Okay, now we have a bunch of tweens… but, you’ll notice that the layers palette looks a bit strange…
There is only one layer and maybe layer(s) labeled frame 1 and frame 2…

The Next Step:
In the animation palette, select ALL the frames
In the Layer Palette Delete Frame 1 and Frame 2 (In the layers palette ONLY)
and
turn off the eyeball for the background layer (click it) This will decouple the background from the animation…

Your canvas, animation palette and layers palette should look like this

Step 2

Flatten Frames into Layers
It’s in the Animation Palette Menu:
Flatten Frames into Layers

Now your layers palette should have a layer that corresponds to a frame…

Step 3
Now we can make changes in each Frame Layer to make our animated object do something different…

In this example the changes  I make to the tennis ball will make the ball rotate and change rotation direction when it bounces

This is  what I did…

1. Select Frame one and select Layer 1
2. Menu: Edit > Transform > Rotate
3. In the Option Bar changed the rotation from 0 to 10 degrees

4. Click the Check Mark in the option bar

Step 4
1. Select Frame two and select Layer 2
2. Menu: Edit > Transform > Rotate
3. In the Option Bar changed the rotation from 10 to 20 degrees
4. Click the Check Mark in the option bar

Step 5
Repeat but make the 10 degree change…

—

Step 30 (depends on how many frames you have)
Repeat make the change

This is fun, eh!

Because I decoupled the background, I can now easily change the background to anything I want…

Step 31
Turn on the background and
Save your animation

Play it

Now you can animate anything!…

Let’s see your results!
