To remove all effects applied to one or more layers, select the layer or layers from which you want to remove all
effects in the Timeline or Composition panel, and choose Effect > Remove All.
Note: This command eliminates all keyframes for the deleted effects. If you choose Remove All accidentally, immediately
choose Edit > Undo Delete Effect to restore the effects and keyframes.
Effect Controls panel
When you apply an effect to a layer, the Effect Controls panel opens, listing the effect you just applied. The Effect
Controls panel contains a variety of controls that modify the properties of an effect, including sliders, options, color
swatches, effect points, and angles.
Note: To switch between layers in the Effect Controls panel, click the tab at the top of the panel and select a layer from
the menu.
The effect is also listed in the Effects section under the layer name in the Timeline panel. If you apply additional
effects to the layer, they are listed under the first effect in the Timeline panel.
The order in which After Effects renders masks, effects, and transform properties, called the rendering order, may
affect the final result of an applied effect. 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. To achieve certain
results, change the default rendering order so that a transform property is rendered before an effect in a layer instead
of after the effect.
