![Image: 014282.jpg](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/Resources/Images/014282.jpg)

Use this function to insert empty Frames (i.e. Frames without Keys) at a specific time (**Add From**) in the animation. The subsequent part of the animation will be shifted accordingly.

**Add From**: Empty Frames will be added beginning at this point.

**Add Count**: This is the number of Frames to be entered.

> **Tip:** Tip:A shortcut for the **Add Frames** command can also be defined in the [Command Manager](https://help.maxon.net/c4d/en-us/Content/html/5224.html.md)for quicker access.
