Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 171)

Each cloned item is copied and named “Clone Layer,” “Clone Layer 1,” and so on. When
you clone a layer, the cloned layer is placed in its original group. When you clone a
group, a new group is created that contains the clone. Cloned items are identified in
the Layers tab with an icon for a cloned layer and an icon for a cloned group.
