You can also switch the arrangement of the windows so the Project pane appears on the
right side of the Canvas.
Note: When the Project pane is on the right side of the Canvas, and you are using a
Multi-Touch trackpad, three-finger swipe in the opposite direction to show and hide the
pane.
To switch the sides of the Canvas and Project panes
µ
Choose Window > Layouts > Swap Project Pane and Canvas.
The Project pane contains three tabs: Layers, Media, and Audio. Each of these tabs allows
you to view the elements of your project in a list view.
Layers Tab
The Layers tab of the Project pane provides an overview of all the layers, effects, and
masks currently used in your project. The hierarchy of items in the list illustrates which
objects are above or below other objects in the Canvas. All objects, with the exception
of cameras and lights, must reside within groups. Masks, behaviors, and effects can be
applied to groups or to individual layers. Applied masks, behaviors, and effects are listed
beneath the group or layer to which they are applied. The masks, behaviors, and effects
appear indented in the list.
The Name and Status columns in the Layers tab display several icons that indicate linked
audio, 2D/3D status, or lock status. By default, applied masks, behaviors, and filters also
appear in the list. You can turn the display of these objects on or off in the Layers tab.
