Stacking objects


    LiveMotion stacks each new object that is created, opened, or imported on top of the previous object. The stacking order determines how objects are displayed when they overlap.

    Grouped objects inherit the stacking order of the first object in the group. See Grouping objects. You can change the stacking order of objects in your composition at any time.

To change the stacking order:

  1. Select the object you want to move.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To make an object the frontmost object, choose Object > Arrange > Bring to Front.
    • To make an object the backmost object, choose Object > Arrange > Send to Back.
    • To move an object one level to the front, choose Object > Arrange > Bring Forward.
    • To move an object one level to the back, choose Object > Arrange > Send Backward.
    • To move an object in the Timeline window, click and drag the object to a new position.
    Selected object is at bottom of stack. Bring to Front command moves object to front of stack.
