The following interface components are specific to working with layers for vertical editing. In this example, the clip is made up of three layers with various effects applied. All layers are on track V1.
(a) Layer identifiers (b) Selector icons (c) Focus layer (d) Gap

Layer identifierIndicates the number of the layer and to which track it belongs.
Selector iconSelects a layer.
Focus layerIndicates the layer that has focus. All layers below the focus layer are included in the vertical edit. To change the focus layer, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow to move the focus point.
GapBy default, all gaps are transparent, meaning clips on lower layers become visible in the edit. If you do not want to see through a gap, you can make it opaque. Opaque gaps are a light shade of grey.
Track shadingTo make it easier to identify groups of tracks and layers, the shading of tracks alternates between light and dark grey.
