Additional pictures to animation

[csehz]

Hi for everyone, could you please advise is there maybe way in Xara Designer X to paste a picture to all frames?

Basically I have an animation with several frames, now the concept changed that new pictures should be put in it. But currently I could do only one by one copying to each frame.

The first try was maybe add to the picture to a group which is a named object anyway anyway, but as I perceive that puts it only to the first frame.

Thanks,

I would like just maybe attach the structure, so on several frames three groups, and to each group should be added a picture.



All of the groups has the same name on the different frames to complete animation movements, so logically adding a picture to all, I would think that should be spreaded on all frames

thanks,

is that adding a picture to one group per frame, or every group in every frame ?

either way I'm not sure there is a quick way....

Unfortunately it should be to every group in every frame. But finally these groups are just three named ones, just appearing on each frames

someone may know a quick way, but I don't, sorry

always a pain when things get changed after the work is done....

As I estimate currently, probably easiest to create from the beginning so setting up the three name groups with pictures on Frame1, after copyiing this base frame and do again the animation tweenings on each frame.

This seems less work than putting the pictures to each groups on each frame, not being even sure that their position will be always the same.

Summarizing the problem a magic tool would be useful in such scenario which is doing the CTRL - SHIFT - V so Paste in place on all frames But no, it should be more magical because it should be rather on the same place pasted in certain named group.

I suppose you might be able to make use of 'paste position'

but starting again can be clearer in the mind and less fiddly - good luck

I agree with handrawn, I have often either added additional objects or new backgrounds and then copied and paisted in place on each frame in the animation so I understand what you are asking and hope someone has found a way. I would be most interested to know because as far as I know there is no way.
