From a script

Every setting above can be changed by the scene's logic, by its key. Say the layer is called Waves:

scene.set("Waves", "colour", "#ff8a5c");scene.animate("Waves", "opacity", 0.5, 2);
What every layer has

Besides its own settings, every layer has its opacity, blend, placement, quick effects and an effects stack. They're listed once, on the layers page.
