After effects adjustment layer has no effect on any layer I want to apply effect to.

hello everyone,

So im new to after effects and im trying to make an edit, but to make one of the transitions I have to use an adjustment layer and put it above the two clips i want the transition to be in. The problem is that whenever i apply the transform effect and change the position to the adjustment layer it doesn't seem to add any effect to my clips, meaning that when i play the video its like nothing happened, like no edit or change was made. My guess is that my adjustment layer isn't working.

If someone knows how to fix this it would really mean a lot!

Thanks! XOXO

Select the composition (your clip), click on the None option under the Parent & Link panel, then select the adjustment layer with the effects you want your composition to have.

I'm trying to make something similar, but with no good results.

I need to create a MOGRT with a text box that fills a side of the video (left or right). The text box is easy to create and adjust the controllers , but i also need the video underneath (with the mogrt already applied in Premiere) to move together with the art.

I already tried use the Transform/Displacement Map effect in a adjustment layer, but it only works inside the After Effects, when I export it as a MOGRT file it doesn't have any effect on the video layers in Premiere.

There's some code and/or effect that I'm missing? Can someone help me?

For me what worked is that I had Draft 3d enabled due to which effects weren't showing up lol.

Check this window, and make sure you are on the tab of the complete video, not the individual layers. That was my issue.

You indicate that "yes im using the transform effect". I think the question Kyle Hamrick is asking is did you import the transform effect to the layer or are you using the layer's effecs. It's explained in this video ... https://youtu.be/mAukNiIUYlg

you might have your draft 3d enabled. I don't know if it existed in 2017. but I just had the similar problem. to turn off draft 3d you have to atleast turn on 3d on one layer.. then you can see the draft 3d option bottom of the compositon panel.

You may also want to confirm Fast Previews is off. I noticed this with AE 2021 v 18 and turning it off made the Adjustment Layer effects show up (not sure if it's related but thought I'd mention in case it helps).

make a new shape, a rectangle that covers the whole screen. copy all of the effects from your adjustment layer to the rectangle, and turn on the little "adjustment layer" toggle on it. i guess whatever genius came up with adjustment layers decided they are empty by default, and being empty means no effect is applied.

Restart after effects and turn this on and off. The adjustment layer icon.
