Timeline and Layers
The Timeline panel is one of the most used features in After Effects.
Here, you can add and arrange different layers and create animations. Each layer has basic parameters, which we'll explore in this chapter. A solid layer is a basic color matte that is often used as a simple background in your animation.
In this chapter you've learned:
- Timeline panel and its importance;
- How to add, organize and manage layers;
- Basic controls for effective layer management.
Mentioned shortcuts
1. What is the purpose of the Solo button in the Timeline panel?
2. How can you proportionally resize an image in the Preview panel?
