OCIO transforms, CC Flo Motion, Liquify, Rolling Shutter Repair, Warp Stabilizer, Compressor,
Distortion and Gate (audio), Camera-Shake Deblur, CC Radial Blur, CC Hair, Particle Playground,

### Added in M9.11 (39 effects)
| Category | Effects | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 3D Channel | 3D Channel Extract, Cryptomatte, Depth Matte, Depth of Field, EXtractoR, Fog 3D, ID Matte, IDentifier | Read auxiliary channels: multi-layer OpenEXR (any `layer.channel`, Cryptomatte manifests from the header) or the compositor's own depth / layer-ID / normal / UV / Cryptomatte pass for precomps of 3D comps. |
| Immersive Video | VR Blur, VR Chromatic Aberrations, VR Color Gradients, VR Converter, VR De-Noise, VR Digital Glitch, VR Fractal Noise, VR Glow, VR Plane to Sphere, VR Rotate Sphere, VR Sharpen, VR Sphere To Plane | Seam-aware equirectangular processing (wrap-around, pole continuation, latitude-scaled filters), mono / over-under / side-by-side layouts; VR Converter between equirectangular, cube maps (4:3, 3:2, 6:1), sphere map and 2D. |
| Color Correction | OCIO CDL / Color Space / Display / File / Look Transform, Color Stabilizer | Built-in minimal OCIO-style config (ACES2065-1, ACEScg, ACEScct, sRGB, Rec.709, Rec.2020, Display P3, linear variants, XYZ) from published matrices and transfer functions; `.cube` / `.3dl` / `.csp` LUTs and ASC `.cc` / `.ccc` / `.cdl`. Custom `.ocio` config files are not read yet. |
| Distort | CC Flo Motion, Liquify, Rolling Shutter Repair | Liquify strokes are effect data replayed into a displacement mesh (`liquify.stroke` / `liquify.clear` commands; no interactive viewer brush yet). Rolling Shutter Repair uses the KLT tracker. |
| Blur & Sharpen | Camera-Shake Deblur, CC Radial Blur | Deblur substitutes aligned patches from sharper neighbouring frames. |
| Audio | Compressor, Distortion, Gate | Applied in the mixdown like the other audio effects. |
| Simulation | CC Hair, Particle Playground | Particle Playground: cannon, grid, layer exploder, layer map, gravity, repel, wall, persistent property mapper (no Particle Exploder, text particles or ephemeral mapper yet). |
| Keying | Key Light | The full Keylight 1.2 control set under a generic name ("Keylight" is a vendor trademark); `lookup("Keylight (1.2)")` finds it. |
| Utility | Color Profile Converter | Our colour spaces and ACES; rendering intents (perceptual gamut compression, relative / absolute colorimetric, saturation). |
| Obsolete | mocha shape | Mocha's export format is not public: reads a documented JSON shape format instead. |
## Highest-value gaps, in order
1. ~~On-canvas text editing and per-character styles~~ (landed: M9.9–M9.10).
