Copying and Pasting Animation

As you animate, you will find that you reuse many positions, drawings, and keys. However, you may only want to paste the drawings or just the keys or maybe everything. There are different paste options available in the Timeline view which give you maximum flexibility when reusing and pasting.

Note that these modes also apply when you drag instead of copying and pasting.

There are three different modes for pasting your selection:

• Paste Mode: All Drawing Attributes: Pastes the drawing exposure and keyframes.
• Paste Mode: Keyframes Only: Pastes only the keyframes.
• Paste Mode: Exposures Only: Pastes only the drawing exposure.
