By default, you can animate a drawing layer using the same parameters as a peg, but you can choose not to do so by turning off this feature. This allows you to switch your drawing layers so they can no longer be animated without a peg, which has certain advantages. In cut-out animation, it's easier to separate drawing exposure and keyframes to change the timing and rearrange keyframe position in the Timeline view. This also works for backward compatibility when bringing in templates created in older versions of Harmony so as not to lose their offset keyframes or drawing substitution keyframes.
How to disable animation on a drawing layer
- In the Timeline view, double-click the layer on which you want to set the parameter.
The Layer Properties editor opens.
- In the Controls tab, deselect the Animate Using Animation Tools option.
