Need help: Layer order

[lburger]

Hi all,

I'm starting a project after not working with Anime Studio for a bit, and I can't seem to figure this one out...

How do you control "layer order" other than dragging them? I can't seem to find a keyframe editor, and it's driving me crazy. I've got an existing project where the layers were dragged into different orders at different times int he Layers panel, and I want to be able to clear all of that and set them all once.

Different characters are jumping in front of each other randomly and I need to fix that.

Thanks a bunch for the time and help.

layer order keyframes are always on the parent of the layers you have move. you must select the bone or group layer and then the keyframes will appear in timeline.

Oh, I see that. So looks like things can get tricky if you have multiple folders/parents within each other. I do, it will be interesting.

Thanks so much for the help. Really appreciate it.

If your not into labeling every layer, make sure you at least label your bone or group layers. When my layers start to get large in numbers, I find I wast more time trying to find the right layer.

hello all ... I managed to set keys on layer order.. but every time i change the layer order on a specific frame,, it changes on all other frames.. how do i fix that?

If you change on frame 0, it changes everywhere - that's like building.

If you change on some other frame, it stays that way on all following frames until you change something else.

I found it "enable animated layer order" in the depth sort tab..
