Note:
1. In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), select one or more frames.
2. Do any of the following:
To edit the content of objects in animation frames, use the Layers panel to modify the layers in the image that affect that frame.
To change the position of an object in an animation frame, select the layer containing the object in the Layers panel and drag it to a new
position.
You can select and change the position of multiple frames. However, if you drag multiple discontiguous frames, the frames are placed
contiguously in the new position.
To reverse the order of animation frames, choose Reverse Frames from the panel menu.
The frames you want to reverse do not have to be contiguous; you can reverse any selected frames.
To delete selected frames, select Delete Frame from the Animation panel menu or click the Delete icon , then click Yes to confirm the
deletion. You can also drag the selected frame onto the Delete icon.
Unifying layer properties in animation frames
The unify buttons (Unify Layer Position, Unify Layer Visibility, and Unify Layer Style) in the Layers panel determine how the changes you make to
attributes in the active animation frame apply to the other frames in the same layer. When a unify button is selected, that attribute is changed in all
the frames in the active layer; when that button is deselected, changes apply to only the active frame.
The Propagate Frame 1 option in the Layers panel also determines how the changes you make to attributes in the first frame will apply to the other
frames in the same layer. When it is selected, you can change an attribute in the first frame, and all subsequent frames in the active layer will
change in relation to the first frame (and preserve the animation you have already created).
Unify layer properties
1. In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), change the attribute to one frame.
2. In the Layers panel, click Unify Layer Position
, Unify Layer Visibility
, or Unify Layer Style
to have the changed attribute apply to all
other frames in the active layer.
Propagate frame 1
1. In the Layers panel, select the Propagate Frame 1 option.
2. In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), change the attribute for the first frame.
The changed attribute is applied (in relation) to all subsequent frames in a layer.
You can also propagate frames by Shift-selecting any consecutive group of frames in the layer and changing an attribute in any of the selected
frames.
