why are my layers props and objects now?

Since this is the second time it has happened to you, hopefully now you have a backup.

You may be the only person who has experienced this very rare issue twice.

When you posted 9 months ago about the same problem I would have looked into your file to see if I could restore it, but at the time you did not answer, and now, unfortunately, I don’t have the time to do it.

If you want to try to fix the file yourself, switch off Advanced Layers, save it under a new name, delete all ‘prop’ layers and try to unpack the content of the ‘obj’ layers.

Here is how you can do the unpacking:

1. Create a blank new layer above the ‘obj’ layer you will unpack.

2. On frame 1 of the main timeline, drag the first keyframe of that layer to the blank new layer to move it there.

3. Right-click on the little Transformation point at the top left of the stage and choose “Break Apart Symbol to Layers”

4. Remove the original layer.

Do this with all ‘obj’ layers.
