    How is it possible to create a transaprent stroke around an object?

    ____ Layer 1 with Stroke

    ____ Layer 2 (invinsible at the Stoke of Layer 1 )

    ____ Layer 2 (vinsible at the Stroke of Layer 1)

    Hi Marcel, I’m confused about what you want to do. If it is transparent then you cannot see that it is there, so whatever is behind it will show through whether it is there or not. Perhaps you can give an example or explain more clearly?

    I have 3 Layers in the stroke of my First layer which is on the top i want to see the third layer

    So the stroke of my First layer would make the second layer “invinsible” and the third layer shine through

    Do you mean the Stroke effect, or the stroke setting on a shape or text layer? Is the stroke moving so as to reveal the 3rd layer bit by bit, or is it fading out?

    The trick is using the text with the stroke as an alpha inverted track matte for the layer you want to add the transparency to. If there are several layers yo want to apply it to, precompose them first.
