13.11 Adding A New Layer To An Existing Channel

It is possible to add a new "Video", "FX" or "Event" layer to an already existing channel. This is primarily useful during testing to find out how many layers are needed to do the final play out. Once a channel is activated using the activation code, the number of layers will be adjusted automatically.

To add a layer, select the channel (in the "Channel View") to which you would like to add a layer and click on the "Layers & Engines" tab in the configuration area. Click on the "New Layer" button and choose the kind of layer you would like to add. Make sure to assign an engine to the new layer and restart the connected user interfaces to see the new layer there.
