I need overlay texture to effect only certain layers
by Blake Porter on Aug 31, 2008 at 11:49:48 pm

I'm applying an image as an overlay to add textures to a scene, but it effects all layers. Is there a simple way (without changing layer order) for this not to effect certain layers?
Thanks!!

Have you tried making some layers into precomps and nesting into a new comp?

being skilled with track mattes would help you out a lot;
try this:

- identify all layers that need the texture
- duplicate them all
- put them in a separate precomp and be sure they are in order
- place the new precomp right on top of your texture
- change the texture's track matte to 'alpha matte'
