Showing and hiding applied effects

Using the Effect switch , you can control whether a layer's effects appear in both previews and rendered versions. When you deselect this switch, the layer is displayed and rendered without its effects, saving previewing and rendering time. This switch is available only if a layer has effects applied to it.

To show or hide all effects applied to one layer:

Do one of the following:

• In the Timeline window, click the Effect switch for a layer to toggle between showing and hiding effects.
• Select a layer, choose Layer > Switches, and make sure that the Effect command is selected (to show effects) or deselected (to hide effects).

You can temporarily turn on or off an individual effect applied to a layer. (See Applying and controlling effects.)
