HOW TO CREATE A FRAME ANIMATION IN PHOTOSHOP

Step 1: 
Create a new document. 

Step 2: 
Create a new timeline by going to Window>timeline. 

Step 3: 
The time line should appear at the bottom of your page.

Step 4: 
Create your art. (in this case I just used a soft brush and a painted a squiggle)

Step 5: 
To create your next frame in your animation in the layers palette click duplicate layer.

Step 6: 
Create more art on the new layer.

Step 7: 
Continue to build up layers/cells/frames.  These will animate in order.  Once you have completed your art click Create Frame Animation in the timeline at the bottom.  

Step 8: 
On the right hand side of the timeline click Make Frames from Layers. 

Step 9: 
Your layers should appear as frames in your timeline.  This would be your opportunity to change the rate at which the frames advance. 

Step 9: 
When you have completed your adjustments go to File>Export>Render Video 

Step 10: 
Be careful picking your video settings.  You wouldn't want it to be too high if it is for the internet.  I suggest H.264 at HDTV resolution.
