Layers panel question

Post by ChrisH »

Hi,

When I have a file open in moho 13 I can't read all the layers names anymore like in moho 12 before, it makes it difficult for me to see which layers are which! I tried to change all the layer filter settings, but it doesn't change anything, Am I doing something wrong?

Go to the preferences, 'Layers/Objects' tab and activate 'Auto-size Name column'

By the way, I personally prefer to keep only these columns visible:
-Visibility
-Timeline visibility
-Name

All the other tabs are not really necessary, in my opinion. You can right click the eyes to set a color label. You can right click the name to open the Quick settings, the layer icon shows the layer kind and tags are visible when the mouse is over a layer.

Some more tips for optimizing Layer Comps and the Moho UI in general can be found in the video here:

This video was created using Moho Pro 12 but most of these tips apply to Moho 13.

Hope this helps.
