It works! Thank you very much sir!
It was exactly as you said, the effects were applied to the pre-comp instead of being inside it. I wish I’d known this earlier hahaha, it would have saved me a lot of trouble. But I guess these types of problems are inevitable when you’re a novice. It was great to be able to learn from you. Thanks again!
P.S.: I’ll try to think of posting the final result here, if you want to see it 😉
