Clone Layer
Create a live copy of another layer in your composition. The Clone Layer displays the visual content of the source layer at its own position, allowing you to reuse layer content multiple times without duplicating the layer hierarchy.
The clone updates in real-time as the source layer changes, including animations, interactions, and dynamic content. You can apply independent transforms, opacity, and effects to the clone without affecting the source layer.
Useful for creating repeated elements, reflections, picture-in-picture effects, or displaying the same content in multiple locations. A caveat: The Clone layer must exist before its source layer in the layer hierarchy..

- Anchor
The anchor point to position the layer relative to. See Coordinates for more information.
- Size
The size of the layer.
- Opacity
The opacity of the layer.
- Scale
The scale of the layer.
- Rotation
The rotation of the layer. Use Point 3D to set X or Y rotations.

- Layer
The source layer to clone. The clone displays a live copy of the source layer’s visual content.
- Shadow Color
The color of the shadow.
- Shadow Opacity
The opacity of the shadow. By default, the opacity is 0, which disables the shadow.
- Shadow Radius
The blur radius of the shadow.
- Shadow Offset
