Multi-select lets you work with multiple layers at once in the Scene Editor, so you can move, resize, or align them together instead of editing each one individually.

How to select multiple layers

Multi-select is available only in the Scene Editor. At this time, selecting multiple layers cannot be done from the Properties Panel or the Timeline.

• Shift + Click — Add or remove layers from your selection by holding Shift and clicking them in the Scene Editor.
• Click + Drag — Hold and drag to draw a box that selects all layers inside it.

What you can do with multi-select

Basic operations

• Move, resize, delete, or copy/paste layers together.

Edit properties across layers

• The Properties Panel shows only the options shared by the selected layers.
• If values differ across selected layers, the field displays Mixed. Updating it applies the change to all selected layers.
• Changes in size and position fields apply to each layer individually, not to the selection as a whole.

Alignment tools

• Use the alignment buttons in the toolbar to line up selected layers (left, right, center, top, middle, bottom).
• Use distribution options to space layers evenly (horizontally or vertically). At least three layers must be selected to use distribution.
• Alignment applies to all layers in your selection at once.

Limitations

• You can only select layers that are in the same scene.
• Grouping layers and scaling text font size aren’t available yet.
• Text layers don’t scale their font size when resized.
• Snap-to-grid alignment across multiple layers isn’t supported.
