Definitely found some new tips I didn't know about before, holding spacebar to drag around elements in a frame is super useful because I always feel frustrated when they leave the frame and I have to rearrange them inside again lol

4:28 Difference between Flatten and Outline Path options demoed, is that flatten combines everything into one layer while outline does not. Otherwise they both do the same thing. They convert higher level objects down to vector paths. Like editable text no longer is editable instead it becomes a vector path of what the text looked like when it was converted.
