Lesson 1.4: Explore the Channel Box and Layer Editor
When an object is selected, its keyable attributes (or channels) appear within the Channel Box, shown in Figure
1-21, to the right of the interface. Each attribute has a value associated with it. These values are often numbers,
but they can be a state like on or off, or a color. You can change these values by selecting the channel’s value,
entering a different value, and pressing the Enter key.
Tip
Use the two double-arrow buttons underneath the Layer Editor to widen or
shrink the Channel Box and the Layer Editor.
