Copies ​

Copies repeat an item across the picture. On a video, select the item, open its Animate menu and press the Repeat card; on an image or a document, the Repeat card stands in the Form section at the end of the item's Effects menu. Its Recipe holds the settings listed below — at first only how many copies there are, and the rest once there is more than one. Hover a row of the Recipe, or hold a finger still on it, and it shows what that setting does — the sentence this page lists for it — with Learn more leading to its section here; the value does not change.

The copies stand in a row, in a grid or along the path the item travels, and each one can step, turn, grow, shrink or fade from the one before. On a video, a clip's copies can also play its recent past, each a little behind the last.
