  • Inexplicable Layer Interaction!

    Posted by Lefty Burns on September 12, 2007 at 4:36 am

    I am working in Motion 3.0.1 and having some extremely frustrating interactions happening between three .psd layers that I am compositing. The 1st (top most) layer is 100% opaque, the 2nd layer (middle) is semi-transparent, and the 3rd layer is a wire frame, glowing edges only cutout. The strange interaction comes when the 3 layers overlap. The bottom most layer (the wire frame image) appears to break in half–the left half stays below the first and second layers, while the right half of the image is visible above the first (top most) layer! No amount of manipulation seems to help, and I have tried numerous work arounds to no avail.
    Help, please!

    I was able to solve the problem by moving the offending graphic behind all the other graphics on the Z axis.
