In what order are After Effects layer effects applied? Pardon the noob question – If I have say a &quot;brightness&quot; effect and a &quot;sharpen&quot; effect appearing in this order (first is on top of the other), will &quot;brightness&quot; be applied first, then &quot;sharpen&quot;? or the other way around?
Yes, it works the way you suspected it would. Applied effects on a layer work from top to bottom, same with adjustment-layers and layer-modes applying from top to bottom.
