shape effect transform- how?

I experienced a new feature in anime studio
In Edit> preferences window I unchecked " Enable drawing tools only on frame 0'
Then i drew many lines with freehand tool In every frame .
Then a new term with icon appeared in time line named "Shape effect transform"
With that option i think i could create some frame by frame animation ( only with lines)

Please give some more details regarding "Shape effect transform"
can this option can enhance frame by frame animation creation..?

I think i could convey my thoughts

Shape effect transforms refers the shapes "effects" being changed in the timeline (probably other things as well like fill color, stroke color etc).

Shape Effects like "shading, halo, drop shadow" etc.

Whenever you draw with "auto fill" on frames past frame 0 Anime Studio will create key frames for ALL of the shape elements including the fill and effects as well as the point translation. You are creating new vectors AND shapes on those frames. Since those are new "shapes" that weren't created on frame 0 they have keys on the frames they were created on.

The best way to do what you are trying to do, would be to use the draw tools and turn OFF auto fill and auto stroke. Draw only the vectors on frames above frame 0. When done you can go to frame 0 and create the fill and stroke shapes.
