Showing users what they can do with effects & Applying a Layer Blur only on the background of a frame
DEMO VIDEO

[still_peacock]

a blur backdrop effect gave me what I wanted

I don’t really understand this one, can you elaborate?

[still_peacock]

Instead of directly expanding into this interface

[still_peacock]

you could add a plus in the collapsed state, like this:

[still_peacock]

and let people choose between some premade effects

[still_peacock]

like the glowing text I showed in the video

[still_peacock]

or a blur on the background

[still_peacock]

(when letting users choose between these premade effect you could also offer a (i) tooltip on hover that shows an image with an example and explains what the effect is supposed to do)

[still_peacock]

the goal is to show people some examples of what they can do with the effects tab

[yang]

Ah, got it!

You should also remove this Apply dropdown menu.
And either don’t hide those two tabs or add them to the bottom.
But I think you’d want those two feature sets to be used more.
