: How do I slow down a Photoshop timeline animation? I have created a complex Photoshop timeline animation (as opposed to a simple frame animation) that I would like to slow down. By "slow down"

In Photoshop's timeline window, right click the layer. The options for duration and speed should open!

Added:

If the video layer is already in a "Video Group" and a Smart Object Layer... you have to open the Smart Object, and then right click THAT internal timeline to adjust the speed/duration.

When you transform or otherwise alter a video layer, you are presented with a dialog....



Perhaps you missed it or click the "don't show again option". But this essentially tells you the layer structure is changing, which adds a "Video Group" to the Layers panel, and converts the video layer to a Smart object (note the icon in the bottom right of the layer thumbnail is differnt). So....

If your layers look like this:



With the video as part of a "Video Group" and as a Smart Object, you need to double-click the Smart Object layer. This will open a new window containing that video clip. Your layers will look like this:



Just a straight video object without the "Video Group".

Then you can right-click the timeline to adjust speed and duration:



You can only adjust speed and duration when a video layer is highlighted, because you're then changing the video clip, rather than its possible encompassing smart object.

This works, but it does somewhat depend upon the layer structure of your file regarding where you have to click.

You can select all frames in a "frame animation" by clicking on the first, holding shift and then scrolling to the last, and clicking that one.

When all frames are selected, you can change the "Delay" amount by clicking the downward arrow on the bottom of each frame. The delay defines the wait time between one frame and the next.

When all frames are selected, changing the "Delay" time will adjust all frames delay time.

Open your file (for example my green emoji gif) and go to Timeline (Window>Timeline)
Select convert to video icon


Click the waffle and select Set Timeline Frame Rate...

I just checked and fastest method I could find without writing a Script or Action is to use AnimDessin2 (which is great and should be used anyways) then do it keyframe by keyframe. opt+[ / ] combined with the AnimDessin + button. Might be able to turn this into an Action to make it only one button but I'm not sure, I've never tried using Plugins with Actions or Shortcuts.
