All of the remaining elements, except for the last, must undergo the same color transform effect as you created in Step 3. Rather than duplicating your efforts, you can just clone the Color Transform element and attach the other elements to it.
When you clone a Color Transform element, all of the information stored in the effect are duplicated so that you do not have to re-create keyframes or their values. If you update any one clone with new values, Toon Boom Studio will update all the other clones with the new values.
To clone the color transform effect follow these steps:
1. In the Timeline window, select the Color Transform-skateColor2 element.
2. Select Element > Clone Element. Toon Boom Studio creates a new element and names it Color Transform-skateColor2(1) and renames the original element Color Transform-skateColor2(0). The new element appears at the top of the element list in the Timeline window.
3. Attach the new element to the SkatePeg2 element and attach the sk_4 element to the Color Transform-skateColor2(1) element.
4. Drag the trackbar of the color transform element so its start/end frame matches the element you want it to transform.
5. Repeat the previous steps for the elements sk_4 to sk_7. Make sure that as you attach the skater elements to the Color Transform elements that you maintain their layer order in the element list.
When you are done, your Timeline window should look like this.
6. Select Play > Play to play back the rough animation.
You just have to create the effect for the last element in the series and the effect will be complete!
7. Select File > Save to save your animation set.
