Adding layers to frames

When you create a new layer, it is visible in all frames of an animation. To hide a layer in a specific frame, select the frame in the Animation palette, and then hide the desired layer in the Layers palette.

You can use the Create Layer for Each New Frame option to automatically add a new layer to the image every time you create a frame. The new layer is visible in the new frame but hidden in other frames. Using this options saves time when you are creating an animation that requires you to add a new visual element to each frame.

To add a new layer every time you create a frame:

Choose Create Layer for Each New Frame from the Animation palette menu. A check mark indicates that the option is turned on.
