There are two compositions in my project. The mask for the lightsaber, and the footage with the masked layers in “screen” mode. Here are some pics of the problem i’m experiencing. let me know if you need to see more detail of the masks applied to the layers. I’m very new to After Effects, sorry if my terminology is off. Also, I’m new to this forum, sorry if the pictures don’t show up, I will check back in a while to see if they did in fact upload. Thank you!
