# Adding Scenes to a Movie

You can add scenes to your animation set to organize and manage the contents of your movie scenes:

The Scene Manager window provides you access to all of the scenes in your animation. You can use this window to show/hide the scenes you want to render, as well as change the order of the scenes in your movie.

When you add scenes to your movie, Toon Boom Studioadds a scene folder to your animation set.

All scenes in an animation set share the following:

- Palettes, palette styles, and swatches
- Pen styles
- Templates
- Sounds
- Exposure Sheet/Timeline window colors
- Default UI colors

If you make changes to any of these traits, Toon Boom Studio updates them in all the scenes in your animation set. This allows you to maintain a consistent look throughout your movie.

To add scenes to your movie:

1. Select Window > Show Scene Manager to display the Scene Manager window.

2. Click Add Scene to create a new scene. By default, Toon Boom Studio assigns a name to each new scene that you can change later.

A new scene appears in the Scene Manager window and an empty exposure sheet or timeline appears in the Toon Boom Studio window.
