• Click the Next Frame button to select the next frame of the

sequence.

If the last frame of the sequence was selected, you'll cycle forward to

the first frame.

• Click the Last Frame button to select the last frame of the

sequence.

To select more than one frame:

• To select multiple non-adjacent frames, hold down the Ctrl key when

selecting each one.

• To select a range of adjacent frames, hold down the Shift key and click

the first and last thumbnail in the range.

To speed up the animation process:

• Tweening, short for "in-betweening", automatically creates a

chosen number of frames between the currently selected frame and the

previous or next frame. This gives a smoother transition of your

animation during playback and saves you time.

• Set the number of new frames to be created between the next and

previous frames.

• Apply the tweening to just the currently selected layer or all layers.

• Set which frame attributes are to be tweened—choose Position,

Opacity and/or Effects. Position lets you distribute frame objects

evenly between next and previous frames (great for creating motion

quickly).

• To clone multiple frames, select (see above) then click the New Frame

button. To clone all frames, right-click the tab and choose Select All

then clone.

• Use Reverse Frames on the right-click menu to reverse the order of a

series of selected frames. For example, for bouncing ball animations,

create the animated ball as if it were being dropped, use the above

"clone all frame" technique on all frames, then reverse the newly
