New animation layer

This creates a new layer or folder for animation.

 

Animation folder

Creates a new animation folder on the [Layer] and [Timeline] palettes. Animation folders are folders for storing animation cels (layers).

Layers and layer folders created in an animation folder can be used as cels.

·Animation folders cannot be created inside an existing animation folder. ·If a single letter is set as the name of an animation folder, subsequent folders will automatically be named with the next letter of the alphabet. For example, if you select an animation folder called "A" in the [Layer] palette and create a new animation folder, the new animation folder will be called "B". ·Cels in an animation folder must be specified to the Timeline before they can be drawn on. For information on how to specify cels, see "Edit track". You can also specify a cel to the Timeline at the same time it is created by selecting the [Animation] menu > [New animation cel].

 

2D camera folder

Creates a 2D camera folder on the [Layer] palette and the [Timeline] palette.

You can use 2D camera folders to add camera movement to an animation without transforming the images in the animation folders or layers.

For details on adding camera movement with the 2D camera, see "Keyframe settings".

 

Audio

Creates a new audio layer (audio track) on the [Layer] palette and the [Timeline] palette.

You can use audio layers to add or edit audio files on the [Timeline] palette. In the [Timeline] palette, this is called an “audio track”.

You cannot create an Audio layer if a Timeline has not been created on the canvas.

Creating audio layers

To create an audio layer, select the [Animation] menu > [New animation layer] > [Audio].

The audio layer will be created in the [Layer] and [Timeline] palettes.

However, audio files can not be played in this state. To play audio files, you need to import an audio file. For information on importing audio files, see "Audio".
