LAYERS


                 A layer refers to the various levels on which our drawings, animations and objects are placed.
                 Layers  are transparent  sheets, arranged  one  on top of another  in which each  layer  contains
                 some graphics and effects. Adobe Animate provides us with various layers. Some of them are
                 discussed here.

                 1.   Normal layer: All the objects placed on the normal layer appear in the movie. Most of the
                   artwork contained in an Adobe Animate file is created on the normal layer.

                 2.   Guide layer: The objects placed on the guide layer do not appear in the movie as this layer is
                    used for making reference points and alignment purposes.

                 3.   Mask layer: A mask layer hides the layers linked to it. It contains objects that are used as
                    masks to hide a selected portion of layers below them.


                 CREATING A LAYER

                 When we create a new layer, it appears above the selected
                 layer and becomes the active layer. To create a new layer,
                 click on the New Layer button.

                 By default, the name of the first layer is set as Layer 1.































                 ‘Or’ You can also create a new layer by clicking on:
                 Insert tab Timeline option New Layer

                 RENAMING A LAYER

                 To rename a layer, double-click on the layer's name and type a new name and press the Enter key.
