Select a Paste method:
Replace Frames
Replaces the selected frames with the copied frames. When you paste frames into the same image,
no new layers are added to the image; the attributes of each existing layer in the destination frames are replaced by
those of each copied layer. When you paste frames between images, new layers are added to the image; however, only
the pasted layers are visible in the destination frames (the existing layers are hidden).
Paste Over Selection
Adds the contents of the pasted frames as new layers in the image. When you paste frames
into the same image, using this option doubles the number of layers in the image. In the destination frames, the newly
pasted layers are visible, and the original layers are hidden. In the nondestination frames, the newly pasted layers are
hidden.
Paste Before Selection or Paste After Selection
Adds the copied frames before or after the destination frame.
When you paste frames between images, new layers are added to the image; however, only the pasted layers are visible
in the new frames (the existing layers are hidden).
6
Select Link Added Layers if you want to link pasted layers in the Layers palette. Use this option when you need to
reposition the pasted layers as a unit.
7
Click OK.
Tweening frames
You use the Tween command to automatically add or modify a series of frames between two existing frames—
varying the layer attributes (position, opacity, or effect parameters) evenly between the new frames to create the
appearance of movement. For example, if you want to fade out a layer, set the opacity of the layer in the starting frame
to 100%; then set the opacity of the same layer in the ending frame to 0%. When you tween between the two frames,
the opacity of the layer is reduced evenly across the new frames.
The term
tweening
is derived from “in betweening,” the traditional animation term used to describe this process.
Tweening significantly reduces the time required to create animation effects such as fading in or fading out, or
moving an element across a frame. You can edit tweened frames individually after you create them.
Using tweening to animate text position
To create frames using tweening
1
To apply tweening to a specific layer, select it in the Layers palette.
2
Select a single frame or multiple contiguous frames.
•
If you select a single frame, you choose whether to tween the frame with the previous frame or the next frame.
•
If you select two contiguous frames, new frames are added between the frames.
•
If you select more than two frames, existing frames between the first and last selected frames are altered by the
tweening operation.
•
If you select the first and last frames in an animation, these frames are treated as contiguous, and tweened frames
are added after the last frame. (This tweening method is useful when the animation is set to loop multiple times.)
