you can do this with a script. See:
https://www.mediafire.com/?dix0nzidtse

You will need to re-record the render with the ScriptListner plugin for the settings that you want. Right now it is using the Animation codec. Just make sure that you put the variables back in for the save path and the file name. Note their location in the Render function at the bottom. This script also has a runAction function that is commented out. Pull the runAction line out of the /* … */ block to get it to run if you need it. Then add the action name and action set name to the variables up top.

use two type layers, set with the two colors you want. Set one above and one below the ellipse layer. Clip the top one to the ellipse below by option clicking between the type layer and the ellipse layer in the Layers palette.

Unfortunately Photoshop does not have the ability to animate scale via interpolation.

You could possibly fake it using a Pattern and animating the Style.

Another option is to use a blank video layer and clone across frames. You can set the frame offset and scale of the clone source so that it will clone from the previous frame at a reduced scale. If you use a big enough hard brush could possibly just apply a single click to get all you want cloned. This is how the spinning wheel things in the sample file CheeziPuffs.mov was done. (starts around 10 second mark)

If you go through Export/Render Video you have the option to set Alpha premultiplication. Just render frame 0 to 0. Note file format must support transparency, and settings need to be million plus colors for some formats to get Alpha options. For Targa use the QuickTime Image Sequence choice unless you have the old Photoshop 7 targa plugin.

Are you using “Search Google for 3d model” from the File/Automate menu item? If you are downloading directly from Google 3d warehouse you would need to download a supported format and open it from Photoshhop

use layers.length to get the number of layers in the file

for (var i=0; i < layers.length; i++) { select layer[i] duplicate the layer to the other doc (probably need listener code for the dupe) or select all and copy and paste to the other doc } Mike Shaw Photoshop QE

You can use the listener plug-in to record a polygon lasso selection, or record creating a path and creating a selection from it.
