Place each frame of the animation in a layer named 'frame'. Each of these layers should have the same number of paths, and each path should have the same number of points as the corresponding path in other layers. The animation is applied to the paths in the first layer in the sequence, so the properties of that layer are used. Animations with different numbers of frames can be put into different sequences, named 'sequence', using sub-groups: Layers: not_animated_layer1 sequence frame path1a path2a frame path1b path2b frame path1c path2c frame path1d path2d sequence frame frame frame use layer named exactly 'frame' and groups named exactly 'sequence', not, eg, frame1 frame2 frame3 !
