Drawing over a png sequence

Hello hello! I'm making a little personal animation. The rough is animated in flash and have exported a png sequence and I'd like to finish the frames in photoshop. I can import the frame sequence, but I don't know how to draw on top of it. Whenever I make a new layer and draw something, it stays that way through the whole footage. How can I make keyframes so I can eventually export them back as a new video/png sequence (which i'll put into after effects)?

I hope this made sense.

Thanks

With a png sequence you would normally make a Frame animation not a video animation. Video animations have keyframes. Frame animation do not have keyframes they have a sequence of frames that are made from layers or composites of layers,

Okay, so how to I import an image sequence in a way that I can edit the frames? Whenever I import an image sequence, it turns it into a video and only shows the first frame when I convert it

Open the image sequence for a Video Timeline Or Loade Files into a stacj and Create a Frame animation.

On Windows I open Photoshop the use menu File>Open>Select first Image check Image Sequence and click Open for a Video timeline.

Or menu File>Scriprs>Load Files into a stack. Create a Frane Animation Fileline and make Frames from layers.
