    Very much like Photoshop, After Effects items in a compostion are ordered into

    • Layers

    • Groups

    • Timelines

    • Objects

    Correct Answer
    A. Layers
    Explanation
    After Effects, like Photoshop, organizes items in a composition into layers. Layers allow for individual control and manipulation of different elements within the composition. Each layer can contain various objects, such as images, videos, or effects, and can be arranged in a specific order to create the desired visual outcome. By using layers, users can easily manage and modify different elements of their composition separately, providing flexibility and control over the final result.

    The change in an effect over time is controlled by using

    • Keyframes

    • Footage items

    • Groups

    • Stop watches

    Correct Answer
    A. Keyframes
    Explanation
    Keyframes are used to control the change in an effect over time. They allow for precise control of the animation or transformation of an element by specifying specific points in time where a change should occur. By setting keyframes at different intervals, one can create smooth transitions and animations. Keyframes are commonly used in animation software and video editing to control the movement, position, and appearance of objects or effects. They provide a way to define the desired behavior and timing of an effect, making them an essential tool for creating dynamic and visually appealing animations.

Making the text editable enables the user to modify and customize it according to their requirements, such as changing the wording, font style, or color.
