Moving Layers

Moving and re-ordering layers is particularly useful when you have a stack of layers.

Layers arranged in a stack are rendered in bottom up order: layers at the top are composited over layers at the bottom.

Moving/re-ordering a layer can be done in three ways.

Option 1

  • Left-click and drag the layer left or right. You cannot drag the layer up or down. This method can be used to move multiple layers when you have a selection rectangle. Please read the Selecting layers section for more information on selection rectangles.

Option 2

  1. Right-click the layer to open the Layer menu.
  2. Left-click move up or move down.

Option 3

  • Left-click the layer and hold CtrlAltwhilst using the keyboard arrow keys to move the layer up, down, left or right. Moving a layer moves all keyframe events.
