  • CC Ball Action doesn’t work on subcomp

    Hi everybody,

    I have a problem using the CC Ball Action in After Effects.
    I am working on a composition (Call it A) that contains another one with a green screen in it (Call it B). The main problem is that when I apply the CC Ball Action on the A comp, this affect the image except for the place where the green screen was. It looks like the plugin doesn’t recognize the precomp as a whole scene but it still analyze it as two different levels.

    Here a screenshot:

    Does anyone have an idea to fix it?

    Sounds like you have the Collapse Transformations box checked. A screenshot of your whole workspace could help identify if that is or isn’t the issue.

    Hi Daniel,

    thanks for the answer.
    Here the workspace. On the left side the composition where I applied the green screen, on the right side the one where I applied the CC Ball Action. No Collapse transformation box is checked, still the green screen level disappears.

    Is there a mask on that layer?

    On the layers where I used the CC Ball Action there are no masks. In the subcomps there are some masks but not where the screen disappears!
