Rounded border batch icons tutorial.

Under the read more you’ll find my step by step guide on how I make my rounded border icons in batches. There may be different ways to do it but this is how I do it and through this process I’m normally able to make a couple hundred icons within an hour. Just remember to never put more than 85-100 caps at one time. The border that I use can be found here. 

OPEN PHOTOSHOP  ↦ CTRL + N or click file ↦ NEW ↦ I always put 1080 x 780. Most original screencaps will fit in that. Make sure where it says background contents you have it set to transparent. 

Next click CREATE VIDEO TIMELINE 

click on the film strip then ADD NEW MEDIA

Select 85 to 100 screencaps that you want to use for icons.

after that CLICK ON THE THREE BOXES ON THE BOTTOM LEFT CORNER.

Everything should look something like this. Now you’re going to DRAG THE FIRST FRAME IN THE TIMELINE TO THE TRASH BIN TO DELETE IT.

CLICK ON THE CROP TOOL  ↦ at the top left corner change W x H x Resolution to 1 : 1 ( SQUARE ) 

Once cropped everything should look like this. 

Next hit ALT+CTRL+I or click on IMAGE  ↦ then type in whatever size you want your icons. I always choose 75x75.

Next go to bridge and OPEN YOUR ICON PSD ↦ SELECT THE FIRST ICON IN YOUR LAYERS PANEL ↦  DROP THE PSD OVER THE ICONS.

Everything should look like this. In your layers panel CLICK ON VIDEO GROUP 1 to minimize that folder. 

I cannot stress enough how important this next step is! Now that the video group 1 file is minimized CLICK ON THE FOUR LINES AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF YOUR TIMELINE  ↦  FLATTEN FRAMES INTO LAYERS.

SELECT THE VIDEO GROUP 1 FOLDER  ↦  DELETE ↦  CLICK GROUP AND CONTENTS 

IF YOU ARE NOT INTERESTED IN ROUNDED BORDER ICONS THEN SKIP TO THE EXPORTING SECTION BELOW. 

Now for the border go back to BRIDGE ↦ OPEN YOUR BORDER PSD 

GO BACK TO YOUR ICONS TAB 

CLICK ON THE FOUR LINES ON THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF YOUR TIMELINE  ↦  SELECT ALL FRAMES  ↦ COPY FRAMES

GO BACK TO YOUR BORDER TAB ↦ CLICK ON THE FOUR LINES ↦ PASTE FRAMES

Everything should look like this. SELECT THE BORDER LAYERS IN YOUR PANEL  ↦ RIGHT CLICK  ↦ DUPLICATE LAYERS

DRAG THE NEW SET OF BORDER LAYERS ABOVE ALL THE SCREENCAPS IN YOUR LAYERS PANEL 

SELECT THE OLD SET  AT THE BOTTOM ↦ DELETE THEM 

DELETE THE FIRST FRAME IN YOUR TIMELINE.

Now everything should look like this. 

ZOOM IN FROM 100% TO 600% 

CLICK ON THE FOUR LINES ↦ SELECT ALL FRAMES  ↦ HIGHLIGHT ALL OF THE SCREENCAPS IN YOUR LAYER PANEL ( leave the border files unselected ) 

SELECT THE MOVE TOOL  ↦ 

DRAG THE CORNERS OF THE CAPS BEHIND THE BORDER  ↦ CLICK ON THE CHECK

CHANGE FROM 600% BACK TO 100 %

At this point I normally change the frame delay from 5sec. to 0.2 then press play and let it run like a gif that way I can see which icons didn't look good and delete them. You don’t really have to do that though bc you can always go into the folder after you’ve finished all of the icons and filter out the bad ones then. Tbh the extra step just saves me time later on. 

AGAIN THIS STEP IS SUPER IMPORTANT!  CLICK ON THE FOUR LINES AT THE TOP RIGHT CORNER OF YOUR TIMELINE  ↦  FLATTEN FRAMES INTO LAYERS.

GO TO YOUR LAYERS PANEL ↦ SELECT EVERYTHING UNDER FRAME 1  ↦ DELETE EVERYTHING SELECTED. 

CONGRATS YOU’RE ALMOST FINISHED WE JUST HAVE THE EXPORTING SECTION LEFT.

CLICK FILE  ↦ EXPORT  ↦ LAYERS TO FILES

CLICK BROWSE AND SELECT WHATEVER FOLDER YOU WANT YOUR ICONS SAVED INTO 

NAME YOUR ICON BATCH. Now you’re going to have to change the name for each batch otherwise it will just keep replacing the icons from the last batch with the icons from the new one. I always name my batches something like  FCINITIALS_01_  that way when it comes to the next batch I just have to change it to FCINITIALS_02_  and so on. 

MAKE SURE THE SETTING MATCH THE SCREENCAP BELOW THEN CLICK RUN

Once you click run you can’t touch photoshop until the icons are finished exporting. A batch of 85 - 100 icons normally takes about 3-5 minutes on my computer so I normally just go on tumblr and chill until the icons are finished exporting. When they are finished photshop will make a sound and then you just click okay. 

Now you’re finished, you can go into the folder that you exported everything to and take a look at the icons if you want.  If I’m making more than one batch after I hit okay I just go back to the tab that has the original screencaps click on history, then click on the first tab, and it should take you back the original 1080 x 780 transparent image.
