  The ‘T’ Icon

  Posted by Dawud Ali on January 5, 2013 at 10:26 pm

  Hi Guys

  I never really notice or used the ‘t’ icon
  which is located on the layer panel before the track matte icons/ options.

  I ‘just’ saw a person use it in a tutorial and it seems like a very useful solution to multiple masking and having to track matte several times in one comp.

  But the guy didn’t really explain the function well and I was hoping to get a good explanation here on how to use the neat function.

  Many Thanks in advance
