You space themed infographic - queries

Hi Arathi,
I can't see anything when I click your image, can you try inserting it in your reply?

But also, the method you're describing for how we did this is not how we did it.

First Greg drew the planets for me in Illustrator. They were not on a background. Then I brought them into After Effects, and animated them and added the red background there. I created my animation so that it ended in the same spot that it began so as to create a loop. I rendered my animation as an mp4 video. Then I brought that video into photoshop by choosing File > Import > Video Frames to Layers. Then went to File > Export > Save for Web (Legacy). Then fiddled with the settings until I had it right, making sure the file was saved as a continuously looping gif.

Then in the course, we inserted a labeled graphic block and uploaded the gif as the image, placing our markers on each of the planets, and changing the background color of that block to the same red color as the gif background.

I hope that makes more sense of it. For your first attempt, I'd suggest just getting some of those black and white icon animations I linked in the beginning and using them as flashcards or something like that. Just playing around with it and seeing what works for you might give you more insight into how you can use gifs in other creative ways.

Cheers!
