Re: imported photoshop layer only 2 frames long?!

i just re-read your post... i think i have your situation a bit more clear now.

you have a 10 layer psd, you need to import the layers, then sequence them within a comp.

first, decide how long each layer will be and multiply that by the number of layers. so if you wanted each layer to have a duration of 5 frames, then multiply 5 x 10 (the number of layers) to get 50. create a comp that is 50 frames (or what ever you calculated) long.

import your psd as a comp, the comp should come in at that duration that you made the last comp at. open the psd comp, select all layers, position the time cursor at the frame duration you need (5 frames for my example) and hit option-] (mac) alt-] (pc, but double check that) to trim the layers.

once trimmed, with layers still selected, choose animation>keyframe assistant>sequence layers. that should place them end to end and create an image sequence from the layers. if they are in the wrong order, undo, then select the layers in the opposite order than you selected them previously and use the keyframe assistant again...

is that more like the process you were looking for?
