By duplicating elements, you can quickly build up your scene by reusing existing content. You can duplicate all element types.
Unlike cloned elements, duplicated elements are not linked to the original. You can modify one without modifying the other. Also unlike cloned elements, when you duplicate elements, you increase the file size of your animation.
To duplicate elements:
1. In the Timeline window, select the element you want to duplicate.
2. Select Element > Duplicate Element.
A copy of the element appears in the Timeline window. You can modify either the original or duplicate without modifying the other.
