- You may use an image of the product from a website or catalog as a component of your animation, but you must create your own original animation.
- Requirements:
- The size is 970px wide by 250 px high.
- The animation must be a minimum of 4 frames and must be an appropriately
small file size(less than 200k).
Note:The size presets in Photoshop change, so you may need to put these sizes in yourself in the new file dialog box. Just make sure the units are set to pixels, or your image could be huge. See the example image below:
