    i’m just wondering if there is a way to ‘paste’ a movie on to a masked 3d layer? kind of like in superman when the villians were trapped in the shards of glass floating around. I can do it in a 3d program but was hoping a way to do it in ae.

    so i basically want a triangle shape with a movie on front side and then when it spins around in 3d space there will be another movie.. when it spins back it’d be continuation of first movie.. makes sense?

    thanks!!!!

    Im not sure if this is what you are asking for but …
    1.) Get your two layers, mask one of them and copy the mask onto the other layer
    2.) Make both the “front” and the “back” movie 3d layers
    3.) Move the “back” movie .5 pixels on the Z axis and parent the back “movie” to the front “movie”
    4.) Keyframe the rotaation of the front movie and the back will follow its rotation and it will seem as if it is a triangle with a different movie oneach side.
    5.) If you want the front movie to freeze while the back one is facing the camera just use tiome remapping on it
