To open Clip Layer attribute contextual menu
- Right-click the Clip Layer attributes of a Time Editor Clip Layer in the Roster.
Note: Clip Layers have two different contextual menus, depending on whether you right-click the Layer track in the Roster side of the Time Editor or the Time View area.
Note: The Time Editor does not support Animation Layers. Instead, use the Time Editor Clip Layers to alter animation on existing clips. You cannot drive animation with
both Animation Layers and Clip Layers as this will create conflicts.

Node Editor, which lets you drive layer attribute inputs using a custom Dependency Graph (DG) network. To do this, select this option, open the
Node Editor and press
F to locate the Roster node.
Attention: Be careful not to accidentally click in empty areas of the Node editor or Time Editor before pressing the input and output connections button or the node is deselected.
