Help (noob questions)

Hello.
I just started using Anime studio so im not really familiar with it.
I have a questions about animation:

1. How do I make it so that at one point an image appears in the center without it moving to the center slowly while the animation is playing? Its outside of the view.
2. Can I make a character fade out?
3.Can I select two layers at the same time?

-thanks

1. Right click over the keyframe and change interpolation to step.
2. Change layer settings opacity.
3. No

3.Can I select two layers at the same time?

no, but you can put together into a group layer. it's not the best way, but works.

2. Change layer settings opacity.

I put in a keyframe in the Layer Opacity Channel line
and in there I put in the layer's opacity to 0 but it still doesnt work

Opacity 0 is invisible. If you want to see the layer make the opacity 100. If you want to fade in a layer, start with opacity 0 at some frame, and then a number of frames later set the opacity to 100.

"Opacity" (actually transparency) display is a setting in the Display Quality options (the menu item at the bottom right of the project window). If Show Transparency is turned off then it won't be displayed. (it is confusing that is called "Opacity" in one place and "Transparency" in another).

Opacity or transparency of image layers doesn't display in preview or edit mode, only vector layers. The only way to see the transparency of an image layer is to render.
