I had to continue my post here since I'm only allowed to post a sertain amount of images in each post. Sorry about this..

You should read the post Matrix Effects in Photoshop before doing with this one. LINK
Animate your image:

Follow this steps if you want an animated matrix effect:

1) Open a new document. Make the hight much longer than you want your final result to be. I will be using 350x150 pixels.

2) Repeat the same matrix effect you have learned until you have something like this:


3) Save your image as GIF and then open it in Image Ready.
File -> Save as... Format: GIF

4) In Image Ready, go to Window -> Animation.

5) Duplicate your image by clicking the Duplicate Frame button:


6) Select the second frame + the move tool from the tool bar.

7) Hold down Shift while you use the move tool to drag your image down the canvas. Leave no more than a third of your image present on the canvas. Try to make it look something like this:


8) Go to Select -> Load Selection -> Layer 1 Transparency

9) While selecting, go to Image -> Crop.


10) On the animation palette, click the Tween button. Use these settings:


11) Your animation palette will now look like this:
Pick Forever in the looping options like above. You can now test your animation by pressing play.

12) Go to File -> Save Optimized As... and save as GIF.

Now you're animation should be finished and done
This id how mine turned out:


Hope someone can make use of this tutorial then I know it probably isnt the greatest matrix effect out there, but at least it shouldn't be too hard to do
