HI I am really sorry for being a pain. Im new to animation and anime studio pro. I usually feel I learn quicker by giving myself a project so am trying to do a little cartoon for my grandsons birthday. After a few initial problems i think im nearly there. I do have a few questions about my attempt. I am trying to get my avatar to read a book, with turning pages periodically. I havnt yet completed the audio so dont know when to put the page turns in. I have created a little basic animation of a book turning on another doc but want to know if i have to create an action of some sort to stop the page turn after one turn so i can then copy those frames to another point somewhere else in the timeline.

please help

Many thanks

I wouldn't bother with actions for such a task. I'd animate the turn, starting from a still position and ending on that same position again. Then I'd copy the keys from this and paste them where needed.
