Multi-select: Move, Resize, and Align Layers Together

When several layers need the same change, select them together in the Scene Editor and move, resize, or align them in one go.

​

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.
