alright when i look at tutorials there is always this attribute box to the right of the screen...
i think i used to have that, but i guess i messed up somehow.
anyway, this is what the right side of my window looks like:

user added image

and thats just no way like it looks on the tutorials :/ it kinda frustrates me, and makes the tutorials harder to follow.
so... are there anyway to set the whole interface back to default, or can you help me out fixing the attributes box?

thanks in advance user added image

well i tried to take a screenshot of the video, but it just turned out black... i suppose it has something to do with the way the software renders the image.

anyway i got it working, and this was what i wanted:

That was because those are two different editors, the first was the Attribute Editor and what you wanted was the a split between the Channel and Layer Editors.

Yes you can , but unlike the Attribute Editor the Channel box by default displays only some of the common and basic attributes like transforms and such without the sliders and buttons and it takes up little screen space which sometimes comes in handy.
