The movie you insert must have the same frame size (width and height) as the current
movie. You’ll get better results if the movie you insert is designed for the same frame
rate as the current movie. You can insert a movie before or after a specific frame, at the
start of a movie, or at the end of a movie.
To add frames to a movie
1 Choose Movie menu > Add Frames.
2 In the Add Frames dialog box, type the number of frames in the Add box.
3 Enable an option for frame placement.
For example, to add six blank frames before frame 10, type 6 in the Add box,
enable the Before option, and type 10 in the Frame box.
To repeat the last frame
1 On the Frame Stacks palette, click the Fast Forward button .
2 Choose Movie menu > Clear New Frames to disable this command.
The check mark beside the Clear New Frames command is removed.
3 Click the Step Forward button on the Frame Stacks palette.
You can add blank frames at the end of a movie with the Step Forward button
when the Clear New Frames command is enabled.
To insert a movie
1 Choose Movie menu > Insert Movie.
2 In the Insert Movie dialog box, choose where to insert the movie, and click OK.
3 In the Select Movie dialog box, locate the movie you want to insert, and click
Open.
The movie you insert must have the same frame size (width and height) as the
current movie. You’ll get better results if the movie you insert is designed for
the same frame rate as the current movie.
