Once you have added layers to your composition, you may want to arrange them. You can also have more advanced control over the blending and alpha modes through the Blending Panel in the Property Panel. If you want to change this value, you can right-click on the blending and alpha mode icon on the right of the layer in the Layer Stack and choose a mode from the menu. When you add files that have an alpha channel to your composition, Pdplayer will, by default, set the alpha mode for their layers to Premultiplied Mask. Layers can be grouped together by selecting them and pressing Ctrl + Shift + G or by going to Edit > Assign New Group to Selection. This can either be done by double-clicking on the layer number (the number on the left-hand side of every layer), or by selecting a layer and going to Edit > Select Group. The layers can also be selected by Group ID.

Shift + Click and Ctrl + Click are also supported to select multiple layers. Right-click in Windows Explorer and choose Open With > Pdplayer.Note: If it is an image file, it will be added as a Still Image Layer. Copy/paste a file from Windows Explorer.Double-click on a file in Windows Explorer (if it is associated with Pdplayer already).Holding the Shift key while dragging will place the layer current one in the timeline. Note that if you want to add an image that is a part of a sequence as a Still Image Layer, you should hold the Ctrl key while dragging and dropping it. Drag and drop a file over an open Pdplayer window.Pdplayer recognizes keywords in the path and file name to load the correct sequence, for example the characters left in the filename to indicate the left view, and right for the right view. If you are loading one part of a stereoscopic sequence, you can enable the Add other stereo view option to automatically add the sequence for the other view.Enabling the Position after current layer option will place the layer after the current one in the timeline.If this option is not turned on, Pdplayer will assume the images are not part of a sequence. If you want to add just a single file from a sequence, enable the Add as single image option.Pdplayer will automatically detect if it is a part of a sequence, a single file, or part of a stereoscopic sequence, and create the appropriate layer type. Here you can select an image file and click Open to add it as a layer. Go to File > Add Layer or press Ctrl + L to open the Add Layer dialog.
