Not sure if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. I'm making tiny animations in Photoshop, (72dpi greyscale 10cm x 10cm, approx 2 seconds length, filesize around 22k). I then export from Photoshop at the default setting, Quicktime in .mov format.
I then import this into AE (where I already have 2 huge .mov files, over 250Mb, playing, which were rendered out of AE and imported back in - these are playing back without any problems or issues.) The tiny imported animations slow down AE to the point of rendering it totally useless, spinning wheel of doom etc. Does anyone have a clue why this is happening? I have a very fast system and AE can cope with many multi-layered huge files without any issues, but this particular problem just freezes AE up almost completely.
Using latest version of AE and PS CS5 extended. (maybe I should be using the latest version of PS too, I just haven't got round to installing it yet).

thanks
