Creating frames

Animated GIF files are made up of a series of individual frames (like movie film). You can create more frames to build more complex animated GIF files.

Note that you can only create frames in Animation Documents, not Drawing Documents - see Drawing and Animation Documents for more details.

To create a frame

1. From the Utilities menu, choose Frame Gallery.

2. Click the New button in the gallery.

Tips

The new frame become the last frame in the animation and is shown at the top of the Frame Gallery. It is also highlighted to show it is the current frame. All objects are created in the current frame.

You can also click the New Frame button on the Animation Control Bar.
