adjustment layer transparency??
Hi,
I am doing keying and I am trying to find out why I can’ t see my background image in total transparency….what I did (in order placed in timeline):added effects into masks in adjustment layer (matte choker ) and keying effect also
footage layer
solid layer or background image: i only see total transparecny in the area where my adjustment layer is not there (as I made masks for it), i don’t see this solid layer or bkgrd image in the areas where my adjustment is supposed to be transparent!!!!???So my question is: if I apply effects in the masks of my adjustment layer to get rid of green color and then place a background image in my “transparent areas”, why are these areas not really transparent? why I can’t see my bkgrd image there?
i can’t apply effects into my footage image because i will have to create masks that will make desappear some areas that are needed.
So,what can I do?????
thank you!!!

Your workflow is at fault. Don’t key out using an Adjustment Layer. Instead, apply the keying plugins directly onto your chroma footage.
If you still insists on keying using the Adjustment Layer, then nest this composition into another composition and lay your background layer in thi composition.
Adjustment Layers will affect all layers below them.

Duplicate your source footage layer and mask the duplicate for those effects that need to use the masks. You’ll still have your original footage layer below to work with.
