    im sure this is basic – but when i try to add an effect onto another, i often get “effect does not apply” so then i control alt and drag it over, and i still get it – is there some order to layering effects? this is a 3 d warp – just wanted to enlarge the picture a bit, then tried to put time warp over it to slow it down – then i tried it the other way, still does not work – what am i doing wrong? i thought when i control alt and drag it would nest the effect…

    First off, I would do the time warp first, then add the enlarge effect. If the time warp is just a constant speed faster or slower, try creating a motion effect rather than using the time warp. If the keyboard shortcut is not working for the nesting, then step into the effect the old fashioned way using the step-in/out buttons below the timeline. A third alternative is to add the second effect on a second video track if all else fails.

    The keyboard command is ‘alt’ drag….
