The Labels panel lists every label colour by name. Use it to colour-code work and to act on all layers of one colour at once. It sits left of the Timeline in the Motion workspace.
A label row
| Control | What it does |
|---|---|
| Swatch | Apply this label to whatever you selected most recently: keyframes, Project items, markers, or otherwise layers. |
| Name | Select the active comp's layers wearing this label. ⇧-click adds to the selection. |
| S | Solo those layers. |
| Eye | Hide or show those layers. |
| Lock | Lock or unlock those layers. |
| Key diamond | Isolate keyframes of this colour: the Timeline and Graph Editor dim the rest. Several labels can be isolated at once. |
Solo, hide and lock are one undo step each.
Below the named labels, In this comp lists colours the comp uses that the preset has no name for, so these actions reach every layer. None clears the label: layers and items go back to their kind colour, keys go back to their layer's label. Clear isolate shows every key again.
