Create the Masked layer
The Masked layer is always under the Mask layer.
- Click the New Layer button, or choose Insert > Timeline > Layer.
- Rename the layer fiery effect.
- Drag the fiery effect layer under the Mask layer so that it becomes indented.
- Choose File > Import > Import to Stage, and select fire.jpg from the 05Start folder.
A new layer appears.
The fiery effect layer becomes a Masked layer, paired with the Mask layer above it. Any content in the Masked layer will be masked by the layer above it.
The bitmap image of fire appears on the Stage, and the words appear over the image.
