useful if you wish to copy a selection area over multiple frames so that it
selects the same area each time.

Duplicating changes over frames
The Cut and Copy are useful for duplicating changes from one frame to
another. Often, however, you will want to duplicate changes over several
frames, even over several seconds. To do this, Video Paint provides the
Duplicate commands which work by duplicating your last edits. To
duplicate your edits to a new frame, first select the frame containing the
edits from the Filmstrip panel and then click either the Edit: Duplicate
Last Floating Selection [
CTRL
+
K
] or Duplicate Last Paint Layer
[
CTRL
+
L
]. Duplicate Last Floating Selection places a copy of the last
active floating selection, while Duplicate Last Paint Layer copies every-
thing present in the last active paint layer.
To duplicate an action over several frames, you need to perform a power
duplication. Power duplication is much more flexible than the other
Duplicate commands as it allows you to not only specify how many
frames to duplicate over, but also the transparency for each duplication
and whether or not to add an effect to each duplicated portion. You can
also choose different start and end positions to have the duplicated por-
tions move over the entire sequence.
To perform a Power Duplication:
1.
If not already selected, select the frame in the Filmstrip Panel with the
edits you want to duplicate.
2.
Click Edit: Power Duplicate to open the Power Duplicate dialog box.
