we create a dynamic, color-shifting effect—almost like dancing lights at a disco!

Next, I downloaded some stock footage from YouTube- and layered it over the image.

This is how a still photo now has a 3D illusion that comes to life
