Frequently Asked Questions
How many effects can be added to an adjustment layer?
There is no limit to the number of effects applied to one adjustment layer. Filmora gives you the flexibility to use the
adjustment layer feature as you wish. You can apply combinations of effects to a single adjustment layer or use
different adjustment layers to control more effects. For example, it is accessible for you to set an adjustment layer
specially for color grading so that you can adjust the color tone with ease.
Are there any tips for using the adjustment layer feature?
(1) The Transform parameter of the Adjustment Layer feature is different from other media. It adjusts the settings
(Scale, Position, Flip & Rotate, etc.) of how the underlying clips are displayed, instead of the settings of the clips
themselves.
(2) An adjustment layer is like a sheet of glass placed above the underlying clips. When placed above all the tracks, the adjustment layer will affect or hide the visual adjustment of other media in the Player Window.
