Layers combine media and effects in order. Each layer can have its own visibility, blending, opacity, and mask.
In: Workspace
Select and reorder
Click a row to select it. Drag rows to change their order; use Shift or Cmd/Ctrl to select several layers.
Rename
Double-click the layer name to edit it.
Group layers
Group a selection to organize it. A self-contained group starts from its own transparent canvas instead of the incoming composition.
Blend and fade
Use the Effect Panel footer to change blend mode, opacity, and channel opacity. The eye button enables or disables the layer.
Animate visibility
In Video mode, use the footer function buttons to keyframe visibility, opacity, or blend mode.
Duplicate or remove
Right-click for copy, cut, paste, reset, and delete. Duplicate keeps the original layer.
Shortcut: Cmd/Ctrl + D
Undo and redo
Undo reverses your last edit. Redo restores it. Use the Edit menu or Cmd/Ctrl + Z and Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + Z.
Open documentation
Right-click a layer and choose its documentation entry to open the matching guide.
