Hello Chris,

the Use Layer function is to save system resources when the same file is needed twice.
The video played back on the source layer will only pulled once and the the second layer set to "Use Layer" simply hooks up on the stream.
Means when you stop the source layer, the "Use layer" will stop too and it is always at the same frame position.

Cheers
