Creating Animation > Extending still images
Extending still imagesWhen you create a background for animation, it's often necessary to make a still image span several frames. Adding 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, at the end of the span 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 the keyframe to the right. This creates a new span, but without a new keyframe at the end point. |
