Common Workflows

Use these patterns when you want quick wins without rebuilding muscle memory in the app UI.

Organize compositions and layers

Rename every shape layer to Shape_[index in this comp] and move layers starting with CTRL_ to the top
Add "[FINAL] " in front of each locked layer name in this comp

Animate and polish motion

Animate opacity for Box 1 through Box 5 from 0% to 100% over 12 frames, offsetting each layer by 4 frames
Apply easy ease to all position keyframes on the selected layers and report if any were missing keyframes

Build reusable controls

Create a null called Master Controller with a slider named Intensity and link every layer starting with BG_ to that slider for opacity
Make the Glow effect on layer Star grow its Radius from 0 to 100 over the composition duration

Restyle text and effects

Change all text layers in this comp to use Montserrat Bold, size 48
Set Gaussian Blur Blurriness to 15 on every layer in this comp that already has the effect
