FLASHING OR BLINKING TEXT

[mapperx]

HELLO,

 

I make a picture with notes and put it on my Windows 10 desktop. Is there a plug-in (there are so many) that can make blinking or flashing text ? I want to add it to my picture.

 

Thanks

Greetings,
 

There are AGIF/APNG plugins that enable you to create blinking text animations such as the one that I created here:

 

Here is a link to the plugin used to create these animations:

You can't learn to swim if you don't get in the water!

To create blinking/flashing text can be created using as few as two frames (layers) of art and the correct timing.
Check out this tutorial by forum moderator Pixey:

You can also learn by deconstruction of an animated GIF.
Install the plugins. Rename the GIF's file extension to AGIF and inported it into Paint.NET.
It will be deconstructed into its layers (frames) and you can view what takes place in each frame.
You can use my animated GIF's posted in this thread or any other, to do your deconstuction.
Use what you learned from Pixey to arrange your frame sequences, set your timing, and to save your project.
