  • How to paint over all layers??

    Posted by Peter Gud on May 24, 2008 at 11:54 pm

    Hi, I am having a heck of a time trying to rotoscope a short video. I have several objects in my AfterEffects project and I would like to see them all while I am using the paint brush tool. The problem is, I cannot paint on the “composition”, nor can I figure out how to get more than one element to show up in a “layer” tab. Some insight would be most appreciated! =)

    Add a Solid at the top of the stack, paint on that. For both paint and vector paint there are option to paint on transparent, I believe.
