Editing Existing Stroke/Shape Timing

When editing an existing stroke/shape, you can edit the range of frames during which a stroke/shape is visible in the properties Lifetime tab. The lifetime of a stroke/shape/group is also visible in the Life column in the stroke/shape list. By default, a shape is visible on all frames, whereas a stroke is only visible on a single frame, the frame it was painted on.
