How can you change the order of effects inside a nest?

• A. Drag an effect icon up or down in the Effect Editor
• B. Rearrange in Timeline
• C. Use keyboard shortcuts to move to top
• D. Duplicate effects to reorder

Answer: (A)

Inside a nest, effects are applied in a specific stack order, so the processing path goes through each effect in that sequence. Dragging an effect icon up or down in the Effect Editor changes where that effect sits in the stack, which alters the order in which the effects are applied and thus the final result. This direct, visual method is how you reorder the internal chain of effects without affecting the nest as a whole. Other methods don’t adjust the internal order: rearranging in the Timeline affects clips or nests, not the sequence of effects inside the nest; keyboard shortcuts to move to the top aren’t the standard way to reorder within the nest; and duplicating effects creates copies rather than changing the position of existing ones.
