  • Animating an effect on just one layer? CS5

    Posted by Sarah Lozano on January 28, 2016 at 4:24 am

    I need a little bit of help, I am working on a project where I have multiple green screen layers and I need one of them to be temporarily black and white ( I need to animate the opacity of that effect ) but I’m working in CS5 so compositing options does not appear. I tried an adjustment layer but as you know it effects all the layers! Help please!! 🙂

    What do you mean the compositing options aren’t appearing? Do you mean the transfer modes? You can toggle between modes/switches by pressing F4.

    Rather than trying to do this with one layer, I would think it easier to use a copy of the keyed layer set to combined matte and adjusting the opacity. Unless there’s a reason you don’t want to do it that way.
