Saving Custom Layouts
Once you have the windows arranged to your liking, you can save your screen layout
with a relevant title so you can switch back to it later. This makes it easy to set up layouts
that help you perform certain tasks. For example, you might set up one layout that is
good for editing curves, while another layout has an expanded Timeline for editing
keyframes. You can switch between layouts in the Window > Layouts submenu, and you
can delete and duplicate layouts in the Manage Layouts dialog. (Choose Window >
Manage Layouts.)
When you save a layout, you save the following items:
• Window positions (size and location)
• Column orders (in the Project pane)
• Project pane position (left or right)
Note: Tab order, Timeline display options, and Canvas display options are not saved in
the custom layout.
To save a layout
1 Organize the windows on your screen the way you want.
2 Choose Window > Save Current Layout.
The Create Window Layout dialog appears.
3 Type the name you want to use to save the layout, then click Save.
The layout is saved and now appears in the Layouts submenu.
The new layout appears
in the bottom section of
the submenu.
