Hello. I downloaded a cool smart object of an Apple iPade moving back and forth and I want to copy and paste the smart object (the iPad) and all its layers as well as the animation of the iPad to a different PSD document I have set up already. In other words, I want to place the moving iPad in a different PSD document. Is there a way to do this?

    Hi filmguy,

    You can Copy and Paste the frames in the animation from the panel menu.

    Thanks. I'll try that. I have another question. I need to scale the size of the iPad down. The iPad has three layers. The actual iPad, the superimposed image of a website on the iPad screen, and a layer that looks like screen reflection. When I scale down all three layers and then push play on the animation timeline, everything is scaled down on the first frame, but then the superimposed website layer goes back to the original size for the rest of the frames while the iPad and reflection layer stay scaled down. How do I get the superimposed website layer to stay scaled down for the entire duration of the animation?

    Are you scaling down the superimposed website layer on the first frame?
