Available commands:

  • Delete Cell: clear all pixels stored in the cel.
  • Duplicate Cell: copy the cel content to the next frame.
  • Inherit: toggle inheritance so the cel reuses artwork from the previous frame.

Advanced cell workflows (v1.29.2+)​

  • Move cells: use the Cell Move tool to shift cels efficiently across timeline content.
  • Cross-file paste: cel/layer data can be copied from one sprite and pasted into another.
  • Auto-complete structure: when pasting multiple cels, Resprite can auto-add missing layers to keep alignment.

note

When a cel inherits its predecessor, painting on it modifies the source cel directly.
