want to move those compositions, are visible.
3 In the Folders list, select the folder containing the imported compositions.
The contents of the folder appear to the right of the Folders list.
4 Select one or more compositions, then drag the compositions to the
destination folder in the Folders list and release. To select multiple

improves import workflow, footage versus composition distinction, and data
extracted from the media.

OpenEXR images can contain an arbitrary number and a combination of
image channels. For example:
■ Red, green, blue, alpha
