Hey all! As the title suggest, an animation I'm making in photoshop stops working after a certain frame!
I'm using photoshop CC

I've also noticed that it has a 1-500 timer, so the frame it stops at is at the 500 mark

It's also set as a video timeline & not a frame animation!

Any help would me much appreciated, as I'm trying to make an add to make money.

Thank you!!

I would like to say I found away around this!
While I'm not sure how to get around the 500 frame limit while using a video timeline, I was able to work around it by turning it into a frame animation & copy+pasting the separate parts of the animation together

used this video (starts at 3 min) Photoshop - Alternate image sequence import methods / Over 500 frames - YouTube

thank you all for your help!!

Any chance of posting a screen capture of your expanded timeline.

here's the timeline! I couldn't get everything to fit, but "layer 15" is where it keeps ending on the preview.

& here is there 0-500 timer thing. At 500 is where it stops at layer 15!

Make a new video group at the bottom of the stack.  Put a layer in that group, and fill it with black.  This should appear as the lowest clip in your video timeline, but drag it into that position if need be.

You should now be able to drag the end point of that black clip out to any point you need, and the timeline will extend to accommodate it.
