Compositing

Effects

Add, reorder, enable, and animate non-destructive effects.

Updated June 21, 2026

Effects

Effects are non-destructive processors attached to a selected layer or clip.

Add an effect

Open Effect Controls, choose Add Effect, and select a compatible effect. The applied stack displays each effect's enable state and editable controls.

Stack order

Effects evaluate in stack order. Reordering effects can change the visual result because each processor receives the output of the previous one.

Animation

Parameters that expose keyframe controls can change over time. The rendered result updates in the viewer and export path.

Compatibility

Not every processor is meaningful for every layer type. Oraphim disables or explains unsupported combinations instead of presenting an active control with no render effect.

Light-source effects

Compatible layers can receive 2D or 3D light-source behavior through Effect Controls. These controls use the existing composition lighting paths rather than a separate workflow.
