Lesson 13: Advanced Editing Techniques
Changes in the behavior of new layers
Note
In After Effects 12.1 and later, a new layer is placed directly above the currently selected layer in the Timeline panel; if no layer is selected, the layer appears at the top of the stack. In previous versions of After Effects, new layers always appeared at the top of the stack. The following text replaces the first step in the “Adding a lens flare” section, which is on page 346 in the printed book.
Adding a lens flare
1. Deselect all layers, and then press the Home key or move the current-time indicator to the beginning of the time ruler.
