                         WORKING WITH LAYERS


                  Layers are sheets on which you place your drawings,          Layer
                  animations and objects. They allow you to keep the
                  elements of the animation separate. These are similar                         Delete

                  to transparent sheets, stacked one on top of the other.                       Layer
                  The Timeline panel contains all the layers and there is no
                  limitation to the number of layers you can add. The layers
                  can be re-numbered by dragging them up or down, as            Insert
                  required.                                                     Layer               Layers panel

                         USING MASKING


                  Masking in Animate  is used  to  hide  a selected  part and display  content

                  instead on a layer. Masking enables us to control the content that is visible
                  to the audience. In order to create a Spotlight effect, we can create a circular
                  mask and have the audience only view the content within the circular area.
                  This enables the audience to focus on the important content in the project/
                  graphics. Perform the following steps to create a masking effect:
                  Step 1:   Create a new document in Animate CC.

                  Step 2:   Select the Selection Tool from the Tools panel.
                  Step 3:   In the Timeline panel, click on the Frame 100 and then right-click and
                          select the Insert Frame option.                                            Inserting frame
