    [mick dijk] “the ”fx”’ checkbox is gone”

    I’m assuming you mean the ‘fx’ checkbox on the layer in the timeline. You should be able to ‘toggle switches/modes’ to reveal that checkbox again (keyboard shortcut F4 on PC). You can also click on the ‘Switches / Modes’ button at the bottom of the timeline window.

    Some effects don’t have any result when the settings are default. Try to add a ‘blur’ to the text and crank up the settings. You should see the results. It’s hard to say what the problem is here without additional info about the comp and specific effects.

    Hope that helps,
