I gave up trying to do animations in PhotoshopIt's the most soul destroyingly un-intuative process ever, I'd rather bring myself to ogasm using a cheesgrater than make another 10 second looping animation in CS5.

there is so much fucking bugs in iti hate when a layer flies off into the grey part, then you have to turn "show transform tools" on to find it.
and when you have transform tools on and it becomes unselectable, so you have to fucking double click it, then it changes the position on that layer in all the previous frames, GAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know what you mean, It's been a bane of many an animation of mine. However, I'm aware that when on the first frame of the animation to ensure it's unchecked.
And if duplicating any layer then rather than unchecking Propagate Frame:
I first create a new frame on the animation window.
Then I hide the visibility of the layer I'm going to duplicate.
Duplicate that layer.
Then switch on the visibility of the newly created duplicate layer.
That way the new layer only appears in the new frame and not copied throughout all the other frames. That always helps me a lot. But yes Propagate Frame is terrible torture.

Not really intuitive but I've used it from Image Readyso I know my way around it and I don't know of a better GIF animator that gives you so much control over the optimisation. Flash is ok but the optimisation when converting to GIF is a massive pain.
