Where do I create a Plane layer [Solved]

ErnestSerrano

I downloaded the new hitfilm 2017 but for some reason I can't find the new plane layer. I'm trying to follow one of your tutorials about lightsabers and when it says create a new plane layer, I can't find the button. I'm loosing my mind.

To create a plane layer you must be in a Composite Shot, not the editing timeline. 

In a Composite Shot, look at the top of your layer stack for a "New Layer" button. This brings up a context menu showing all the layer types you can create, and lists the keyboard shortcuts as well.

You can also create a plane layer from the media panel at any time.  Click the New button. NLE or composite timeline.
