Ok here part 2 of my Gun Shot tutorial!
14 For the last thing we'll do with the shot_flash movie clip, select it and change its brightness to 100%.
If you don't know how to do this then select the movie clip and on the Properties Panel (usually on the bottom of the screen)
theres a thing called brightness, Change it to 100% or untill it looks similiar to the one below.
15 Now your gunshot flash is looking good! To make this even more realistic and awesome looking, we'll give the gun a little reflection of light.
Select your gun and give it a drop shadow filter. Make sure inner drop shadow is selected and use the below parameters to give it an awesome look!
16 Congratulations, you have finished Frame 2! That was the hardest frame, but once you do this a couple times, you will just fly through these things! Below is what your timeline whould look like after Steps 1 -15
17 Now on to Frame 3, but don't worry it's a lot easier than 2.
Create a new keyframe for each of your layers.
18 Select your gun and move it back towards its original position. If you moved it back for the recoil 6 pixels, move it towards its original position 2-3 pixels. If you did 10 pixels, move it back 3-4 pixels, etc.
19 Completely delete everything on the Shot layer. That was only good for one frame, so you don't need it anymore. Just select it and press delete. Don't worry, it is still in your Library of objects; you only deleted it from the stage.
20 Select the Muzzle Flash layer and select your muzzle_flash movie clip. Similar to changing the shot_flash movie clip's brightness, you will change its transparency to 30%.
21 Alright, finished with Frame 3.
Create a new keyframe for each of your layers for Frame 4
22 For frame 4, all you have to do is move your gun slightly back towards its original position again, about a pixel or two away, and then change the alpha on the muzzle_flash movie clip to 8%, so that it's barely visible.
23 This is what youre timeline should look like now.
24 Congratulations, you are finished! Mess around with frames per secon rate until you are satisfied!
