So I am working on making the animations for the theme that I am sooooooo close to being done with, but the only problem is that they are taking me like 30mins each for the small ones. Attached is a pic of what the animation png looks like, and I want to know if anyone knows a quick way that that result could be accomplished. What i am doing is making as many duplicates of the frames as the base image is tall (pixels), and then going through and deleting a row of pixels 1 pixel high and as many across as the image is wide. Then I delete everything above that row. Then when I have that done, I have to copy each layer and paste it into the loooooooooooong image file. The result looks like what you see below. Anyway, I have only gotten done with Mercury, Venus, and Earth, and I am dreading Jupiter and Saturn, simply because I believe it will take me over an hour for each. Any ideas guys?

Sounds like an ideal opportunity to make and use a Photoshop action.  I'd make it a simple two or three step affair:

1) Move the selection up one pixel
2) Delete selection
3) (optional) Save Image As... or Save For Web...

Then all you have to do is assign a hot-key and hit it X times.

Automation rocks

where do I go to create it?

EDIT

Never mind, I googled it. Thanks a lot.
