Need Help: Photoshop CS4 Animation

I can't make animation work in the newer Photoshop -- how do I use an animated source file to make an animated icon?

I have a *.gif file that I want to open, mess around with, and then save as an animation. When I open it with PS CS4, though, it sees only one frame in the animation task bar. I'm sure I'm missing something really obvious.

I'm missing Image Ready. :(

It is totally not you, it's freakin' Adobe! It's such a pain they got rid of Image Ready. :(

I just tried this, which works with CS4 32-bit, but not 64-bit, IDEK.

File --> Import --> Video Frames to Layers. For some reason, you have to have QuickTime installed for this to work. It doesn't show .gif files, but if you put in "*.gif" supposedly a list of gif files appears. This didn't work for me, but when I typed in the file name including .gif it opened okay. Hope that helps!
