Puppet Warp in a Video Timeline

Is there a way to get puppet warp to work in a video timeline? If not is there a easy way to replicate it in a frame timeline without editing 100+ frames? I am using CS6 Extended.

I know After Effects can get it done but the preview render times are killing me.

editing 100+ frames

There may be video-tutorials around that fails to mention converting the Layer to a Smart Object before duplicating and puppet-warping the instances for the Frame Animation.

Doing that will naturally not improve the performance but it will make later edits of all the instances possible along with maintaining edibility of the Filter applications without aggregating unnecessary damages.

Would you really expect an obsolete version of an image editing program to offer better video editing performance than an actual video editing program?

So far Puppet Warp cannot be animated in Photoshop as far as I know.

Not all of us are as privileged as you to use such ''superior'' software.

It’s not a question of »superiority« but of adequacy.

And your apparent hope that Photoshop would do After Effects’ job better/faster than After Effects seems overly optimistic.

In the original post you seemed to indicate that After Effects’ render times are the problem, not that you don’t have access to it.
