Lock layers to prevent accidental changes to their position, scale or to avoid interfering with other layers while editing. Note that layer locking is done per scene — you’ll need to lock layers individually in each scene where you want them to stay fixed.
Lock a layer
- Right-click the layer in the scene editor.
- Select Lock layer. You won’t be able to move, scale, or edit this layer in the scene editor without unlocking it first.
- Once locked, you’ll see a lock icon next to the layer name in the Layers section of the Properties panel.
Interacting with a locked layer
To modify a locked layer, you must first unlock it. You can select locked layers directly in the scene editor, but you cannot move, scale, or edit them. The Properties panel controls are also disabled for locked selections.
Lock an extended layer
Locking a layer only applies to the current scene. If the layer extends across multiple scenes, you’ll need to lock it in each one or from the Timeline.
- Select the entire extended layer by double-clicking it in the Timeline.
- Lock the layer using
Option + L(Mac) orAlt + L(Windows).
Unlock a layer
You can unlock a layer directly from the scene editor or from the Properties panel.
From the scene editor: Select the locked layer and click the Unlock button in the scene editor.
From the Properties panel:
- Select the scene containing the locked layer.
- In the Properties panel, find the Layers section, then click the lock icon to unlock the layer.
