How To Create Looping Paper Texture Animation in Photoshop:
- Create a new document (I used 1920 x 1080 px 72 DPI )
- Drag a texture file onto the canvas and use Free Transform (cmd+t) to scale the texture larger than the canvas size so there is room to move it around when animating so the background is not visible
- Go to Window in the top menu and click on ‘Timeline’ which is used for Photoshop animations
- Select ‘Frame Animation’ from the drop-down and click on the button to create a timeline
- There should be one frame on the timeline and the paper texture should be visible
- Click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the timeline to add a new frame (2 frames total)
- With the cursor as the Move Tool (v), click and drag the texture to a new random position
- Click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the timeline to add a new frame (3 frames total)
- Click and drag the texture to a new random position
- Click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the timeline to add a new frame (4 frames total)
- Click and drag the texture to a new random position
- Click the ‘+’ at the bottom of the timeline to add a new frame (5 frames total)
- Click and drag the texture to a new random position
- Select all 5 frames (shift + click)
- Click on the little drop-down menu for ‘delay’ and change to 0.1 seconds
- Press the Spacebar to preview animation
