I want to photoshop some laser blasts into a 3d animation video I am making.

I know how to make lasers in photoshop. That isn't the problem.

What I don't know are any tricks or techniques to having them move, across multiple images.

The video will be 15 frames per second. I am assuming that a single laser blast will take less than a second, perhaps a third?

I am not sure how they should move, for instance overlapping like this (the underline is the laser, the periods are just for formatting):

___ Frame 1
...___ Frame 2
......___ Frame 3

or non overlapping like this:

___ Frame 1
.....___ Frame 2
..........___Frame 3

Should there be a motion blur effect? If so how?

Does anyone have any tutorial links or experience in this matter?

Thanks.
