Radio Waves Nube Question
I am finally getting into AE and already have many ideas on how I would like to use it.
One such idea involves the Radio Waves effect, but I have a problem:
How do I get the effect to show over an image or video?
I apply the effect to the image I want, but the image disappears and leaves only the radio waves.Thanks for the help.

2 ways i can think of…
the most common way is to work with the effect on a separate layer… choose layer>new>solid, make it comp sized, then add the radio waves effect to the solid. if the solid is over the video layer, then you’ll have what you are after. you can also place other layers in between and the radio waves effect will show over the top of those too.
if you want to leave it on the footage layer, you’ll need to add one more effect to re-composite the layer under the radio waves effect. add the effect ‘cc composite’ (effects>channel>cc composite). set the ‘composite original’ dropdown to ‘behind’ and uncheck the rgb only option.

Create a solid in the comp and apply the radio waves effect to that, then you can play with the various transparency modes & opacity to reveal the clips underneath.

Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. I thought it would be something like that, but my mind was fried by that point.
