That is....a very long and round about way of doing it. But very retro, which is cool.

Whoa... You've got some patience there...Photoshop isn't designed to animate. Try something else like flash, or if you don't need to learn something less advanced, swish. Also, did you do "Save As Web" in Photoshop? Just Save As in JPEG doesn't lower the file size a lot. Usually it's even bigger if you did more modification.

For a bouncing ball animation , i prefer using Flash instead of photoshop and premiere ......I agree with MajesticTreeFrog and I think you can do it within 5min where you using Flash .

creative work but little hard.. I wud suggest u to make it in Flash or swish .. IN Flash if u r beginer there are some lessons for beginers... u can read them... that king of animation is realy easy in flash Just try it .. adn swish is more easier then flash but flash got more advanced feature...try to use flash in animation its the best
