Yes it does! :) Just remember to read both tutorials, “Pictures inside text” & “How to gif” very carefully before attempting this…

• Create a new file, 500px + 500px should be fine.
• Copy the gif frames you want to appear inside your text, like you would copy the picture.

• Now go back to your new file and add as many frames to to it as your gif has (23 frames in my case)

• Now paste the gif frames above the file frames and select all the gif layers to move them to the center (the layers & the first frame have to be selected while doing so)

• Type your text on top of your gif and remember to keep the text layer at the very top of all layers.

• Raster the text layer, select it (ctrl + a), move the text so it’ll adopt the selection and lastly right-click on it to choose Inverse.

• It’s time to delete that text layer so only the selection remains. Afterwards you add a new (color) fill layer and choose white: layer » new fill layer » solid color

• You’re basically done. Play the gif and see if it fits the text…

You do know that you can’t pass 500px width and the 1MB gif limit, because otherwise it won’t move on Tumblr since it’s now a gif (that means you have to save it as a gif as well). Also feel free to add any textures or adjustmenst to this in case you want to turn it into an edit.

Sorry for the late response, I tend to forget about the messages in my ask ^^;; You mean sth like this right?

For that black bar you simply

1. Create a new layer above all layers.
2. Select the area that’s going to be your black bar with the Retangular Marquee tool ().
3. And fill it with black (Menu Topbar > Edit > Fill). 

Just click anywhere (while still using the marquee tool) to make the selection disappear. It’s time for the conversation (aka the subtitles). There isn’t any “best font” for it I guess, just use a font that’s readable. I recommend those standard fonts like arial, verdana, georgia or if you want to use a tiny one for more space use this one- It’s called “04b03” and the font size “8px” suits it the best. How to apply the conversation on that black bar is as easier done as the bar itself:

1. Choose the Text tool ().
2. Type down the conversation.
3. You’re already done.

Make sure this text layer is above the black bar layer and all the other layers. So it’ll be visible on the gif. You can change the color of the text as well. Don’t move the text around on other frames, always select the first frame! Otherwise it’ll f*ck up everything ^^;;

And the black bar doesn’t have to be black either. You can for example make it white and semi-transparent like this.

(He didn’t really say that by the way lol). It’s the same process, but to make the bar transparent you have to change it’s Opacity. 

Again, don’t mess around on other frames, always select the first frame if you change or add things (!)

Nope, that’s probably not done with the eraser but with a gradient filler layer ^^

• So you have your gif and you added your coloring and stuff. It should be looking like this…

Sure. You simply… 

• Open all the pictures you want to use.
• Copy+paste the other pictures over the first one. Just like this…

• Now you’ve to work with frames since it’s going to be a gif. I have 4 pictures so I need 4 frames: a layer (aka the picture) each frame. This is similar to my blurry transition tutorial, without the blurriness though. After you created 4 frames (make sure you are able to see the animation frame btw: window > animation)…

• … you need to assign each frame to the right layer. Select the first frame and make the first layer visible (by clicking the eye).

• Since it’s already visible move on with the second frame. Select the second frame and only the second layer has to be visible. Deselect all the other layers. 

• Keep doing this with the remaining layers until each frame has it’s own layer. It should basically look like this:

and don’t forget to change the seconds to at least 0,5sec so it won’t be playing to fast. 

• You’re pretty much done all you need to do is saving it. Since this is just like a gif you’ll have to save it like a gif and you also have to make sure it’s Tumblr compatible: It can’t be bigger than 500KB (496KB to be safe) and it can’t be wider than 500px or it won’t move. Now go to file > save for web & devices and save it. 

You should also know that you can’t use to many pictures. I used only 4 and it was already 455KB.

That’s probably because the quality of your gif was kinda bad already. Adding the sharpen filter doesn’t always help ^^;; I don’t do it to low quality videos either. See the difference:

low quality video/gif (no sharpen filter added. It’d ruin it.)

high quality video/gif (+sharpen filter)

In case you want to use it to make your gifs look better your video should already have a high quality resolution. (Like I said once: You can’t make an eatable apple out of a rotten one, even Photoshop can’t do that).

First of all you make a gif (→ how to make gifs). The bigger the better I guess.

All you’ve to do is to crop it. But first: Choose the slice tool and mark your gif.

Now you’re going to divide the single sections you’ll be cropping out later for your photoset. Let’s make it three sections each line: right click > devide slice

result: 3 sections and 3 lines

Last step: Crop every section and upload them to create such a photoset.

You now should be having 9 mini gifs. Time to upload them: Keep pressing the + Add an other photo until you have 9 photos to upload… and… it should look like this.

Let me tell you though: I don’t recommend such photosets. It’s way to much work with all the cropping and stuff. Such photosets don’t even work out for all dashboards equally. People with a slow internet connection will see it all fucked up. So it doesn’t really pay off.

So you’re combining gifs? Just make the last and first frames of each gif blurry and I guess it’ll work out…

an example for combining two gifs/scenes;

and the blurry frames should play a bit longer than the other (for example; other frames = 1 sec. / blurry frames = 2 sec.) otherwise it’ll move to fast and you won’t notice the motion blur…

to require a high quality gif you should first of all…

• try to make it small/slim by cropping more of the top and bottom: width > height (around 500x220 pixel) for example… 

• try to reduce the frames. 10 frames or less is mostly perfect. you’ll get in trouble if there are more than 13-15 frames.

now you can try to add as many effects as you want to make your gif look nice w/o paying attention to the end result of your gif being to large (it depends tho, don’t overdo it.) you can also go through every single layer+frame and add sharpen. it’ll look more hq. (example…)

and also remember: the less frames, the more creative freedom.
