Possible to animate effect parameters?

Hi, I'm rather new to animations in Photoshop. I'm wondering if there is a (simple) way to animate effect parameters for example. Let's say I want to create an animation for a still that gradually increses the strenght of oil paint effect filter. I don't mean gradually increasing the opacity of a layer containing the oil paint effect, but actually gradually increasing certain values of an effect/filter. I know I could do this frame by frame but I'm interested in automated function for this. Thanks in advance!
