Hi,
Till now I didn't realise that I don't have to copy the whole picture into
every frame, I can simply keep the "static" part as a background, and animate
only the changing object (for example, some letters). This way the final file
will be much smaller in size.
I right-click on the selection and choose Animate Selection, but then I don't
know how to arrange the animated selection and the background static picture to
achieve the desireble result.
Please advise.
Andy

Seeing your PNG file would take a lot of the guesswork out of this, but
basically:

Put the static elements on one layer and choose to share that layer to
frames.

Either add your animation elements to separate frames or read up on
using animation symbols.

You can check out this list of tutorials as well, and/or post a link to
your PNG file so we can be more detailed in our advice.

Jim,
thank you for your reply.
I don't think I can post my work here, it is a banner for an adult company.
But I think I fount what I need to clear - How do I share the static layer to
frames? What should I click?
Thank you,
Anna

Go to the Layer options icon (upper right of layers panel), click it and
choose Share layer to frames
