Navigating layers
Navigating layers within your project allows you to easily switch between different layers to make adjustments. You can use the Layer Panel to select and highlight specific layers, making it easier to manage complex projects with multiple elements.
Current scene / All scenes
The current scene / all scenes toggle lets you choose whether to apply changes to a layer within a single scene or across all scenes in your project. This feature is useful for maintaining consistency and making bulk adjustments efficiently.
Layer attributes
Adjusting layer attributes allows you to control various properties of a layer, such as its duration, audio level, Size and position, Opacity, and media source selections. These settings help fine-tune how each layer appears and behaves in your composition.
Adjust the layer size, shape, and corner rounding from the Size and position section. The Start at option will adjust the in time/start time of the selected layer within a clip or scene.
Mute or solo a single video or audio layer from the toggles at the top of the panel to the right of the Layer name. Solo a track by selecting and pressing the S icon or button. Additional layer options are available from the menu on the far right.
Layer effects, borders, and animations
