| Add an effect | Apply an effect such as Gaussian Blur to a layer and change its settings in Effect Controls. | 30 | 0.9.2 |
Select a layer, then choose the effect from the Effect menu, or double-click it in the Effects & Presets panel. Change its settings in Effect Controls (F3).
Shortcuts on this page use Ctrl. On macOS, use Cmd instead of Ctrl.
Steps
- Select a layer in the Timeline.
- Apply an effect in one of two ways:
- Choose it from the Effect menu. Effects are grouped by category, for example Effect ▸ Blur & Sharpen ▸ Gaussian Blur.
- Open Window ▸ Effects & Presets (Ctrl+5). Type in the search field, then double-click the effect. Dragging it onto a layer works too.
- Open Window ▸ Effect Controls (F3), or choose Effect ▸ Effect Controls. The effect's settings are listed there. Gaussian Blur has Blurriness, Blur Dimensions and Repeat Edge Pixels.
- Change a value. Click the stopwatch beside it to animate it, as in Animate with keyframes.
If no layer is selected when you double-click an effect, EffectCraft shows Select a layer to apply to. Select a layer and try again.
Remove or reuse effects
- Effect ▸ Last Effect applies the effect you used last.
- Effect ▸ Remove All takes every effect off the selected layers.
- In Effects & Presets, click the star on an effect to add it to Favorites. Recently used effects are listed too.
Layer styles
For drop shadows, glows and bevels, use Layer ▸ Layer Styles. It lists Drop Shadow, Inner Shadow, Outer Glow, Inner Glow, Bevel and Emboss and Satin, among others.
