    Hi keysofff, that sounds frustrating. To help us figure out what's going on, could you share a few details?

    1. Your exact After Effects version and your OS.

    2. A short screen recording showing the issue.

    3. When you switch from layer 1 to layer 2 in the Timeline, does the Effect Controls panel update to show layer 2's effects, or does it still show layer 1's?

    4. Do any of your text layers have parenting or expressions linking properties between them?

    Looking forward to your response.


    Thanks,

    Nishu
