Duplicate the bottom layer 4 times

Hide the bottom one

Just saving in just in case I make a mistake :)

On the first one

Filter → Xenofex 2 → Constellation

With the following Settings:

Add it to the other 3 layers

Hitting random seed on each one

Lower the opacity of the layer just about these from 70% to 50%

Have the delay set to .15 and set to go forever

Have for layers in the animation window

only having one visible for each frame

Press play to watch it go

If you're happy with the result save as a .gif and you're done.

If you'd like to make an avi

I did it by merging my layers together and dragging them over and resizing to how I'd like

then readded the borders, names, copyright information

The animation is the same that I used before, only just on the black overlay border instead :)
