Step 1. Open PSP and open new image by clicking on File and selection New and be sure that you have the transparent box ticked.

Step 2. Click on the Text tool from the tool bar to the left of the screen. From the text tool options bar select either floating or vector for the create as option. Next click the text tool inside your new blank image.

We are now going to create the text you want to be displayed on your animated image.

Type the text you would like and click Apply.

Step 3. Next copy the text you have just created by clicking Edit and then select Copy.

Step 4. Open Animation Shop

Step 5. From within Animation Shop click on Edit, select Paste, and click on As new animation. This will give you the text in its own animation frame.

Step 6. Next go to File, Open, and bring up the animation that you want the text to be added to.

Step 7. On the top task bar you will see Propagate Paste. Looks like three sheets of paper. Click on that and then go back to Edit and down to Select All.

Step 8. Now you just click and drag the text down to the first animation frame, put the text where you want it to be and then let it go.

It will then be on all frames. If you want to see how it will work, go to the top task bar and click on the Film strip looking thing and it will show you what it looks like. Then all you do is go to File, Save As.

That’s it! Very quick and easy after you do it a couple of times!
