Start by making your gif as you usually would. I'm using the I Need U by BTS video, if you were wondering. (Or if you want to come in my ask and talk about BTS, that's completely fine as well. You are more than welcome.) 

I'm using the dimensions 268px by 140px. Make sure that you've converted your gif to timeline and it's a smart object because if it's not, this tutorial won't work.

Next select the part of the gif you want it to be reflected on.

Right click to invert the selection.

Then make a mask on the smart object layer with this button at the bottom of the layers pallet.

Now duplicate your smart object layer that you just put the mask on.

After duplicating it, go to Edit > Transform.

Right click and select Flip Horizontal.

Then reposition your gif to be back to back with your other one. You may have to select them both so they can be positioned on the canvas perfectly. 

Add your PSD (which I did way earlier) and you’re done!

Start by making your gifs. There is a link above for my tutorial on that, as well as to how I color them. 

We’re going to start with the text in the box. Start by drawing a rectangle of sorts in the middle of your canvas with the marquee tool. We’re going to move it later so it doesn’t have to be perfect. Just make sure the box will fit your text. 

Make a new layer and right click to Stroke the outline of the rectangle with a 1px width.

Now go ahead and add your text. I’m using Nevis with a size of 15 for this part. The text is centered. 

Since we’ve finished that, let’s make sure it’s all nice and centered on the gif. Select the entirety of your canvas, and make sure that in your layers pallet, you have highlighted the layer with the rectangle. Go to Layer > Align to Selection > Vertical Centers  Layer > Align to Selection > Horizontal Centers

Then you can save that and move on to the next gif! 

For this one, also go ahead and make it and color. All that jazz. Then make a new text box. I put the largest 2 by itself with the size of 54. 

Then make another text box right beside it and type the second number and whatever words will follow in the size 20.

Duplicate those layers and merge them (Select both of the layers and press control + shift + e) 

Then align them like I said earlier and you’re done with number two!

  Open an image of a TV in Photoshop. I'm using this one. 

Now, use the magic wand tool to select the inside screen of the TV.

Backspace, delete, or erase the inside of the screen.

Now find 2 or 3 images you want to put in the TV. 

Resize them and place them under the TV layer.

Now Google TV static and find two that you would like to use. Resize them and place them under the TV layer.

Now open your animation bar. Window>Animation

Right now you'll have a single frame that should look like this.

Now click the new frame button.

Turn on the visibility on the other static layer. 

Make another new frame and turn on the visibility for the first picture you want to show up. 

Continue this until you've gone through all the images. Set the timing to .1 on the static images and .3 on the actual pictures.

Save for Web & Devices and you're done.
