New Composition
by Jim Ives on Jun 16, 2008 at 11:46:31 pm

OK! I'm trying to understand the overall picture of how things work. If I have comp 1 can I make a new comp2 and create 3D animations in comp2 and put it ontop of comp 1 in the layer stack so the animations will play over top of the first comp? And somehow make comp2 transparent(mask?) except for where the animations are then somehow composite them together to render the whole thing as one file?
Am I way off base here??

Thanks,
Jim Ives

Ok. I 'think' I'm on the right track. Im going to try it and see when i'm finished with the first main comp.

Thanks again for the help!
