Layers after applying the Lift Work Area command
Extract work area (Photoshop Extended)
To delete portions of video and automatically remove the time gap, use the Extract Work Area command. The remaining content is copied to new
video layers.
1. Select the layers you want to edit.
2. In the Animation panel, set the work area to specify the duration of the video or animation that you want to omit.
3. From the Animation panel menu, choose Extract Work Area.
Split video layers (Photoshop Extended)
A video layer can be split into two new video layers at the frame you specify.
1. Select a video layer in the Animation panel.
2. Move the current-time indicator to the time or frame number where you want to split the video layer.
3. Click the panel menu icon
The selected video layer is duplicated and appears immediately above the original in the Animation panel. The original layer is trimmed from
the start to the current time, and the duplicate layer is trimmed from the end to the current time.

Group layers in a video or animation (Photoshop Extended)
As you add more layers to your video or animation, you might want to organize them into a hierarchy. One of the easiest ways is to group the
layers. Photoshop preserves the frames in your video or animation in grouped layers.
You can also group a group of layers. Besides nesting your layers in a more complex hierarchy, grouping a group of layers lets you simultaneously
animate the opacity of all the grouped layers. The Animation panel displays a group of grouped layers with a common opacity layer property.
Grouping video layers in Photoshop is similar to precomposing in Adobe After Effects.
