# Creating a new layer

By default a new demo doesn't have any layers or effects. To place an effect in the demo you must have at least one layer. Layers are used to group effects and to control visibility of the group. Layers are pretty much the same as directories on your harddisk. New layers will appear at the top of the layer stack, and are located in the same point in time as the Time cursor is at that time. You can change the order of layers if needed.

To create a new layer:

1. Press the right mouse button on the layerlist. Make sure you hit a layer or an empty space.
2. Choose Insert Layer from the popup menu.
