Open animation window. For the first frame hide the DVD tray layers except the first one. Hide the captured frame layers too.

Duplicate frame.For each duplicate keep hiding and unhiding the DVD tray layers till the DVD is inside the laptop.


Duplicate frame. Start unhiding the sequential frame layers in every duplicate frame. The more frames you add, the smoother animation will look but be careful about the final size of the file as well.

This will create an illusion of some movie playing as soon as the DVD gets inside the laptop.
