Layer

One element in a composition: a shape, text, image, video, audio clip, camera, light, null or nested composition, with its own transform and time span.

In Premation

The Layers panel on the left rail and the timeline are two views of the same stack. Layer kinds are colour-coded by the same hues in both.
