  • applying lightning effect removes footage?

    Posted by Dolphbean on November 10, 2007 at 1:36 pm

    I have an animation I created in C4D and have imported it into AE with an alpha channel. I now want to apply the horizontal lightning effect in AE to it. When i do this, the lightning appears and the footage below disappears.

    What is it that i am doing wrong?

    Many thanks in advance for your help.

    Regards,
    Dolph

    Are you using Advanced Lightning? If so click the little “Composite On Original” box at the bottom of the plugin parameters.
