I’ve been trying to figure this out. I have over 100 frames of animation. I designed my character in the middle of the screen area. I realize now that was a mistake. Is there a way to 1. Just move the screan area (the blue rectangle) without moving the character at all or 2. How can I reposition the character at the bottom of the screen area. Beside moving each frame one at a time that is.
Thanks

1- I'm not sure if this is your problem, but you can always move the camera instead the characters.
2- There is an old trick to move layer keyframes all by one, without having to adjust each keyframe. It's using the graph mode.

I tried that but it only moved it a small amount. Like maybe 150 pixels or so.
I appreciate the help anyway.
Thanks
EDIT: Also on your camera idea. I need the entire screen area for what I'm attempting to do. I see what you were getting at though. Again thanks for the help.

Read about graph mode in help, you can reduce the zoom and move the layer in any distance you want.gamester wrote:Thanks for your reply.selgin wrote:1- I'm not sure if this is your problem, but you can always move the camera instead the characters.

That was actually the first thing I tried. I tried 0 first but then frame 1 popped back to the center of the screen (the original position). Then I tried frame 1 but all the rest of the frames moved up back towards the original position.slowtiger wrote:Create a group or bone layer, put all character layers into that, reposition that new top layer in frame #0 or 1.
I may have to just start over again anyway. More practice. I need all I can get :/
Thanks for trying to help. I appreciate it.
