I am a high school animation student and im new to adobe animate, the application was working just fine but I selected a new frame to adjust an object and whenever I move the object it glitches and the adjustment shows up on the previous frame. Is there a setting I accidently turned on? I even made a new seperate layer but this issues still occurs.

I am back in my animation class and I'm not sure what was happening last class but the issue seems to have fixed itself and my Adobe is working again!! Thank you to those who offered advice and tried to help me I truly appreciate it!!

Hi.

Also make sure that you don't have the Edit Multiple Frames feature turned on by accident.

And that you have a keyframe set for where/when the playhead is positioned. Maybe the closest keyframe for that layer is set for the previous frame.

Thank you for taking the time to respond, since I am a highschool student and experienced this problem in class(my teacher was not present today to help me) I have moved onto my next period and will not be able to check if this was the issue until Thursday. However, I did turn on the onion skin prior to adjusting the layer I was working on so there's a high possibilty I turned the edit multiple layer feature on! I appreciate you pointing this out as I was unaware this feature was even a thing, let alone how to turn it on.

if editing multiple frames were enabled, all the selected keyframes would change, not just the previous keyframe(s)

you created a new keyframe and you're trying to do something to an object in that keyframe?

no, I already have 144 frames inserted as my assignment instructed, when I edit an existing keyframe(in this case im animating an eyebrow raising) the edit I make goes to the previous frame and my current frame doesn't change. It's like im animating backwards and it started happening out of nowhere.

you have to be more careful. there's a big difference between keyframes and frames.

if you really mean you're editing frames and not keyframes, what you're seeing is expected.
