Jumping To Hyperspace

I was studying my Star Wars DVDs and I think this is how I should do the effect for when the starships jump into hypserpace but I'm not sure. You think this would work (this is all in PSP 8 - I don't have AE or PS)?

First just make the thruster effect somewhat bigger for the first frame. Then for the others, but shrink the ship until it fades into nothingness.

Would that work or is there a better way?

That would work.  Also, if you want to be like the movies, the starfield rotates as the ship gets smaller.
