Duplicate, Delete, Repeat an Animation Frame

Duplicate, Delete, Repeat an Animation Frame

 

You can duplicate, delete, repeat animation frames in the timeline, or the frame viewer. 

In Timeline 

Tap on each frame and select the duplicate, delete, or repeat a frame. 

In Frame Viewer

Select one or more frames. You can see a row of buttons at the bottom of the interface.

Frame viewer: buttons from left to right- Duplicate, Repeat, Export, Tag, Delete

 

Duplicate: You can duplicate the frames and edit them individually. When you duplicate frames in row (eg. Frame A1, B1, C1), the app generates the same sequences of frames following the original ones. That means you get a sequence like A1, B1, C1, A2, B2, C2. It’s useful for creating animation loops.

Repeat: When you want the motion to remain longer or slower, you can repeat the frames. It’s a helpful technique to control time and movement.

Delete: When a frame is deleted, it’s deleted permanently. Please make sure that you don’t delete the wrong frames.

    Hi, when I’m in frame manager and select a frame to delete or copy it’s using different frames to the ones I’m selecting. I have 4 frames that were imported as PSDs from Procreate and then there is a black frame which was the background (in Procreate)but shows up as an independent frame. When I try to delete it a different frame is deleted instead. Any advice? Cheers

    Hello Tom, the structure of the background layer is different from the drawing layers. I have reported this to the team. Would be great if you can help us out perhaps with a screen recording clip. Thank you so much.

    Hi, here’s a quick video. It’s a bit hard to see because the differences in the frames are small but I think once it copied the correct frame and the other times it’s a different one [you can see by the eyes] and it also deletes different frames to what I select. Hope this helps explain.

    Hello Tom, thank you for your video, it's very helpful. Is the drawing on the background layer? Thank you very much for helping us out.
