Understanding Actor Placement--movies, sequences, and sprite tracks

An Electrifier Pro movie can contain an unlimited number of actors.

Some actors, such as sprite tracks and actor sequences, can even contain collections of other actors (although a sprite track cannot be placed in an actor sequence or another sprite track).
