Adjustment layers, can these be locked allowing additional layers on top?
Anyone with a bead on this is welcome to chime in.
I used PP adjustment layer to re-size a six minute piece, in order to put an active OOF sparkle background picture frame around the main clip. (a 6″ width of tree tinsel hung from a mic boom, shot for the duration with a 55mm macro)
Motion provided or ‘fluffed’ with a drink straw taped onto the vacuum output from across the floor.
This is delivered as a Point of Sale animation/clip to be played on a loop in a gift shop for Christmas. (CD release as the focus, 12 song sampler).
The only way to get it working (I’m sure there is something in mask or matte land I have yet to learn) was to render the main file, then build the new timeline by cropping the tinsel motion to outside of the now 90% viewable area.
In general is there, can, adjustment layers be stacked but not affect the layer(s) below by locking it off somehow?
This so I could render one high res file inclusive of the motion frame and not step on (render again) the h.264 file in the second phase.
Ideally, I’d like to crop from the center out but simply could not find reference to that either in AE or PP?
Any suggestions?
Many thanks,
Rob Manning

Have you tried nesting a sequence in another sequence Inception-like?
