Animate efficiently with label groups

Start your animation project off like a pro using color label groups and group animations.

What you learned

Add color labels

With color labels, you can quickly identify different layers in your composition. You can select multiple layers based on their label and use the search option to find specific colors.

Use keyframe labels

Keyframe labels make adjusting keyframes more efficient by allowing you to change the properties of a keyframe in the group all at one time.

Select label groups faster with custom shortcuts

Create a custom keyboard shortcut to select a specific label color to quickly select and modify multiple layers together.
