Effects
Audio
Every effect Effects & Presets lists under Audio, generated from the editor’s effect registry: what it does, the layers it works on, and each parameter with its default and range.
- The category, with the number of effects in it.
- Select an effect to add it to the selected layer. An effect shown greyed out reads another layer, and the composition has none it can use yet.
Backwards
Plays the layer's sound from its last frame to its first, leaving the frames in order; it can swap the left and right channels.
