What is a Layer?
Layers are, by default, named 1 through 5. Layers determine the order when presenting
images in the Live Broadcast Area. The Bottom layer (5) is drawn first, then the other
layers are added, in order, up to Layer 1. Using multiple layers is a powerful way to show
a company logo, a background, or a title, independent from each other.
Changing Layers
To select a layer, click its LED to turn it on (click it again to turn if off). When a layer is
selected, the selected shot in that layer is displayed in the Preview/Live Broadcast area.
If multiple layers are selected all selected shots are displayed.
Moving a Shot to Another Layer
A shot can be moved to another layer by clicking and dragging the shot from one layer
to another within the Main Shot window. When shots are created, they are assigned to
a specific layer. They exist on that layer until you move them or delete them.
