The same options (among others) are also available as command options and will be explained shortly. However, if used as package options they have global scope, taking effect on all animations in the document. In turn, command options locally override global settings.

In the first example, transparency No. 0 appears in the foreground throughout the animation; it will never be obscured by other transparencies' content. In the second example it is put to the background, because it is the first transparency specification in the file, and stays there for the rest of the animation.
-When designing the timeline, care should be taken not to include a transparency more than once into the \emph{same} animation frame. Besides the useless redundancy, this may slow down the animation speed in the Reader, because the graphical objects of a multiply included transparency have to be rendered unnecessarily often at the same time. `animate' is smart enough to detect multiple inclusion and issues a warning message along with the transparency ID and the frame number if it occurs. Also, `animate' finds and lists transparencies that have never been used in an animation timeline in order to avoid dead code in the final PDF. Here is an example of a poorly designed timeline:

The stack-like concept of animations, where transparencies are always put on top such that they overprint the content of previously deposited transparencies, can be inconvenient in certain situations. For example, it might be desirable to allow for changing the background image in the middle of an animation without affecting objects that are located in the foreground. For this purpose, transparency specifications can be grouped into \emph{layers} using the semicolon (\verb+;+) as a separator instead of the comma. This is best illustrated by an example:
