Add Layer — All 17 Options

Detailed guide to every Add Layer button and what it creates.

1

Text

Adds a text layer to the canvas. Click to add, then use the Inspector panel on the right to edit the text content, font, size, color, alignment, and shadow. Drag on the canvas to reposition.

2

Arabic

Adds a right-to-left text layer optimized for Arabic, Hebrew, or Persian text. Uses appropriate font rendering and text direction.

3

Emoji

Opens an emoji picker. Select any emoji to add it as a resizable sticker on the canvas. Great for social media content and fun videos.

4

Icon

Adds a vector icon to the canvas. Choose from built-in icon sets. Resize and recolor using the Inspector panel.

5

Line

Adds a straight line to the canvas. Drag the endpoints to change angle and length. Adjust thickness and color in the Inspector.

6

Divider

Adds a decorative horizontal divider line. Useful for separating sections in presentation-style videos.

7

Image

Opens a file picker to upload an image (JPG, PNG, WebP, SVG). The image is placed on the canvas and timeline. Drag to reposition, use handles to resize.

8

GIF

Upload an animated GIF file. It plays as a looping animation on the canvas. Adjust playback speed and position in the Inspector.

9

Video

Upload a video file (MP4, WebM, MOV). The video is added to the timeline with its full duration. Trim by dragging clip edges on the timeline.

10

Overlay

Adds an overlay layer — a semi-transparent effect that sits on top of other layers. Useful for color washes, light effects, or texture overlays.

11

Shape

Adds a geometric shape (rectangle, circle, triangle, star, etc.) to the canvas. Resize, recolor, and adjust opacity in the Inspector.

12

Number Shapes

Adds stylized number stickers — large decorative numbers useful for countdowns, top-10 lists, or chapter markers.

13

Roll

Adds a scrolling roll effect — text or content that scrolls vertically like credits. Configure speed and direction in the Inspector.

14

Beat

Adds a beat-synced layer that pulses or animates in time with detected beats in the audio track. Great for music videos.

15

Sequence

Adds a timed sequence of clips that play one after another. Configure timing and transitions between sequence items.

16

Lower Thirds

Adds a lower-third name tag — the graphic overlay used in news and interviews to show a person's name and title. Customize text, colors, and animation.

17

Brush

Enters Brush Extract mode. Use the brush to paint a mask that isolates subjects from the background. Choose from 6 nib styles, adjust feather and opacity, and optionally invert the selection.

In Brush mode, the right sidebar changes to show Brush Controls with size, feather, opacity, nib style, and invert options.
