How to animate clouds

[simontheak]

Hi there,

I'm just curious as to how you might achieve the effect that has been created on THIS TEMPLATE (http://www.templatemonster.com/show.php?templ=3609&type=1&cat=63).

I'm talking about the clouds on the upper example.

Thanks!

Cloud you can make with photoshop filters, or borrow them from the web of course.

Then a motion tween, with an alpha fade to zero, three layers of that and a bit of use of the gray matter as regarding the ins and outs of the keyframes and you can make it repeat itself, better than the example actually, which "jumps" while playing the movie.

Haven't got time to whip up an example of how to do it, but here's something I did on a similar (read totally different) theme, a while back....
