Working with effects


    When you apply an effect to a layer, the Effect Controls window opens; the effect is listed there. Each layer to which you apply effects appears on its own tab in the Effect Controls window. The effect is also listed in the Effects section under the layer name in the Timeline window. If you apply additional effects to the layer, they are listed under the first effect in the Timeline window. Effects are rendered in order from top to bottom in this list. You change the order in which effects are rendered by dragging the effect name to a new position in the list.

    The Effect Controls window contains a variety of controls that modify the properties of an effect, including sliders, options, color swatches, effect points, and angles.
