If I placed some element on the screen, 4 image files for example, and want to animate them in a sequence, frame = to 200, right? It is better to:
1) animate all the images at the same time
2) animate first the image n1, all the steps then return to frame 0 and again animate the image n2, so until the last image(or vector layer ,it is the same)?
I notice that , if I animate the images at the same time the final files had some mistakes.

For istance, I notice this : if I resize an image layer in the frame 200, it began to change size in the frame 100 or so , if I hide a layer in some point of the animation the layer disappear in whole the movie.

Animation happens "between" one keyframe and the next. Frame 0 is an automatic keyframe. So if you resize at frame 200, the resize will happen from frame 0 (automatic "start" keyframe) to frame 200. If you want the animation to happen between frame 200 and frame 220, you must put a "start" keyframe (beginning size - you can copy frame 0) at frame 200 and an "end" keyframe at frame 220 (final new size). If you want instant one-frame size changes, you might want to change the keyframe interpolation to "step" rather than the default smooth.

See this page for a little bit more about keyframe interpolation.

I suspect you are using the little "eyes" in the Layers panel. These are for temporarily hiding a layer while you work (or render), not animating layer visibility.

To animate layer visibility, it is probably easiest to keyframe the Layer Visibility channel in the timeline.

Thanks! Now i'll try our suggestion.
