Displaying Layer and Column Properties

Each element has its own set of properties that you can modify, including effect and peg layers.

If you want to modify an element’s properties, you can display the properties of a selected layer in the Timeline view. If you're working with the Xsheet, you can display its properties as well. You can display a layer's properties as a window or as a view of its own.

The Layer Properties editor allows you to:

  • Rename the layer
  • Enable or disable the layer
  • Lock the layer
  • Change the track colour

The Column Properties editor allows you to:

  • Rename the layer
  • Enable or disable the layer

    • In the Layer Properties view is not part of your workspace, from the top menu, select Windows > Layer Properties. In the Timeline view, select a layer
    • In the Timeline view, double-click on a layer.
    • Press Shift + E.
