    Masked the car and both side windows. The goal is to eliminate the background from all. Tried re-arranging, pre-comping each layer and still can’t achieve the desired results. Couldn’t find much in the manual either. It’s probably an easy solution but my brain will not compute.

    Thanks.

    Put all three masks on the same layer. Car mask on top, set to “add”. The window masks below, set to “subtract” (do not check the invert boxes).
