Extend still images

When you create a background for animation, a still image might 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 manually extend a still image through multiple frames, or to use a shortcut, create an image in the first keyframe of the sequence and do one of the following:
  • Select a frame to the right, marking the end of the span of frames to add and select Insert > Timeline > Frame.

  • Alt‑drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Macintosh) the keyframe to the right. This creates a span of new frames with a keyframe at the end point.
