Layers

Background Layer

Background layers provide a solid background color to the animation. By default, they are the lowest layer in the timeline but can be reordered like any other layer as well.

There is always exactly one background layer in every timeline. Background layers cannot be duplicated or deleted. You also cannot draw on the background layer with the brush or other tools.

Properties#

Background layers have no transform or blending properties.

Color#

The solid color of the background layer. The background color can be animated using keyframes.

Infinite Background#

Whether the background layer should fill the entire canvas instead of only being as large as the resolution of the current scene or animation clip.

This is particularly useful if you intend on using a camera layer.

Include in Symbols#

Whether the background layer should be visible in a symbol layer that references this clip. This is disabled by default.
