Solo & Unsolo
Soloing and unsoloing a bunch of layers can be tedious and time-consuming. The more layers you have, the more time you need to hunt down that pesky layer that you need to unsolo. Not anymore! You can just easily solo/unsolo layers with a click of a button now. Easy and save your time (and sanity)!
SOLO up & DOWN
(FULL VERSION ONLY)
(FULL VERSION ONLY)
Soloing a layer is easy. But what if you want to see only the next layer? Then it's not so easy anymore. You have to unsolo the current layer and solo that next layer. Repeat that process for another layer and another, and another and it quickly becomes tiring. Use the Solo Up/Down buttons to reduce all those actions to a simple button press!
HIDE/SHOW non solo layers
(FULL VERSION ONLY)
(FULL VERSION ONLY)
Soloing layers is useful for animation. But what is not useful is when you need to keep scrolling up and down to the solo layers if you want to see the properties & keyframes. What if you can hide all the other layers except for the solo layers? Wait. Now you can! Hide and show the other layers at will, just use these buttons.
