    Hmm, think I have solved by adding an adjustment layer between the text layers and applying the linear wipe to that…

    [Olly Lawer] “For some reason the linear wipe will only work when the layer is not 3D. This obviously causes a huge issue…”

    3D layers in ray-traced comps cannot accept effects. Traditional Ae effects work on pixels, but the ray tracer thinks in terms of light, geometry, and materials.
