Timeline "Edit Layer Opacity" only does the first layer

Post by UpLighting »

Hey folks!

I have a timeline where my looks have multiple layers and groups. I right click on the timeline and select the "Edit Layer Opacity" option, but it only lets me adjust the opacity of the first layer that I created in that look. I select the layer I want, or move it in the order, but I still can only change the opacity in the first created layer. What gives? Is there a way to select the layer I want to change the opacity in?

This is for a timeline where I want the opacity to vary throughout the playback, not just a static value that I could set in the layer itself.

Thanks for any guidance!

Hello UpLighting,

To change the layer opacity for an effect layer in the Timeline you have to select the desired layer at the "Layer Opacity" section in the Timeline. Once the desired layer was selected you can add the desired layer opacity values at the desired timing.

Under the following link you will find a tutorial which shows it step by step:

If this will not work, please double check you are working with the lates MADRIX version.
