Switch animation modes (Photoshop Extended)
In Photoshop Extended, you can use the Animation palette in either frame animation mode or timeline animation
mode. Frame mode shows the frame duration and layer animation properties of your Photoshop document.
Timeline mode shows the frame duration and keyframed layer properties of videos and animations in a timeline.
You should select the mode you want before starting an animation. Switching modes in an open document converts
a frame animation to a timeline animation or vice versa.
