As the idea of the blog is to play with these tools, we decided to come up with something for this new feature. So in this tutorial we will show you a simple animation using the new timeline and some light effect tricks.
The whole process is super simple and won't take you more than 20 minutes. Open Photoshop CS6 and create a new document. Use Radial for the Style and for the colors use black and f for the center.
Add a new layer and fill it with a pattern. Use Soft Light for the Blend Mode. Add a text you want to use for the light effect. I am using the letter A of Abduzeedo using a stencil font called Major Snafu. To create the light effect we will use Layer Styles. Duplicate the layer and disable the layer styles.
Use Inner Shadow and Inner Glow using the settings below. This is the results you will get after the layer styles. It's very similar with another tutorial I wrote a few years ago showing how to create a neon effect in Photoshop. Again the idea of this tutorial is to play with the timeline feature. That's why I will cover the first steps quickly. Add 2 layers on top of the other layers and name them right and left.
Hmm, I am not sure. I read a thread an hour ago stating that it does indeed work with Photoshop CS6 Standard, maybe this is an error caused by Photoshop that that option is not there? Add a comment.

This is an error caused by Photoshop, and I just want to know if that's true, and how I would contact photoshop.
Once again, You already have a frame animation. It's already created. Photoshop can't create a frame animation from a frame animation. There is no error in Photoshop. It's functioning exactly how it is supposed to. FaithfulArts Scott is right. You should do a little more research on how to use a frame by frame animation in photoshop. What you have there is a single frame. You can't animate just one frame. You need to create another frame the new frame button to the left of the delete button in Scott's image with your character in a different position and only then you will see the play button enabled.
The keyframe at the opposite end of the selection remains in place as you drag, slowing down or speeding up the animation.
You can copy keyframes for a property such as Position to the same property in any layer. When you paste keyframes, they reflect the copied offset from the current-time indicator. You can copy keyframes from only one layer at a time. When you paste keyframes into another layer, they appear in the corresponding property in the destination layer.
The earliest keyframe appears at the current time, and the other keyframes follow in relative order. The keyframes remain selected after pasting, so you can immediately move them in the timeline. In the Timeline panel containing the destination layer, move the current-time indicator to the point in time where you want the keyframes to appear. You can add a blank video layer to your document when you want to create frame-by-frame hand-drawn animations. Adding a blank video layer above a video layer and then adjusting the opacity of the blank video layer allows you to see the contents of the video layer below.
You can then rotoscope the video layer content by painting or drawing on the blank video layer. See also Paint frames in video layers. Optional In the Timeline panel, choose Enable Onion Skins from the panel menu to enable the onion skin mode. As you create more hand-drawn frames, you can either drag the current time indicator or use the playback controls to preview your animation. A blank video frame can be added to or removed from a blank video layer.
You can also duplicate existing painted frames in blank video layers. In the Timeline panel, select the blank video layer and then move the current-time indicator to the desired frame. Insert Blank Frame. Delete Frame. Duplicate Frame.
Onion skin mode displays content drawn on the current frame plus content drawn on the surrounding frames. These additional frames appear at the opacity you specify to distinguish them from the current frame. Onion skin mode is useful for drawing frame-by-frame animations because it gives you reference points for stroke positions and other edits.
Onion skin settings specify how previous and later frames appear when onion skins are enabled. See Timeline panel overview. Onion Skin Count. Specifies how many previous and forward frames are displayed. Enter the Frames Before previous frames and Frames After forward frames values in the text boxes. Frame Spacing.
Specifies the number of frames between the displayed frames. For example, a value of 1 displays consecutive frames, and a value of 2 displays strokes that are two frames apart. Current frame with one frame after B. Current frame with both one frame before and after C. Current frame with one frame before. You can open animations that were saved in older versions of Photoshop as multilayer Photoshop PSD files. The layers are placed in the Timeline panel in their stacking order, with the bottom layer becoming the first frame.
In the Layers panel, select the layers you want for the animation, and choose Make Frames From Layers from the panel menu. Buy Adobe Photoshop or start a Free Trial.

Create a new document. Specify the Set Timeline Frame Rate in the panel menu. Add a layer. A new layer for adding content. A new video layer for adding video content.
A new blank video layer for cloning content to or creating hand-drawn animations. Add content to the layer. Optional Add a layer mask. Turn on keyframing for a layer property. Move the current time indicator and change a layer property. Change the position of the layer to make layer content move. Change layer opacity to make content fade in or out.
