290 Chapter 4 Using the Timeline
To move an object from one layer to another existing layer:
1 Drag the object icon in the Timeline Layer list over another layer.
A black border highlights the layer.
2 Release the mouse button.
The object moves into the selected layer and is placed above any existing objects
within that layer.
You can also drag an object to a specific place in the new layer by dragging it in
between existing tracks in the new layer. Motion’s layers are “spring-loaded,” which
means that when they are collapsed, dragging an object onto them causes them to
temporarily expand, just like folders in the Finder.
To drop an object inside a collapsed layer:
1 Drag the object onto the collapsed layer in the Layer list.
2 Position the pointer over the name of the layer until the layer springs open.
3 Release the mouse button when the object is at the desired location within the layer.
