I created a blank video layer, then I drew an image in the first frame. I would like to copy this first frame and then paste it into the next frame, into exactly the same spot. But when i copy and paste, the image pastes at a different space in the new frame. How do i get it to exactly duplicate the frame before?

I thought pasting into place is the default. Anyway, I have a few ideas that you can try:

Instead of the typical copy/paste, try copy and then Edit > Paste Special > Paste in Place (Shift + Option + V)
Instead of copy/paste, what happens when you drag your layer in the Layers Panel down to the "Create a New Layer" icon?

If neither of these help, a screenshot, like Peru Bob said, would help more so that we can better understand.

I saw this was moved to the photoshop forum, but I found it here so might as well answer.

In order to paste into a frame on a video layer, that frame must be empty. If you try to copy drawings from a frame to another that already has been drawn into, this action will automatically generate a new normal layer right on that frame; but if you copy and paste into a frame that has nothing drawn on it, it will work just fine (either normal paste or paste in place).

Just make sure to select the whole layer (Ctrl/Cmnd+A) and erase the content of the frame before trying to paste anything on it.

Hope that helps!
