Selecting objects

You need to select an object before you can perform actions such edit its settings or use the gizmo to apply transformations. To select an object, use one of the following methods:
In the timeline
On a desktop device, left click an object on the timeline to select it.
On a VR headset, either tap or use the laser pointer to select an object on the timeline. For more information, see Interacting with the editor panel on a VR headset.
The currently selected object is displayed with a lighter background color.
