I need help (photoshop animation)

When animating in Photoshop with brushes, I use the timeline.'

When I try to "tween" while animating, I can't seem to rotate the object in tweening, I can only move it.

I can't rotate the animation around a singular point when I need to

If I go to "Transform" or "Free Transform", the object moves as I want it to.

But when I press start to watch the animation, the object doesn't move when I use key frames

This is a super specific question, and I don't think anyone can answer it.

    First turn it into a Smart Object.

    Then apply your key-framing and transformations/rotations.

    I also have this problem. If I duplicate a frame, I can move the object in frame, but can't transform: rotate. If I move it first, then I can rotate, BUT the rotation applies to the previous frame as well. IOW, I can't get rotate to work in PS frame animation.

    Anyone know if this is a bug that I should report, or user error?

    I may be wrong but I don't think you can tween the rotation using the frame animation. You can with the video timeline, so may be do the animation in the video timeline instead and export it to GIF?
