The frame is added after the selected frame.
Alternatively, use the Blend Tool to automatically
create "intermediate" stopframes in steps between objects.
To generate a new blank frame:
• Choose Insert Frame from the Frames tab.
Any new frame appears on the Frames tab to the right of existing frames, and
then becomes the current frame. If you use the Frame Manager (right-click a
frame and choose Insert...) you can choose to add frames before/after any
existing frame.
To navigate between frames:
• Click on any visible frame to display its objects on screen (objects can
then be edited).

Click the navigation buttons on the Hintline toolbar to jump to
start/end frame and navigate frame-by-frame.
To rename a frame:
• Right-click a frame and choose Properties.... In the Name field, type
in a new frame name. The new name is shown on the Hintline toolbar.
To change frame sequence:
• Drag the selected frame to a new position in the frame order. When
the dragged frame's thumbnail creates a slightly wider space between
two frames than usual, release the mouse button to place the frame to
be moved.
To delete a selected frame:
• Click Delete Frame from the Frames tab.
