Modifying a Movie
Frames can be added to, or deleted from, a movie. You can also erase the contents of a frame while leaving the frame in the movie. These changes cannot be undone, so it's best that you create your animation in segments and combine them when you are finished.
Adding Frames to a Movie
You can add frames at any time to your movie. Frames can be added at the end or beginning of a movie or between any frame in the stack. You can also repeat the last frame at the end of the stack.
To add frames to a movie
- Choose Movie menu > Add Frames.
A dialog prompts you to enter the number of frames to add and choose where to insert them.
- Click Before or After and enter a frame number as reference.
For example, to add 6 blank frames before frame 10, enter 6 in the Add box, click Before, and enter 10 in the frame number box. To add frames before frame 1, click At start of movie. To add frames after the last frame, click At end of movie.
- When you've set the number and selected the insertion point, click OK.
To repeat the last frame
- Select the last frame in the movie.
- Choose Movie menu > Clear New Frames to disable this option.
The check mark beside the Clear New Frames menu item is removed.
- Click the Step Forward button
on the Frame Stacks palette.
- You can add blank frames at the end of a movie with Step Forward by enabling Movie menu > Clear New Frames.
Deleting Frames from a Movie
When you delete frames, the frames are removed from the movie and subsequent frames are renumbered as necessary.
To delete frames from a movie
- Choose Movie menu > Delete Frames.
- In the Delete Frames dialog box, enter the range of frames you wish to delete.
Erasing Frame Contents
Erasing clears the image to the paper color. The frames themselves remain in the movie.
