The "Render on Top at Play" feature allows you to ignore the hierarchy structure of Timelines and play the selected timeline over the top of all others. The feature can be enabled on a per timeline bases, allowing you more control and creative flexibility.
How to enable "Render on Top at Play"
The feature is enabled within the Compositing Tab. Navigate to the Timelines library and select a timeline. The feature can then be selected by picking from the following list:
On: Turns feature on - When Timeline is played, will jump to the “top” of the render order
Off: Turns feature off - Timeline will function as normal
Exclude (Not Occluded if Topmost): Timeline is Excluded from this feature, result is that the Timeline will remain where it is in the render stack. Usecase would be wanting to always have a mask layer on a top timeline that “Render on Top” Can't jump over
When the feature is enabled, the Timeline will play on top when triggered to play.
These indicators show on which timeline this feature is enabled and which timeline is currently the top most timeline
