Compositing
Effects
Add, reorder, enable, and animate non-destructive effects.
Updated June 21, 2026Effects
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.
