If you expand any layer in your composition you will see the masks and effects on it laid out in the order they will be applied from top to bottom: masks, then effects, then transformations. For each layer, it first applies any masks (in the order they appear on the layer) and then it applies any effects (in the order they appear on the layer). This allows After Effects to composite the layers higher up onto the ones below them. You cannot change the render order in After Effects, but understanding how it works will equip you with the knowledge to solve common issues like the one above.Īfter Effects renders the layers in your composition from bottom up. The reason for this is the order in which After Effects renders the visual elements in your composition. For example, if you add a lightning effect onto a layer and then draw a mask over it, you will find that the lightning is not constraint by the shape of the mask. One thing that tends to throw people off when they start to work with effects and masks in After Effects is that they sometimes don’t get the result they were expecting.
