Changing the color of a solid layer

[pointeandshoot]

If I create a solid layer for a background, then decide I don't like the color I chose, is there a way to change the color without deleting the layer and adding a new one?

Open the solid settings by using the Layer Menu or by selecting the solid in the timeline and pressing Ctrl/Cmnd + Shift + y

The AEs have really intuitive controls, indeed.

So here's the actual answer, where you modify a solid that already exists.

1. Find the solid you want to replace, in your timeline
2. Locate the coresponding asset in your project library (usually under a folder called 'Solids')
3. Left-click and choose 'Replace Footage > Solid'
4. This will brind up the solid editing panel so you can change it however you want.
