I’m working on an animated character in pixel art but when I try to move an object on the working layer it repeat the offset also into the next frame doing a messy animation.. I’ve already tried with the timeline panel options without success. There’s a fix for that?

    Are your object pixel or shape? If you have pixel

    , you have to create a new layer for each frame from Timeline Menu. In that case they will be not linked.

      Could you accidentally have pressed the shift-key when moving the Layer? 

      To make sure: What exactly do you mean by »object« – a Layer of its own or part of a Layer?

        Could you please post screenshots with the pertinent Panels (Toolbar, Layers, Timeline, Options Bar, …) visible? 

        Did you just move or do another transformation?

        Just move, and unselect “position” on Match Layer across frames.
