Now I see it is a video timeline not a frame animation timeline!
Can you go to timeline options and convert to Frame animation, then select all frames, hit the trash and delete frames.
This is all new to me...learning about the new video features in Photoshop is confusing. Was OK with frame animation animated gifs!
Cheers, Rob

It seems like the trash can is for deleting keyframes.

From what I gather, there are no keyframes so the trash can is grayed out.

This is what the timeline in PS looks like.


Thanks.

That actually deletes the layers from the file.

A client has given me a bunch of PSD files that have got Photoshop animations embedded in them.

I cannot figure out how to kill all the animation / timeline effects.

If Import the file into AE as a comp, it sets the in and out points of all the layers as it is in the Photoshop timeline, even if I select all the layers and move them to the start of my AE timeline, they still just cut on as they did in Photoshop.

I tried saving the PSD as a TIFF with layers and re-opening it in Photoshop but somehow it still kept all the in and out points of each layer.

This is a nightmare as I have a folder full of PSD files that I want to bring in to AE as comps.

Any idea how to get rid of all in and out points in the PSD?

Thanks.

Phil
