• How do I group layers in after effects?

  To group layers in Adobe After Effects CC, drag the cursor from the empty space in the layer window besides the timeline. To merge the layers into one, simply right click and select 'pre-compose'. You can then choose whether you'd like the effects, masks and other layer properties to remain inside the current composition, or move to the composition being created.

• How do I split layers in after effects?

  Select the layer(s) you would like to cut and press CTRL + SHIFT + D to slice them into two.

• How do I Change the colour of a solid?
