  • Problems with Roto Brush layers

    Posted by Lena Mnk on March 14, 2017 at 12:12 am

    I need to create text behind moving objects, so I start to use Roto brush on the moving object. However text which I placed behind the objects are affected by this Roto Brush layers (Roro Brush layers are above Text layer). Text are switching opacity in a middle of the footage and also appearing not at the beginning of the footage.

    Can’t understand how to resolve this problem, and why top layer is affecting layers below?

    Hope someone can help.

    Thank you

    Without knowing a lot more about how you’ve built your project, it’s going to be hard to help. Video demonstrating the problem, screenshots with your timeline showing the problematic layers, etc. would help.

    Thank you Michael,

    Having un-cropped screenshots can often be more helpful.
    Have you frozen your Roto Brush? Once you finish tweaking it, you need to freeze it before you go further.

    Also, what, exact, version number of AE is your CS6?

    Hi, Yes Roto Brush frames is frozen, and I did not apply any effect on it, Text layer is reacting that strange at particular points of the footage. if I making 2 Roto Brushe layers invisible, Text layer is fine.
