WORKFLOW

Stack effects like layers.

Add, reorder and hide effects from the Image Editor or the 3D viewport. Post FX wires the nodes for you. Every node works with Blender 5's viewport compositor, so you see the final look while you light and animate.

Or work in nodes, fast.

Press Ctrl+A in the compositor: every Post FX node is one click away, inserted and connected where you need it.
