Using Flowchart View to make changes


    You can make some changes to your project from within the Flowchart View window. You can delete elements by selecting them and pressing Delete. If the selected element is a footage item or composition, it is deleted from the project and no longer appears in the Timeline and Project windows. If the selected element is a layer, it is deleted from the composition in which it appears.

    You can change other properties of a selected element by right-clicking (Windows) or Control-clicking (Mac OS) the icon to the left of the name in the element tile. The icons have various appearances, depending on the element type, such as layers (layers icon), compositions (compositions), audio footage (audio footage), and so forth. For example, you can use the icon context menu to work with masks and effects or to change switches, apply transformations, and adjust quality.

    Note: When you change element properties in Flowchart View, be careful to click the icon in the tile, not the name of the element. The context menu associated with the element icon is different from the one that opens from the element name.
