Inserting Templates in a Project
There are several ways you can insert templates in your project.
| • | Inserting a Template in the Stage View |
| • | Inserting a Template in the Thumbnails View |
| • | Inserting a Template in the Timeline View |
| • | Opening a Template as a Folder |
Inserting a Template in the Stage View
You can insert layers and panel templates into the Stage view.
To insert a template in the Stage view:
- In the Thumbnails view, select the panel in which you want to insert the template.
- In the Library view, select the template you want to insert.
- Drag the selected template to the Stage view.
| ‣ | If you drag a template of an entire panel into a selected panel, it will add all the content of the template into the existing selected panel. |
Inserting a Template in the Thumbnails View
You can insert layers and panel templates into the Thumbnails view.
To insert a template in the Thumbnails view:
- In the Thumbnails view, select the panel in which you want to insert the template.
- In the Library view, select the template you want to insert.
- Drag the selected template to the selected panel in the Thumbnails view.
Inserting a Template in the Timeline View
You can insert layers, panel, and sound clip templates into the Timeline view.
To insert a template in the Timeline view:
- In the Timeline view, select the panel in which you want to insert the template.
- In the Library view, select the template you want to insert.
- Drag the selected template to the selected panel in the Timeline view.
| ‣ | If you are inserting a sound clip template, drag the template into a sound layer in the Timeline view. |
Opening a Template as a Folder
Since a template is like a scene, you can open the template’s folder and select elements inside it, such as specific drawings.
You may only want to import a few drawing layers instead of inserting the entire contents of a template. In this case, use the Open As Folder command to insert the items you want.
To open a template as a folder:
- In the Library view, select the template to open.
- Right-click the selection and select Open As Folder.
- In the Library list, explore the template’s folder to display its content.
