When working with templates, always Shift+D to duplicate, close original.
On each layer, either:

B: Ctrl+A, Ctrl+F. Ctrl+Shift+F (select all, float, de-float)
ANL, do the tutorial steps required
Close/delete original template layer
B: Use the Manual Color Correction Tool
*Note: Method B is the option I use, so you may need to select your layer first before adding any effects*
Open template, duplicate, close original

Whew! Still with me? LOL
Animating...(If not animating, just add the GG, noise, DS to the bottom layer of each Circle ONLY.
No Duplicating anything)
Duplicate EACH GG layer 3 times (4 layers each)
Bottom GG Layer_DS_0_0_75_15_Black
On EACH of the other 3 GG layers, add DSB Flux_Bright Noise_30
Be sure to click "MIX" for each layer
Close out the top 2 Flux layers for each circle
***When done, you should have these layers:
Circles 1 & 2: 7 Layers_Bottom GG & DS_Next 3 - GG & Noise_Next Layer - Fritillary_Blend Mode Normal_
Next 2 Layers - Fritillary_Blend Mode Overlay
Circles 3 & 4: 6 Layers_Bottom GG & DS_Next 3 - GG & Noise_Next Layer - Next Layer_Normal -
Next Layer - Blend Mode_Burn
Circles 5 & 6: 5 Layers_Bottom GG & DS_Next 3 - GG & Noise_Next Layer - C & S_CLDots
That's a lot of layers!!
Now, the easy part...animate as usual!!
***Alternatively, you could simply merge the original circle layers 1 & 2, 3 & 4, and 5 & 6
together before adding the GG and duplicating. That would reduce the number of layers.
But, I wrote this as I was going along, and I already have my million layers, so going with it now, LOL.
