When trying to add a layer or add a null layer, i go up to the layer option in after effects and try and click the "layer" option, but for some reason i dont get any option to add anything. nothing pops up, and even trying to change the graph type of my graph. i constanly click to try and change the graph type but the the panel is not coming up. even trying to easy ease my keyframes. i can highlight my keyframes but i cant right click on my keyframes to easy ease them. im stuck to using presets and it really annoying. if anyone has got a answer please tell me.

 

i use after effects 2021 or after effects 2023 but both dont work.

You must have a Composition in the Projet Panel and the Comp must be open in a timeline. The Comp Panel or the Timeline Panel must be selected before you try to add anything with the Layer menu or the keyboard shortcuts.
