Extending still images
When you create a background for animation, it's often necessary that a still image remain the same for several frames. Adding a span of new frames (not keyframes) to a layer extends the contents of the last keyframe in all the new frames.
To extend a still image through multiple frames:
1 |
Create an image in the first keyframe of the sequence. |
2 |
Select a frame to the right, marking the end of the span of frames that you want to add. |
3 |
Choose Insert > Frame. |
To use a shortcut to extend still images:
1 |
Create an image in the first keyframe. |
2 |
Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) the keyframe to the right. This creates a span of new frames, but without a new keyframe at the end point. |
