The scene rail lets you easily navigate and interact with scenes in your composition. You can quickly scroll through all your scenes, rearrange them, copy and paste content, and save scenes as layouts in a Layout pack.
Only visible for video compositions
If you're working in an audio-only composition, the scene rail won't be visible in the editor.
Rearrange scenes
You can change the order of a scene (and all the layers and script media it contains) that appears in your composition from the scene rail.
1. Select a scene.
2. Hold and drag the scene to the new position in the scene rail.
Scene rail actions
You can access a range of actions by right-clicking on a thumbnail in the scene rail.

Markers in the scene rail
When you add markers into your script, they'll be displayed in the scene rail, and you can instantly navigate to those points in your composition by clicking on the marker.
Copy and paste scene layouts
If you've created a scene layout that you would like to reuse in another scene, you can copy and paste the scene layout:
- Find the scene you wish to copy in the scene rail, right-click on its thumbnail, and select Copy.
- Right-click on the thumbnail of the scene you wish to apply the copied layout to, and choose Paste.
When you paste a scene layout into a new scene, any layers that exist in the new scene and share the same names as layers in the copied scene will be updated with the attributes from the copied scene. It's important to note that this won't create duplicate layers. Rather, it will adjust the settings of existing layers to match those in your copied layout.
