Bring an asset to the front or send it to the back when elements overlap in the same section.

Layer order controls which assets appear in front when multiple items overlap in the same section.


Steps

  1. Open your project in the editor.

  2. Select the asset whose order you want to change.

  3. Open the asset options or context menu in the timeline.

  4. Choose Send to front or Send to back.

  5. Review the canvas to confirm the new stacking order.


When to use

  • Move text above an image or video

  • Push a background element behind the rest of the section

  • Fix overlaps after adding new media


Tips

  • Layer order matters most when assets overlap visually.

  • If the wrong item is covering your text or subject, change its order before resizing everything.

  • Combine layer changes with positioning and opacity adjustments for finer control.
