Asset Manager

Asset Manager keeps assets consistent across all animations in your project. Import once, use everywhere. All animations in your project can access the same assets and resources, making it simple to maintain brand consistency and reduce file size.

What Asset Manager Supports:

•Scenes - Multiple animations in one project
•Images - PNG and JPG files shared across animations
•Fonts (.ttf) - Coming soon when text support launches

Asset Organization

Organize and manage imported assets.

Layer-Based Management

Assets are managed through the layer system. View assets in Outliner panel, organize using layer hierarchy, and use precompositions for reusable components.

Asset Organization:

•Name layers descriptively
•Group related assets
•Use precompositions for reusable elements
•Delete unused assets to reduce file size

Naming Assets

Rename Layers: Double-click layer name in Outliner, or select layer and press Enter. Type new name and press Enter to confirm.
