Keyframe Control
This will be used for adding anchor points. It works pretty much the same way as bookmarks. (The Buttons are just under the timeline.)

+ Add an Anchor Point
- Delete an Anchor Point

The other two will jump back to the previous anchor point and the next anchor point respectively.

Layer Toggles
These will disable layers from being shown. So if you didn't want to see the passing scene (That is always on top of the fail scene in editor), the turn that off and enjoy the fail scene. This is useful when you want to see commands for different objects but something is in the way

All the toggles are as shown
Background
Failing
Passing
Foreground
Hitobjects (Automatically disabled)

Transformation
These are the commands used for your object. Only 4 of the commands have been put in. Move, Scale, Fade and Rotate, leaving Vectorising, Colour, Loop and Parameters left to put in..

Move
This command tells your object where to go and when to go.
Create an anchor point at when you want it to start moving, go to when you want it to stop moving, and move the object to it's destination. Don't move it while moving forward (Time) because it will make the path look wonky..

Scale
This command tells your object to change size.
Dragging up will increase the object's size, whereas dragging down will decrease it's size.
Gradually increasing/decreasing in size works the same way as the Move Command. (Add Anchor Start and End, change the command at the end one)

Fade
This command tells your object when to fade in/out.
Dragging up will make the object visible, and dragging down will make your chosen object invisible.
Gradually fading in/out works the same way as the Move Command.

Rotate
This command tells your object to rotate a certain number of "Radians" (Not Degrees).
Dragging up will make the object rotate clockwise, and dragging down will make the object rotate anti-clockwise.
Rotating gradually works the same way as the Move Command.

Tweening
(Taken from Peppy)
You have Two Keyframes, Do you want to animate between them? If so, turn on Tweening. If not, then turn it off.

Easing
I'll explain what these do..

Easing In
This makes the command start off slow, then gradually becomes faster as the command finishes. So..

Move Easing In
This will make the object move from it's starting point to it's destination slowly, then it gradually becomes quicker until it reaches it's destination.

Easing Out
This makes the command start off quick, then become slower as the command finishes. So..

Move Easing Out
This will make the object move from it's starting point to it's destination quickly, then it gradually becomes slower until it reaches it's destination.

Origin
This will basicly change where the Object Changes Scale from or Rotate from.

Top Left Corner Origin will cause the object to become larger from the top left corner as well as rotate around the top left corner.
Centre Origin will cause the object to become larger from the middle as well as rotate around the middle.

Diff. Specific
Short for Difficulty Specific. This will make all the storyboarding you've done so far save to the .osu file instead of the .osb file.
Osb files are used so that you won't have to copy+paste all the code into each difficulty of your map. .osu codes can be used to make each of them slightly different from eachother if you use an osb.

How do I change a certain Layer for a Certain Object?
Click on the object you want to change layer, then click on the layer you wish to change it to. You can also drag, but isn't clicking easier?

Layer Priority

On the right-hand side of the editor is the four main layers: Background, Failing, Passing, and Foreground. Objects that you grab from the Sprite Library are defaulted to Foreground and placed to the bottom of the list.

The original four main layers (+ HitObjects) are prioritized as increasing priority, from the top of the list to the bottom. This means that HitObjects always appear on top of the Foreground, the Foreground appears on top of Passing, and so on. This will apply to "sublayers" also. Inside the list of layers, the last object in the list will be at the top, in the field.

Therefore, any new object you put in from the Sprite Library will immediately become first priority (expect HitObjects, of course). You may change priorities by dragging them around the list, or quickly switch layers by clicking on the object name, then the layer, like m980 mentioned.

Does anyone know of a tool to separate Animated GIF's into all separate frames? I Understand how to import animations, I tried it out with the slider ball from the template skin. I was just wondering if you guys know of a tool that can separte an animation into lets say 10 different frames and rename them to Image_01, Image_02, Image_03 and so on.

If there is such tool, please inform me.
