Property Panel Overview
The Property Panel is where you adjust the appearance, transform, and behavior of scenes and layers in Lottie Creator. The panel updates automatically depending on whether you select the scene, a layer, or a shape inside a layer.

What the Property Panel Shows
The panel adapts based on selection:
| Selection | Property Panel Shows |
| Scene (nothing selected) | Canvas size, duration, background color, FPS |
| Layer selected | Transform, alignment, blend modes, opacity, masking |
| Shape inside a layer | Fill, stroke, gradients, path options, trim path |
This context-aware approach keeps the interface clean and makes commonly used settings easy to access.
How to Access Properties
- •Click the canvas (empty area) → Scene properties
- •Click a layer in the Outliner → Layer transform & appearance
- •Click a shape inside a shape layer → Shape-specific fill/stroke settings
The Property Panel always reflects exactly what you have selected.
