How copy/paste layers with frame animations?

[robertnzana]

I have a movie clip (mc1) with 6 layers (under 1 mask) and some tweens. (It's
just a continuous transition of pictures.)

I have another movie clip (mc2) that is the same layout (different layers.)

I want to combine the 2 into 1 movie clip. I tried to select all layers and
copy from 1 and paste to the other, but it doesn't paste correctly.

How can I do this? It seems like it would be easy.

Thanks

Select all the frames you like to copy , right click "copy frames" or CTRL ALT C,
then open the place you like to paste them in and use right click "paste frames" or CTRL ALT V

There is no way. You have to remember that each of these instances will have different
center point so option like this, especially while moving frames not the individual
content itself, wouldn't be of much use, or not very accurate. Unless of course, both
clips from beginning were made in the exact position so the center point will be the same
but then, there would be no need for Paste In Place because with same center point, it will
position your content precisely . Edit Multiple frames is you best bet.
