My husband has finally canceled his #Amazon account! 🥰

So I am proud to report that our household is now completely freed from #Microsoft and #Adobe products, and also from Amazon.

And Google? Except for one point, I am now completely abstinent from #Google. This is YouTube. So please forgive me if I stop responding to posts that contain links to #YouTube in the future.

I don't mean that in a bad way, but rather a kind of mental self-defense.

- Importing a file lets the user modify the resulting layer. No link with the original file will be kept. The resulting layer will not be associated with an Asset (external file representation in Friction).
- Linking file allows the user to keep the link with external file : if a modification happens, it will be reflected in Friction once the Asset is reloaded. The resulting layer will not be editable in Friction.

- Select **two Path Layers**
- In the **topbar menu**, in **Path** category, select an operation
- You can use **Union, Difference, Intersection, Exclusion, Division** operations
- You can also **Combine** or **Break Apart** to combine **separate Path Layers into one**, or **break a Path Layer with multiple Paths into separate Layers**

Text 2/2 :

- If the child animation is bigger than the scene canvas, you can use the outside pixels in the parent scene or not by toggling the clip checkbox in the layer properties, acting like a classic video layer or a procedural use of separate animation

Text 1/2 :

This is similar to pre composition or nested composition in after effect

- Create two different scenes (let's call the final one "parent" and the other "child")
- In the parent scene, right click in the viewport and use theLink Scene button
- The child animation is now in the parent scene, and acts as a classic video layer. You can toggle its Visibility Range to move animation in time
