Adjustment Layers
I remember seeing something about putting a layer into the project that will make all the layers below not have an effect. Example: I have 9 layers, I’d like to add a blur to the top four with an effected adjustment layer and have it not affect the bottom 5. Is this possible?

why don’t you pre-compose the top layers (select them and hit ctrl+chift+c) and then apply the effect to the precomp?

The effect is a breif fast blur, faded in and out in just a few frames, to coincide with a big base drum hit. Later in the movie I need the four layers to spread apart in z space (did I spell that right, is that even a word?) and then come back together as a TV screen to display the main part of the video that this is the opening sequence for. I suppose I could duplicate the layers, pre comp them, and then use the second set for the depth effect but if theres a way to isolate the lower layers that would make the stack less complicated and it seems like it would be a handy trick.
