Today we will take a few minutes to talk about our meme projects. We will look over all of them, and then I will go over the process of submitting your final two meme images.

- Learn to use the Timeline in photoshop, converting to "video timeline"
- Learn to adjust the timing of materials using the video timeline options (scale the timeline, trim the duration of layers)
- Export the GIF, using the number of colors options to reduce the file size
Finally, we will review some example of creative animated GIFs:
