When I change certain attributes of a track, they don’t seem to have any effect.
Â
Because effect parameters override track parameters, you may be trying to adjust a
parameter that is being overridden. Disable the effects associated with that track to
see whether the attributes become active again. If so, the solution is to change the
effect parameters.
I can’t select an element or character.
Â
Make sure that Lock Position is not selected in the Layout menu. When you add a
texture or background movie, it is locked by default.
Â
Also, you may be clicking an element that uses the entire Canvas. Try zooming out to
view beyond the edge of the Canvas to reveal its bounding box.
Â
Consider the layer order, too, when you want to select an element on the Canvas. If
one element gets in the way of selecting another, use the Timeline to select the track
underneath, and highlight glyphs in one of the text-entry boxes in the Inspector.
I keep accidentally selecting the texture, image, or movie I created on a track

Â
Choose Layout > Lock Position to prevent the element from being selected.
When I have a lot of elements in the Canvas, everything slows down.
