How to add an intro animation to your designs with PosterMyWall

To create an animation, open a design (image or video) and without selecting any item, find the new ‘Animation’ option on the right contextual menu in the editor.

Setting an intro animation involves only 2 steps:

  • Select an intro animation from 10 unique animation options.
  • Adjust the animation speed and direction (direction available for some animations).

Intro Animations come in 10 forms, shown below:

Block

Blocks zoom in followed by your movable items coming into view. You can alter the appearance time using the ‘Speed’ option under ‘Animation’.

Fade

All movable items will gradually appear into view. You can alter the appearance time using the ‘Speed’ option under ‘Animation’.

Jello

All movable items shake from the screen and emerge. You can alter the appearance time using the ‘Speed’ option under ‘Animation’.

Pan

Items gradually slide one by one into the design. You can choose the sliding direction and speed using the ‘Direction’ and ‘Speed’ options respectively.

Slide

All movable items slide to the left or the right. Unlike ‘Pan’, all items appear at the same time. You can choose the sliding direction and speed using the ‘Direction’ and ‘Speed’ options respectively.

Rise

Your movable items will rise into view. You can alter the animation speed using the ‘speed’ option. 

Pop

Items pop up one by one into existence. You can alter the animation speed using the ‘speed’ option. 

Rotate

Items rotate 360 degrees one by one until they settle into position. You can alter the animation speed using the ‘speed’ option. 

Tumble

Items are thrown in and settle down one by one into the design. You can alter the animation speed using the ‘speed’ option. 

Bounce Down

Your movable items fall down into the canvas, travel a certain distance along the canvas, then stop, bounce and settle at their destination. You can alter the animation speed using the ‘Speed’ option. 

And that’s all there is to animations. Happy designing!
