  Advice on how to handle this issue

  Posted by Anna Smith on April 22, 2020 at 7:15 pm

  Hello!

  I’m new to After Effects, so I am still learning. I’ve created this simple animation: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rZ5L5pxOk9HhyMgYctHpFbER9TXjZ7lk/view?usp=sharing

  When you swipe, the bowls move over, sort of like a carousel. However, you’ll notice that the bowl that moves from middle to right, overlaps the bowl coming from the left. I don’t know how to fix this. The main bowl has to be the top layer so that it can cover the other two…once it moves though this becomes problematic.

  Any advice on how you would handle this issue?

  Thank you!

  Hi Anna,

  You can duplicate the Middle bowl layer, putting one layer below the left bowl layer and the other one on top of it?
  Then when you swipe have the opacity on the top one drop to 0 revealing the one underneath which would already at your final transparency. Hope this helps.

  Just do a quick cut sleight of hand trick.
  Using duplicated layers and move them in view hierarchy order.
  Duplicate the moving bowl right at the frame you wish it to be behind the new bowl and use “Split Layer”. Move the incoming layer below the new bowl but make sure to have the transparent keyframes applied prior to all this.
