No it is only me that they stare at. They seem to be saying “come and join us”

The preserve transparency button does not seem to work the same way as the
lock transparency in Photoshop. In Ps you can lock it and paint and it over it and it does not hold the stroke or effect.
I will have to experiment

I just used Keylight. It is totaly cool. Two clicks of the mouse and the job is almost done 🙂
I will have to play around with channel shifting and channels in general in AE.
Inceed cows are truly evil.

Thanks. I am did that. Not sure though that it is exactly what I wanted.
I want to lets say use the vector paint tool. If I had the transparency locked then I could just use a massive brush and it would only paint the
parts of the image that were the visible elements. In photoshop you could just ‘fill with bkg colour’ the transparency remains transparent.

I hope that explains it a bit better.

I think I need to clarify.
I have two layers in my composition. My master layer and my mask layer.
In the mask layer I have the elements cut out against a transparency.
I would like to apply the mask layer to the master layer.
I know that it must be simple but it really does have me beat.

I hope that makes more sense
