Copy an animation layer

There are two ways to copy animation layers. You can copy an animation layer to create a duplicate layer with the same objects and attributes, or you can copy a layer to create a duplicate with the same objects, attributes, and animation.

To copy an animation layer with its animation

1. Select the animation layer you want to copy.
2. Do one of the following:
   • -click and select Copy Layer from the pop-up menu.
   • Select Layers > Copy Layer from the Animation Layer Editor menu bar.

   A duplicate layer that contains the same objects, attributes, and animation is created and placed below the selected layer in the stack.

To copy an animation layer without its animation

1. Select the animation layer you want to copy.
2. Do one of the following:
   • -click and select Copy Layer (No Animation) from the pop-up menu.
   • Select Layers > Copy Layer (No Animation).

   A duplicate layer that contains the same objects and attributes (but no animation) is created and placed below the selected layer in the stack.
