Hi,

does anybody know how to loop small frame by frame animation?

For example: i import 5 images of a birds flight, animate them frame by frame, but i can´t loop that about 15 frames long thing.
I´ve tried to use actions, but it didn´t really work. Maybe it doesn´t work with imported images? what am i doing wrong?
Thanks for help!

Drag all your images into a switch-layer
and choose different images at different frames.
(either control-click the switch-layer and choose
or select the switch-layer in the toolbar and choose
from the active-child in the sub-layer at the top of your viewport.

When you are done, control-click the last keyframe
and from the popup menu choose cycle... select absolute and click ok.

If you move your bird across with the translate tool, do the same with the last keyframe
(you might use a group-layer for that).
The same applies for bones or any other keyframe creation-tool you might use.

Cheers
