Save a layer setup

Turn a show you built into a starting point for the next one. What a setup keeps is explained in Layer setups.

Before you start

• Open the show whose layers, shots and sources you want to keep.
• Sign in first if you want the setup on every Mac you use; see Sign in. Signed out, it is kept on this Mac, and signing in later adds it to your account.

Step 1: Open Save Layer Setup

Choose File › Save Layer Setup…, or click Save Layer Setup… in Settings › This Mac › Layers and Sources.

Step 2: Name it

Type a name in Name. The sheet says what it keeps: the layers by name, how many shots and how many sources.

• “Standard” and “Blank” are the app’s own; the sheet asks for another name.
• A name you saved before says Replaces the setup “…” saved earlier. and the button reads Replace.

Step 3: Save it

Click Save (or Replace).

Verify

• Settings › This Mac › Layers and Sources lists the setup under Layer Setups, with its layers, shots and sources counted. Rename it there by editing its name, or delete it with its trash button; shows made from it keep their layers.
• File › New Show… offers it under Start From.
