Compositing

Layers

Organize, transform, parent, time, and render composition layers.

Updated June 21, 2026

Layers

Layers are ordered visual or control elements inside a composition.

Layer types

Oraphim supports media, solid, text, shape, brush, camera, light, and nested composition layers. Available controls adapt to the selected layer type.

Core controls

Every compatible layer exposes visibility, locking, timing, blend mode, transforms, opacity, parenting, masks, and effects. A 3D-enabled layer also exposes depth-aware transforms and material controls where supported.

Ordering

Higher layers render over lower layers unless a blend, matte, mask, or 3D scene relationship changes the result.

Parenting

Parenting lets one layer inherit motion from another. Child values remain editable relative to the parent.

Timing

Drag a layer bar to change when it appears. Trim its ends to change its active duration without altering the source asset.
