Positioning layers in 3D space
- [Instructor] Now, once you've enabled 3D for a specific layer in a composition, you'll no doubt want to position that layer in 3D space. Now, as we go through this video, I'm going to give you my tips as to the best way to manipulate these layers in 3D space so you don't get lost when you start building your compositions that contain tons and tons of 3D layers. All right, so as we're looking at our project here, in the timeline you'll notice I have five layers, and four out of those five layers have 3D enabled. Now, just because I like to keep things visually organized, I'm going to go ahead and change the label color for the 3D layers. This is something you don't have to do, this is just something I like to do. So I'll click on layer one, hold down Shift, and click on layer four, then I'll go to the labels here and I'll choose a nice green color for those layers. All right, now go ahead and press P on your keyboard to open the position parameter for all of those selected layers…
