Layer Blending Mode

[Mark]

Also certian blend modes don’t react to certain elements…example of this is a solid white layer with add used will still be a solid white layer. If you need an explanation of this just ask and it will be provided..

I’ve tried multiple layers. I even reinstalled AE. Very strange. I wonder if I have failed to turn something on.

Dave and Mark,

I’m testing right now. I have three layers, all tiff images one has an alpha matte.

No matter what mode choose, nothing happens.

It has to be something really simple that’s wrong.

[Robert Mrozowski]

No, I’m looking at the composition window.

[Robert Mrozowski]

Maybe this screen shot will show give you an idea of what’s wrong.

No dice. It didn’t help.

Do the Blending modes not work with other types of files, jpeg, move, png, etc? Is this just a Tiff thing or is it out of wack for all layers no matter the type?

[Robert Mrozowski]

Thanks for giving it a shot.

It always turns out to be something simple in the end.

turn off openGL acceleration. it is set to always on.

[sam.mltn] “turn off openGL acceleration. it is set to always on.”

…and then try using a more dramatic blending mode like Linear Burn or Hard Mix if you really want to test it =)

Double check the opacity of the underlying layers as well. My money is on some sort of OpenGL related issue though.
