How can I animate on 2s?

I use Toon Boom Harmony Essentials ver.15.0.5, and I was wondering if anyone knows how to animate on 2s.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your help.

To be more specific, I’m doing hand drawn animation.

I’m wondering if there’s a way to make it animate on 2’s for the Drawings. As in a frame of drawing would take up 2 cells at a time.

To have the frames automatically exposed on 2s while you draw you can go to the Xsheet view and click on the three horizontal lines on the top left corner, then select Exposure > Hold Exposure > Hold 2 Cells.

Some, maybe most people(?) prefer to not have it automatic because you might adjust the timings not always on 2s. For instance, 1, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1. In any case you can always select a range of drawings on the timeline, right-click, Exposure > Set Exposure to… (or by using the Set Exposure icon; if you don’t have it, right-click on the Timeline and select Customise).
