How do I duplicate a layer and move an entire moving item and its frames around?

Problems adding a new continuous layer to animation

hi, domi. this is happening because with shift + click you only select those two frames or cels. in default theme you should see only frame 1 and 30 being darker than the others. what you need to do is either: a) drag and select all cels in layer (all frame numbers will get darker) and copy that, b) just click on layer and copy that. it will paste the whole layer with all its content, or c) select and duplicate current layer (most likely it has ctrl+d shortcut)
