How do I open the effects control panel in After Effects?

Published in After Effects Basics 1 min read

You can open the Effects Control panel in After Effects by navigating to the Window menu.

To access the Effects Controls panel:

  1. Go to the Window menu in the top menu bar of After Effects.
  2. Select "Effect Controls." This will open the panel, allowing you to adjust the effects applied to your selected layer.

The Effect Controls panel allows you to modify any effects applied to a selected layer within your composition. This is where you'll find settings like opacity, position, scale, rotation, and effect-specific properties. While the Effects Control panel is not part of the default "Standard" workspace, accessing it via the Window menu ensures it's available regardless of your current workspace setup.
