Re: Strange opacity behaviour when rendering paths

Occasionally I run into this issue, but unfortunately I have no explanation why it happens--by all means your layer logic is correct, it just seems AE gets confused when two layers occupy the same space. Another solution would be to just add a 2D adjustment layer between the base layer and the link layers to give a definite barrier so they never cross. But it depends on how much interaction you need between layers.

I'm not sure if the close proximity of the camera affects it either. Maybe try putting a camera way back and zoom in just to see if you have the same issues. Working in microspace in AE is never fun, but it seems every client wants us to zoom way out then zoom way in.
