Crop Frames to Key
Occasionally you may wish to load a series of images with cropping disabled
via the preferences menu and subsequently crop them to their key. When you
select the Crop Frames to Key option from the Key menu, the image is
automatically cropped according to the key garbage level set on the
Animation Builder Preferences
screen. The Clip Frames on loading option
in the Animation Builder Preferences screen must not be selected if you want
to crop an image to its key after you have loaded it.
