Layers help you stay organized while editing your video. Think of them like stacked elements, each image, text box, or avatar sits on its own layer, so you can move or edit one without messing up the others.
This makes it easy to adjust colors, rearrange items, or add effects without starting over. Layers give you more control and keep your project clean and easy to manage.
How to get to the 'Layer' editing tool
Add Media and Elements
Upload media, text, or add visual elements to the main video editor.
The most recently added file will appear at the top or front of the layer stack.
This makes it easy to control which elements appear in front or behind others.
Select Layers
Right-click on any element in the editor to access layer options.
If a layer is at the back and hard to select:

Select the element you want to edit.
Reordering Layers
Select the layer you want to move.
Adjust its position by using the following options:
Send Backward: Move the layer one step behind other layers.
Send to Bottom: Move the layer all the way to the back.
Bring Forward: Move the layer one step in front of others.
Bring to the Front: Move the layer all the way to the front.
Note: Layers positioned forward will cover those behind them.
