  • I need overlay texture to effect only certain layers

    Posted by Blake Porter on August 31, 2008 at 11:49 pm

    I’m applying an image as an overlay to add textures to a scene, but it effects all layers. Is there a simple way (without changing layer order) for this not to effect certain layers?
    Thanks!!

    Have you tried making some layers into precomps and nesting into a new comp?

    being skilled with track mattes would help you out a lot;
    try this:

    – identify all layers that need the texture
    – duplicate them all
    – put them in a separate precomp and be sure they are in order
    – place the new precomp right on top of your texture
    – change the texture’s track matte to ‘alpha matte’
