Getting a Blending Mode is not the issue. I get Blending Mode but seleting Add option does not popup a Solid Settings window as shown in the tutorial (time 6.33). My file video is attached.

You get to the solid settings by selecting the layer and using the Layer menu or the keyboard shortcut Shift + Ctrl/Cmnd + y. The tutorial creator missed that part of the workflow in his explanation. I watched about 5 minutes of the tutorial, and there were several places where the author left out information that would be important to new users. Accessing the layer settings is just one of them.

The Blend Modes drop down is in the timeline. Look for the Switches and Modes Button in the lower left of your timeline. If you don't see the Switches and Modes Button you may need to click one of the 3 icons in the far lower left of the timeline.

You should see the drop down with the modes. Also, having a layer selected and holding down shift and typing + or - on your regular keyboard will cycle through the modes.
