When creating a background for animation, it's often necessary to make a still image span several frames. Adding new frames (not keyframes) to a layer duplicates the contents of the last keyframe in all the new frames.
To extend a still image through multiple frames:
1 | Create an image in the first keyframe of the sequence. |
2 | Select a frame as many frames to the right as you want to add. |
3 | Choose Insert > Frame.

To use a shortcut to extend still images:
1 | Create an image in the first keyframe. |
2 | Control-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Macintosh) the frame to the right for as many frames as you need. Each time you drag to the right, a keyframe is added at the end of the new frames. |
