Help with Saving Progressive Layers as Video or Files

hi, interested in creating animated video photoshop. have 80+ layers, each 1 building on last. example, layer 1 simple horizontal line ( - ). layer 2 simple vertical line ( | ). both layers on, form cross ( + ). layer 1 must visible layer 2 make sense, within video. so, each previous layer must remain visible when next layer turned on. next, next.

 

previously, have manually saved layer 1 jpg, turned on layer 2 , saved new file, turned on layer 3, saved next new file,and on, until go through layers. used video editing program put files in sequence , render video.

 

i hoping ps (cs5) can me. need render video each layer turning on (perhaps .03 second delay, in animation strip) previous layers remaining on. onion skin's max layers 8, doesn't work me.

 

if can't render video directly ps, how can create action will

1. save file without prompt jpg layer name file name, in directory psd file resides

2. make visible next layer (or down, whatever)

3. repeat until layers complete, no matter how many layers

you should able either using frame sequence animation or timeline animation.  frame sequence animation, click on first frame turn on visibility of layer want shot.  create new frame, leaving first layer on, turn on next layer.  keep doing layers.
