  Comps not matching

  Posted by Carl Norton on February 8, 2018 at 4:39 pm

  Hello! This is my first post and I wonder if someone could help me with this issue I have
  I’ll go through this quickly (keep in mind that in the Depth of field Effects layer there is another copy of the world layer which is tinted, but should affect only the dof)

  World layer On (Inside the precomp)-https://gyazo.com/15b8721cf6369991d4ea97e6ebf6bb79
  World layer On (Outside the precomp)-https://gyazo.com/a32e95bcc016bee9b636027d77fc4f1e
  As you can see, the world is darker and the Text layer is no more an overlay

  World layer Off (Inside the precomp)-https://gyazo.com/750fcc62ca0bdfbe575c354adc45b2dc
  World layer Off (Outside the precomp, without cc and everything)-https://gyazo.com/8fbad5021831211b3e6a7dd641a0402c

  Depth of field layer Off (Inside the precomp)-https://gyazo.com/b08cbfb0cbf7d62c91078854520c94ba
  Depth of field layer Off (Outside the precomp)-https://gyazo.com/4b6434605881ff67067b918057fd2e53

  Hopefully this won’t be very confusing but It’s quite hard to explain.

  Your world layer is set to be a guide layer, since you’re overlaying things above it, the blend will only show on its own comp. In order to pass it along, you’ll need to collapse pre-comp1 inside pre-comp3.

  This will obviously break your 3d view, unless you duplicate the camera/lights and so on. What you’re seeing in precomp-3 is exaclty what you’ll see in pre-comp 1 if you turn the world layer off.
