Live Preview (Temporary) / Static Preview: [Index] [Permalink] / Get the code: [pastebin] [github]
A simple sidebar theme with not-too-soft rounded corners. Suitable for all kinds of blog types but will particularly do well for image-heavy blogs.
Features:
Customizable post size and font size. Post size can be entered on the post size field and the font size can be entered on the font size field. The live preview uses 600px post size and a font size of 14px.
Customizable photoset gutter. The live preview uses 5px photoset gutter.
Three custom links.
One accent color and 7 color options.
Built-in lightbox for photoset posts.
Mostly NPF-friendly.
A 200px x 200px sidebar image.
Scroll-to-top button that appears when you scroll down the page.
Fade in effect on load
Notes:
I tried my best to make this theme NPF friendly, but until the usual, expect things to break or look weird.
Keep your description and your blog title short, otherwise the sidebar may be too long and it may look a little bit out of place.

Hello!! A couple years ago I posted this tutorial for making gifs with a moving overlay effect. In the two and a half years since I made that tutorial, I've learned some new tricks for this gif effect but most importantly I've learned how to explain things better.
For that reason, I've created this new and improved tutorial for my overlay gif effect. The basics are the same but it's simpler, I go into more detail, give better explanations, and have more comprehensive instructions.
The easiest way to do this effect with this method is to use smart objects and work in timeline. For this tutorial, Iām assuming you know the basics of giffing like cropping, resizing, colouring, etc. If you need help with this Iād suggest you look at some other tutorials and guides!!
First, weāre going to start off with three things.
1. A completed gif converted into a smart object that is going to be the base gif. I'm going to call this "gif1". Youāll want this gif to be at least 3 seconds because it needs to last as long as the overlay plus a little bit of extra time in the beginning.
This is the base gif Iāll be using in the example (except I trimmed it so that I could meet the size limit).
2. A second completed gif converted into a smart object that is going to go over the base gif. Weāre going to call this "gif2". This gif should be at least 2 seconds but Iāve made it work with shorter. Gif2 needs to be the same dimensions or bigger than gif1.Ā
This is the gif I'll be using in the example (except I trimmed it so that I could meet the size limit).
3. An overlay in video form. These can be found on tumblr and youtube by search for overlay or transition packs. For this example, I'll be using an ink drop overlay I found on youtube.
Step 1: Turning the overlay video into an overlay gif
Most overlays arenāt going to instantly fit the gif effect youāre trying to achieve right away. This is the overlay I got from youtube and as you can see itās too slow and needs a crop/resize to be usable.
To fix it, I sped the frame rate up, cropped the overlay, and resized the overlay so it fits over my base gif. I also sharpened the overlay (500% amount, 0.3px radius) so that the edges were smooth. This is the new overlay gif and the one Iāll be using for the gif effect.Ā
A tip: I also like to add a brightness/contrast layer to get rid of the grey on the overlay gif. Because weāre working with blending modes to achieve this effect, any parts of the overlay that are grey will be a blended mix of gif1 and gif2. If you think this will look good for your gif effect then don't worry about it!
Another tip: try to get the entire overlay movement to fit into a 2-3 second window. Anything longer than that will likely be cut off when you have to trim your gif to meet the upload size limit and it would suck to only have half of the overlay.
Step 2: Creating the gif effect
Drag a copy of gif2 and a copy of the overlay gif onto the gif1 canvas. I like to use Ctrl+Shift+V so that the layers are pasted in the same position as they were on the previous canvas. MAKE SURE that both overlay layers are in the same position on the canvas. If one of the overlay layers is higher/lower/etc. than the other then the effect won't work properly.
Then, make a second copy of the overlay and invert it (Ctrl+i). These are the layers you should have:
Before you go any further, trim gif2 and both overlay layers so they are all the same length.
Now, we need to rearrange the layers and set blending modes. The top layer should be whichever overlay goes from black to white. This is because when we change the blending modes, the white part of this layer will disappear and look like its being replaced by gif2. In this case, that is the overlay (inverted) layer. Then we want gif2, the other overlay layer, and then gif1.
A tip: this process can be done the other way where the top layer is the overlay that goes from white > black however, you are much more likely to have an error where there is a grey/black line around the overlay effect in your final gif. In order to avoid that, I always use the black > white layer on top.
Next, set the top overlay layer to darken. You should only see the black part from the overlay and gif2 should fill in the white part. Hereās how that looks in my example.Ā
Next, select the top overlay layer and gif2 and convert both layers into one smart object. Your layers tab should look like this now.Ā
Now, set the new layerās blending mode to lighten and the overlay layerās blending mode to darken. Once you do this, you should be able to see gif1 as well as the overlay gif.Ā
Step 3: Timeline and exporting
At the moment, gif1 is still significantly longer than the overlay gifs. Since this gif is just over 10 mb (which is pretty small for this effect) Iām going to trim about 1/4 of a second off the end of gif1 and then drag the overlay layers so they all end at the same time.Ā
Now youāre free to export the gif! This is the finished effect for the example gif!Ā
A tip: sometimes, when I convert to from timeline to frames, the gif becomes a little longer and slower. It has to do with different frame rates across the videos and photoshop but I'm not smart enough to understand it. If that happens, just set all the frames with the overlay layers to 0.04 speed instead of 0.05.
And we're finished! I hope that was helpful and made sense. If you have any questions feel free to drop them in my inbox or send me a message!! <3
i've had my beloved blog for what feels like forever, but today it turns 13, so in celebration and as a little thank you to all of you for following my nonsense and sticking around, i've decided to share some of my favourite layouts that i've created.
PLEASEĀ credit if you use any of these! either link to this post or the original sets linked below!!! (except of course the sharpening actions!)
HEXAGON LAYOUTĀ - this is my favourite kind of set to make so i hope y'all have as much fun with this as i do. there'sĀ twoĀ folders of the layout, one is just the reverse of the other depending on how you want your gifs to look, just clip your gifs to each hexagon and watch it all take shape!
[first seen here]
PALETTE MOVIE POSTERĀ - this psd has folders for each element, so the text layers are labelled in a group, and then the palette boxes are grouped together too, just fill each layer clipped to a palette square with your chosen colour!
[first seen here]
LETTERBOXD TEMPLATEĀ - i almost didn't share this one because of the labour of love it was to make, but feel like i'm so proud of it, it deserves to be shared. each movie space is split into a group, and within that there's the folders for the star ratings. you can toggle on/off the heart/review/date (as the ratings change you'll just have to shift over these logos to keep things uniform!) and clip your gif over the shape for the movie poster.
[first seen here]
DIAMOND MULTI GIF LAYOUTĀ -Ā the most simple of all the layouts, but it got a really great reaction so i'm throwing that in here too, again like the hexagons, there's two versions. one being the reverse of the others, just clip your gifs to each shape.
[first seen here]
SHARPEN ACTIONS - VERSION #1 & VERSION #2 - have been asked about sharing these recently so thought i'd add this in, i mostly use version one but occasionally it's too sharp for certain media, so i use version two, which is just the same thing without the last extra sharpening!
i strongly recommend that you reset defaults before using it, so the new settings wonāt have conflict with your current theme, but it will work if you donāt do it anyway
