Hi hulf2012, FreeTime layer has been introduced in dev builds of end of March All the new features/bug fixes are listed in the articles of the updates. About its use, I have to admit I didn’t investigate :blush:

Hi! The new Free Time Layer is a nice way to reuse parts of an animation and or play them at different speeds. In this simple example I have an animation of a circle that takes 48 frames to move from left to right. I reused the same animation 3 times and played it at a faster speed, a slower speed …
