Here is a link to a clip from a larger animation. I added all the bumps frame by frame in photoshop - took ages lol ! My question is... In photoshop is there a way to automate the same textures bumps etc across say 100/200 frames? Got loads of ram so not a problem loading them all up at once.

The full animation which also has a fair amount of photoshopping/render work.. there is a nice example of key framing the colour and bumps.

Well, for one, there IS the automate feature, which operates more a a macro than anything.. BUT, there is also a batch mode, (Which I have little experience with), that CAN apply the actions to any number of images.. frames, really.
Hopw this helps.

That's a feature in photoshop... Click on File, you should see Automate, if you click on that you'll find Batch. I'm not really familiar with it either, but I think in order to use this, you'd first have to create a ps action and the "batch" would then apply this action to all the images you want to apply it to.

Sorry for the delay.. yes, it's Photoshop.. it has had that as a feature since at least CS2, for sure... I am unsure of previous versions..lol.. it has been a long time.

Batch has been around for a long time in Photoshop. I used to create Droplets in Image Ready when it was separate from Photoshop in version 5. Once a Droplet is created you drag a folder of files onto the Droplet icon and it then opens Photoshop to process the whole folder. It came in very handy when I used to process 300+ avatars daily for a chat program.
As for adding bmps to Photoshop I think the images has to be sequenced first. You can import the whole sequence at once.
