You can use the Animation panel in either frame mode or timeline mode. Timeline mode shows the frame duration and animation properties for
document layers. Use the tools at the bottom of the panel to navigate through frames, zoom the time display in or out, toggle onion skin mode,
delete keyframes, and preview the video. You can use controls on the timeline itself to adjust frame duration for a layer, set keyframes for layer
properties, and designate a section of the video as the working area.

In timeline mode, the Animation panel displays each layer in a Photoshop document (except the background layer) and is synchronized with the
Layers panel. Whenever a layer is added, deleted, renamed, grouped, duplicated, or assigned a color, the changes are updated in both panels.
When animated layers are grouped as a Smart Object, the animation information from the Animation panel is stored in the Smart Object.
