To delete an animation cel specification in Clip Studio Paint, you need to interact directly with the cel on the timeline. This process removes the link to the specific cel layer at that point in your animation, effectively deleting the specification rather than the layer itself.
Here's how to do it:
Steps to Delete an Animation Cel Specification
Follow these simple steps using the timeline:
- Right-click the cel you want to delete on the animation timeline. A popup menu will appear.
- Clear the input field within the popup menu. This field typically shows the name of the cel layer currently specified.
- Press Shift + Enter on your keyboard.
This action removes the specification for that cel from the timeline at that particular frame.
Deleting vs. Splitting the Clip
The action you take after clearing the input field determines the outcome:
- Pressing Shift + Enter: As described above, this deletes the cel specification at that point. The clip on the timeline remains as one continuous segment.
- Pressing Enter: If you clear the input field and press only the Enter key, the software will split a clip at the position where the cel specification was deleted.
Understanding the difference between using Shift + Enter and just Enter after clearing the input field is crucial for managing your animation timeline effectively.
