Activity Forums Adobe After Effects CC Composite Issue

  • CC Composite Issue

    The CC Composite samples over only the first frame of the footage – true / false?

    Is it well known Composite-specific, a bug, or what else? Was looking up
    in AE Help/Community, Cycore, forums, asked Copilot – no notions of such issue. Is it just me?

    As soon as I applied CC Composite to Time Remapped layer, where time value is other than 00:00:00:00, I get what’s seen in the screenshot; Overlay mode used. Apparently, it is time-remapping-unrelated thing, which is also independent from Preserve Frame Rate/Resolution When Nested switches.

    What would be the work-around? I need to composite time-synced and filtered footage over itself within the bounds of same layer.

    Sorry, apparently there is no bug, and the CC Composite works as expected.
    The “bug” happened upon layer duplication – it just kept original layer’s setting, even it was pointing to itself – the pointing-to-itself wasn’t duplicated.
    Unfortunately, there is no way to script the TopLayer property to thisLayer, which in turn undermines the flexibility of automatic layer customization – user will need to enter the every copy and re-set every layer and effect with Layer control properties. Or, can you suggest a workaround, a smart duplicate script that does that? 😪
