Animation Window

I am trying to colourise a video, so I open the animation window, open a colour layer, and colour the scene. When I drag the 'Current Time Indicator', the video moves, but the colour layer (naturally) doesn't. What I do is shorten the green line on the animation window for the colour layer, duplicate the layer, re-position it on the animation window, and so on for all the frames.

What I would like to know is, is there an easier way to do this? Is there anyway I can do this without using so many layers, or edit the one colour layer, and have changes on one frame, but not on the other, with the same layer being used? Any help would be appreciated.

(PS, I am using CS5)

Hmm, I think it's much easier to do what you want to in Adobe After Effects, I'm pretty sure that it's made for such things as you want to :)

I think the photoshop tool is especially for gifs and really short animations, I've never really toyed around with it at all, so I'm afraid I don't know how to help you with your problem :( Perhaps if I saw a picture of how your project looks in photoshop, I could get a better idea of what to do! :)
