You can also change the Layer output the invisible item is in to one of

the five layer outline colors without changing the appearance of other

layers:


Click on the Modify Layers box to the left of the timeline and select

Red Outlines near the bottom (or one of the other colors) then

everything in that layer will appear as a Red Outline incluing Alpha

zero objects. To return the Layer to Normal select Normal collor from

the same menu.


The Layer color outlines can be very helpful in aligning objects on

different layers.
