Symbols & variant layers
Reuse artwork across a project with symbols, and switch a layer between ready-made poses with variant layers.
Symbols
Turn any artwork into a reusable symbol and place it as many times as you need. Edit the symbol once and every instance updates, which keeps repeated elements consistent.
Variant layers
A variant layer holds several drawings and switches between them on one layer — swap mouth shapes for fast lip-sync, or flip between hand poses without juggling separate layers.
Drive a variant layer from the timeline to key mouth or hand poses frame by frame, just like traditional cell animation.
