Project Pane
The Project pane, located between the File Browser, Library, or Inspector and the Canvas,
contains three lists, each of which provides access to a different aspect of your project:
• Layers list: Displays the hierarchy of objects (groups, layers, cameras, lights, behaviors,
filters, and so on) in your project.
• Media list: Shows the files imported into your project.
• Audio list: Provides access to, and control of, audio files in your project.
More than simple lists of items in a project, these panes let you organize key attributes
of a motion graphics composition, including the stacking order of image layers, audio
settings, and source media settings.
