Multiple frames problem

I did use multiple frames, and you can always see the previous frames after the playback is done and when you're on the last frame.

You're pressing Insert Keyframe (F6) instead of Insert Blank Keyframe (F7).

And for future reference, descriptive thread titles are good. "Help meeeeeee" is not a good thread title. It is a super annoying thread title.

As others have mentioned, if you hit F6 to convert an existing frame that already has artwork, then you are essentially creating a duplicate of that artwork in the next key frame. So now you are simply drawing on top of a drawing for every keyframe. Turn on Onionskin and use F7 to insert BLANK keyframes in the subsequent frames.

    There could be several reasons for this but in general, when you want the previous drawings to not be seen in the next frame, you need to 1st create a bank frame after the current frame and then draw in the new frame and so on.
