    help with masking

    Posted by Rmp718 on September 1, 2006 at 9:25 pm

    apologies for the elementary question ~

    I’m trying to extract a section from one layer: I have a layer of footage (layer 1), then text (layer 2) then different footage inside the text (layer 3). What I’m seeing is both layers of footage inside the text when I only want layer 3 inside and layer 1 outside the text.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    thanks ~

    Top layer should be text (visibility off). Layer two should be your text footage and should use text alpha as track matte. TRack 3 should be background footage.

    Regards
