Layer remove() method
a p p.p ro j e c t . i t e m ( i n d e x ) . l ay e r ( i n d e x ) .remove()
Description
This method deletes the specified layer from the composition.
Parameters
None.
Layer selectedProperties attribute
a p p.p ro j e c t . i t e m ( i n d e x ) . l ay e r ( i n d e x ) . s e l e c te d Pro p e r t i e s

Layer setParentWithJump() method
a p p.p ro j e c t . i t e m ( i n d e x ) . l ay e r ( i n d e x ) .setParentWithJump(newParent)
Description
The Layer setParentWithJump() method establishes newParent as the parent of this layer.
This method does not change the transform values of the child layer, and as a result, there may be an apparent
jump in the rotation, translation, or scale of the child layer.
If you do not want the child layer to jump, set the parent attribute directly (as in "childLayer.parent =
newParent;"). When you set the parent attribute directly, an offset will be calculated and set in the child layer's
transform fields, which will prevent the jump from occurring.
Parameters
newParent
Returns
None.
Layer shy attribute
a p p.p ro j e c t . i t e m ( i n d e x ) . l ay e r ( i n d e x ) .shy
Description
The Layer shy attribute is true if the layer is shy, and therefore will be hidden in the Layer window if the compo-
sition's hide all shy layers is toggled on.
Type
Boolean; read/write.
