There’s the Duplicate
layer, but it’s very complicated to place things exactly where you want them. It’s a method IMHO that can be used when duplicating many times.
I was wondering if it would be possible to clone a layer or a group and place it anywhere on canvas, like a shadow clone, that can be moved anywhere simply by dragging its green position handle.
My idea is to have an option like Duplicate Layer
:
that keeps also animation in sync.
For example, there could be an option under Duplicate Layer
called Clone Layer
that allows the user to change arbitrarily position or time offset.
I know this stuff gets tricky because almost any parameter can be animated, but sometimes a simpler approach is needed for quick animations or motion graphics.
Let me know what you think about it or if something similar already exists!
