  • Question About Flying Through Tunnel Tutorial

    Posted by Jason Mccaffrey on May 12, 2005 at 7:25 pm

    Hello,

    I’m brand new to after effects as of yesterday, so sorry if this is a pesky question.

    I’m doing the “Flying Through a Tunnel in After Effects” tutorial that’s posted under the tutorials here on the cow. I am at the section where I am trying to cover up the seam when I wrap the fractal. The instructions are to copy the layer, and then change the dimensions on the newly created layer in order to just place it over top of the seam where the two ends meet. However, whatever changes I make to the top layer affect the other layer (the one that the first layer was copied and pasted from). This is true if I check the lock track box, too. What am I doing wrong here?

    Let me note that I am using AE 6.0 on a G4.

    Thanks in advance!

    Jason

    Sorry, I posted too quickly. I had to uncheck a box that said “Affect all layers that use this solid” or something like that. Thanks for reading this anyway.

    Hopefully I don’t become the boy who cried wolf here, but now I’m at the point in the tutorial where I applied a ramp, and I am supposed to “change the transfer mode to ‘multiply'”, but I don’t have the mode drop down menu like he has on his screen shot in the tutorial. Where can I find this multiply function in AE 6.0? Thanks!
