Adding to the Timeline Layer List
You can drag an image from the File Browser or Media tab into the Timeline Layer list,
which lets you add the new object to an existing layer, replace an existing object, or
create a new layer.
To add an object to an existing layer:
1 Drag an object from the File Browser, Library, or Media tab, and position the pointer
over the Layer list.
• If you position the pointer over a Layer, the track is highlighted with a black border.
• If you position the pointer between object tracks within a layer, the position indicator
appears.
2 Release the mouse button to add the object to the layer.
The new object is placed on top of other existing objects in the layer, or in between the
objects where you dragged it.
To replace an object in an existing layer:
1 Drag an object from the File Browser, Library, or Media tab, and position the pointer
over the object that you want to replace.
A black highlight box appears around the object.
2 Release the mouse button.
The new object replaces the old one.
To create a new layer on top of existing layers:
1 Drag an object from the File Browser, Library, or Media tab into the Timeline Layer list,
at the upper edge of the top layer, and keep the mouse button pressed until a position
indicator appears.
