Back in 2016 a mysterious menu item appeared called “Smart Groups” under the Slideshow > Layer menu item. It was never really explained, and Oliver mentioned that it hadn’t been incorporated into the user guide. I might be wrong – but it still hasn’t!! And that’s been 10 years ago (sigh). I had kinda figured out how to use it, sorta, but apparently it only works with snippets.
So, what the heck is this menu item for? And how is it incorporated?
And, more importantly – I would really like to see a “Group” menu item that allows you to group together two, three, or as many layers as you want, on a single slide. You CAN select multiple layers by swiping over them in the Timeline, but that really doesn’t allow them to be treated as a “group.” And, you can’t select more than one layer at a time on the stage, either. So once you spend a lot of time trying to space things out and putting images in their place independently, there’s no way to move them all at once without losing their respective positions to each other.
