How do I create keyframes and then drag them to proper frame Topic is solved

[BruceM]

I'm guessing this may be a dumb question, but here it is: After I've drawn my key frames, one after the other, and then drag them each to be at the frame numbers that I want them to be at (to allow for inbetweens), when I then do the inbetweens, the prior key drawing is also appearing on the inbetween drawing.
I've figured out that I can right click and then click on "insert images" to allow me to add blank instances after the key, but is there a simple way to drag the key frames along the timeline, leaving empty instances between, rather than using the right click menu to do it?

Thanks!

If auto-break is on, just go to the frame you want to inbetween and hit "backspace". This will delete the frame you're on.

Sorry Slowtiger, but I'm not understanding that. Perhaps I can reword my confusing question: If I draw my keys, one frame after the other, so that I have a sequence of keys that are all positioned next to each other along the timeline - is there a way that I can then drag them each to positions along the timeline that leaves the number of empty frames between them that I want to then fill with inbetweens?

Ah. You want to extend the exposures first. Read that part in the manual to get familiar with the concept.

This part of the manual, to be precise :
http://www.tvpaint.com/doc/tvp11/index. ... side-layer" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

By the way, I realize it should be explained with a video or a gif rather than a bunch of images.

Thanks Slowtiger and Elodie for your responses! Elodie, I will focus on that part of the manual to see if I can grasp that method a little better. Thank you!
