Add Background Layer
How about a layer-specific for the background?
Today, if you change the background, it changes for all layers. It would be very useful to have an opaque BG layer and the drawing on separate transparent layers, on top of that.

background layer
Different animation layers
As in, I'm able to have a storyboard or rough animation in the back, as I make a more polished animation on a separate animation layer, if that makes sense?
How to add background/layer without copying all layers?
This is a bit to explain, the title might not explain exactly what’s happening.
I drew a quick 10 frame pony walking animation. Worked great, and I decided to add a background. When I did, I went to copy the background to each layer, as I had turned the opacity down. Instead of only copying the background to the next frame (despite the top animation layer being locked), it copied the entire frame. So it was just one same frame 10 times. I couldn’t get my other 9 frames back, and ended up deleting it since it was ruined and I didn’t want to redo it. It did this the last time I used the app as well. Is this a glitch, or am I doing something wrong?
thank you~

Yes, importing image as background would be nice.
Using a layer as background is problematic, because it does not apply to other frames - just the current one.
Being able to draw backgrounds directly inside FlipaClip would be nice, but being able to import a background image created using another app would do the job as well.
I am trying to change the background for my sons cartoon but only for the current slide. He wants to go from inside the house to outside without having to create a whole new cartoon. Does the whole cartoon have to be only in one set background?

Easiest solution would be t add a new layer on top of the background layer and do that background for that one frame there. If you need it for more frames, there's always the possibility to change background and export the whole animation 2 times and then merge them in any video editing programme later
yeah i like the idea..just like in photoshop theres a backgroud layer..i think you must offer some key framing in background layer so its not hard to move it and copy/paste frame by frame..
The image that can be loaded in the background would be great to change the opacity to use as a reference in the animation.
