Visibility layers can help you see what you are working on more clearly, by showing or hiding different elements of your photo animation project.

The Visibility Layers panel has 4 options:

Animation Markers
Crop
Mask
Image

Click the Animation Markers button to toggle Motion Arrows and Anchor Point visibility on and off.

Click the Crop button to toggle the crop box visibility on and off, to better visualize your final image.

Click the Mask button to toggle on and off the visibility of the mask area.

Click the Image button to toggle on and off the image itself.

Note that none of these settings affect the final animation, they are strictly visual aids for your editing process.
