Hi guys! I'm doing this animation in Photoshop and it was going well but as I was working with my keyframes, I noticed that the animation started playing extremely slow. I set the delay time to 0.2 sec, 30 fps and just don't understand what's happening. I also don't understand why the keyframes appear as this type of a bar. Can anyone help? Here is a screen recording

There are some anomalies in your description.

You say you set the delay time to 0.2 secs (which would equate to 5 fps) but delay time is set in a frame animation timeline. Your screenshot video however shows you are using a video timeline so delay time is not relevant. For the video timeline that you just set the overall frame rate.

The preview playback in Photoshop is not real time, although if you let it play through a couple of times until the green bar at the top of the timeline is solid, then preview playback speed will improve. You can also speed up the preview playback by clicking on the cogwheel, at the top left of the timeline panel, and adjusting the preview playback resolution (lower resolution = faster preview playback).

None of that will affect the final render.

Thanks Dave! I thought the delay time affects the video timeline as well as I tend to switch between both.
