You can merge frames in Clip Studio Paint by using the Combine Frames function. Here's how:
Steps to Merge Frames:
- Select the frames you want to merge. You can do this by clicking on the frames in the timeline or by using the selection tool.
- Go to the Animation menu. You can find this at the top of the Clip Studio Paint window.
- Select "Combine Frames". This will open a dialog box where you can choose how you want to merge the frames.
- Choose your merge method. You can choose to:
- Combine all frames into a single frame: This will create a new frame that contains all of the content from the selected frames.
- Combine selected frames into a single frame: This will create a new frame that contains the content from the selected frames.
- Combine frames into multiple frames: This will create multiple new frames, each containing the content from a group of selected frames.
- Click "OK". This will merge the frames according to your chosen method.
Practical Insights:
- Combine Frames is useful for creating smooth transitions between animations or for combining multiple frames into a single frame for editing.
- You can also use the Combine Frames function to create a new animation from a selection of frames.
- If you want to combine frames from different animation layers, you can use the Combine Frames function to create a new animation layer that contains all of the combined frames.
Example:
Let's say you have an animation of a character walking. You want to create a smooth transition between two frames where the character's foot is lifted. You can use the Combine Frames function to create a new frame that blends the two frames together.
