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

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
