hi in this video I'm going to show you
0:03
on how you can select an element behind
0:05
another element in Ana if you have a
0:08
really complex design with a lot of
0:11
different elements and some of them
0:12
might be overlapping another then it can
0:16
be very challenging to select that
0:18
element that was hidden or blocked
0:20
behind the other bigger element that was
0:23
positioned on top of it so uh
0:25
fortunately there are two methods you
0:27
can mitigate the issu so let me show you
0:31
how Okay first I'm going to insert some
0:33
objects it could be any object could be
0:36
uh any image it will work on video
0:38
shapes vector graphics Etc I'm going to
0:41
insert some elements just to show you on
0:44
how you can select them even though they
0:46
might be positioned at the back of the
0:49
other object so I'm going to insert this
0:51
triangle Circle and square now I'm going
0:56
to change the color let's say the
0:57
triangle is going to be red the circle
1:00
is going to be green and the square is
1:03
going to be blue and let's say I'm going
1:06
to put this element they're basically
1:09
blocking one another so as you can see I
1:13
cannot click on the triangle nor I can
1:16
click on the on the circle I can only
1:20
click or select the square now uh one
1:23
way to click the other elements that was
1:26
that was hidden is you can press and
1:29
hold the control key on the keyboard if
1:32
you are using Mac then it's going to be
1:34
the command key and after that you can
1:37
click on the element on this square and
1:40
you will see the color change it means
1:43
that we are clicking or we are selecting
1:45
a different object now and do it again
1:47
you can see the color change now we're
1:49
selecting the triangle we can click
1:52
again it was the background but now we
1:55
are uh circling back to the square and
1:58
then we go to to Circle and then
2:01
eventually triangle so that's one way to
2:03
do that but probably this is not very
2:05
easy because we cannot see what is being
2:08
click although it's very useful but I
2:10
still don't think it was intuitive for a
2:13
lot of people and that's why I do
2:14
recommend to use a different approach so
2:17
what you can do is you can click
2:19
position and you will see on the layers
2:22
app here you will see different objects
2:25
you can click on every single one of
2:27
them and basically it's going to make it
2:29
easier to move an object that was
2:32
located behind another object I do
2:34
recommend this layers option because you
2:36
can see the visual CU about the object
2:39
that is being clicked or being selected
2:42
but anyway that's exactly how you can
2:45
click an object behind another object in
