Hallo,

first of all, synfig is very nice software, I like to create there! Thank you for it!

Here is what is happening to me:

1. I create new file, then new layers, then new group - which I export as a value in window Parameters/Canvas
2. Then I open the new canvas from the Canvas Browser, and new window appears.
3. The new window does not have keyframeing options. And I just can not figure it out why…

So I can not work separatelly on animations in the opened “sub-canvas”

Please, if you find some time, could you help me, that where could be the problem?  
I would love to use the future of working on animation in “sub-canvas”.

Thank you very much!

Probably the animation length is zero. Please edit the Canvas settings and set the end time further than 0 frames.
