Creating layers and layer folders

When you create a new layer or folder, it appears above the selected layer. A newly added layer becomes the active layer.

To create a layer, do one of the following:

Click the Insert Layer button at the bottom of the Timeline.
Select Insert > Timeline > Layer.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a layer name in the Timeline and select Insert Layer from the context menu.

To create a layer folder, do one of the following:

Select a layer or folder in the Timeline, then select Insert > Timeline > Layer Folder.
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) a layer name in the Timeline, then select Insert Folder from the context menu.
The new folder appears above the layer or folder you selected.
