Customize Workspace Layout

Effect House gives you the flexibility to customize your workspace by rearranging and undocking panels or editors. This allows you to create a layout that fits your workflow, helping you stay organized, focused, and efficient while building effects.

Add Panels or Editors

You can add panels or editors beside existing ones using More options to better organize your workspace.

In the example below, we’ll show you how to add the Timeline panel beside the Visual Scripting panel:

  1. Go to the Visual Scripting panel
  2. Click More options
  3. Select Timeline. The Timeline panel is now added beside the Visual Scripting panel.

Alternatively, you can add more panels or editors from the menu bar. Click Window and select a panel or editor you'd like to add. By default, the following panels or editors are not displayed:

  • Material Editor
  • Visual Effects Editor
  • TikTok Sounds
  • Console
  • Timeline

Rearrange Panels or Editors

You can also rearrange any of the panels or editors by dragging and dropping them into certain regions of your workspace.

In the example below, we'll show you how to rearrange the Scene panel by moving it next to the Assets panel:

  1. Go to the Scene panel
  2. Click on Scene and drag it to the right column of the Assets panel. (A gray horizontal or vertical bar will appear to show where the panel will dock.)

The Scene panel is now docked beside the Assets panel.

  1. Go to the Scene panel
  2. Click on Scene and drag it to an area on your screen of your choice. The Scene panel is now undocked.
