Insert, Delete, Or Duplicate Blank Video Frames (Photoshop Extended); Specify Onion Skin Settings (Photoshop Extended) - Adobe Photoshop CS6 User Manual

Insert, delete, or duplicate blank video frames (Photoshop Extended)

A blank video frame can be added to or removed from a blank video layer. You can also duplicate existing (painted) frames in blank video layers.
1. In the Animation panel, select the blank video layer and then move the current-time indicator to the desired frame.
2. Choose Layer > Video Layers and then choose one of the following:
Insert Blank Frame Inserts a blank video frame in the selected blank video layer at the current time.
Delete Frame Deletes the video frame in the selected blank video layer at the current time.
Duplicate Frame Adds a copy of the video frame at the current time in the selected blank video layer.

Specify onion skin settings (Photoshop Extended)

Onion skin mode displays content drawn on the current frame plus content drawn on the surrounding frames. These additional frames appear at
the opacity you specify to distinguish them from the current frame. Onion skin mode is useful for drawing frame-by-frame animations because it
gives you reference points for stroke positions and other edits.
Onion skin settings specify how previous and later frames appear when Onion Skins are enabled in the Animation panel. (See Animation panel
overview.)
1. Open the Animation panel menu and choose Onion Skin Settings.
2. Specify options for the following:
Onion Skin Count Specifies how many previous and forward frames are displayed. Enter the Frames Before (previous frames) and Frames
After (forward frames) values in the text boxes.
Frame Spacing Specifies the number of frames between the displayed frames. For example, a value of 1 displays consecutive frames, and
a value of 2 displays strokes that are two frames apart.
Max Opacity Sets the percentage of opacity for the frames immediately before and after the current time.
Min Opacity Sets the percentage of opacity for the last frames of the before and after sets of onion-skin frames.
Blend Mode Sets the appearance of the areas where the frames overlap.
