Layer Styles: similar to Photoshop
Pre-compose (Layer pull-down menu) Group layers together to create new composition
- Allows multiple layers to be treated as one
Align Panel = Aligns any asset selected in composition
Rectangle tool = Click and drag on a selected layer to create Mask
- Mask 1 = Add (default) = reveals part of layer
- = Subtract = removes the selected part of the layer
- Inverted check box = inverts shape drawn with shape tool
Masks can be adjusted and animated with key frames
- Mask Path
- Mask Feather

Layers as Masks = movie fills text instead of color (Mask is the Top layer)
