Tween images that are in a sequence

Hi I have a series of full frame images in a sequence and I have done the following to get them in the timeline.

Create Frame Animation

Make frames from layer.

I then select the first 2 frames of 10 and selected Tween,

I want to add 5 frames, Layers All and the rest is selected.

It looks like it has worked but also appears to fade to transparent,

What am I doing wrong?

Also is there a quick way or script to add the 5 frames between each actual image?

Thanks

Matt

    Movement between frames that use the same layers in different positions can be done with tweening. But, if the frames use different layers, then you are limited to a dissolve effect not a morph.

    Hi

    If your frames are based on different layers then the "tween" menu item works by inserting frames and creating a "dissolve betwen them i.e. fading out the first frame and fading in the second second.

    Before tween :

    After tween - see the fade between the layers in the timeline:

    However, if your frames are based on the same layer but with the position of the layer moved - then the tween will generate "in between" positions on each frame:

    Before tween

    After Tween (note the frames showing the moving position of the layer in the timeline

    I hope that helps

    Ah so not possible to "morph" the images from one frame to another? They are different images that are similar.
