Hi,
I have a file which i want to lay over with a linear burn instead of the standard color burn in combustion.
Any suggestions ? The thing is that it is a copy of a AE animation. They used the Linear Burn, ofcourse i want
to show that it can be done in Combustion too. But combustion has the Color Burn as transfer mode.

Yes you can do it. I found out how from this website. Set Layer1 (Foreground layer) to Subtract. Apply an invert operator to Layer2 (Background layer). That site has a lot of info on transfer modes, so you should be able to create any PS/AE transfer mode in another compositing package.

This is great site! When reading through all that info I got an idea of converting this to capsules but not sure if this is even doable? How about each transfer mode available as a capsule? Anyone else up for that?

Yeah I actually looked into that last night. Unfortunately until Combustion gets a true scripting language or per pixel support you are kinda SOL. Most of the transfer modes adjust the data per pixel. Even with the Linear Burn is not correct. For example with Linear Burn if you background is larger than your foreground you will see inverted edges where the foreground image doesn't cover. You could use merge operator to crop and then a composite to add it back on.
