Question

How can I use transparent Cryptomattes ? Picking an object always selects the one in the foreground.

Hi there !

I’ve been having issues with using transparent Cryptomattes in After effects. 

Whenever I want to select something that is behind a transparent object with the picker, AE selects the object in the foreground with no way for me to actually pick the one behind. Which makes using cryptomattes with glass objects unusable.

Does anyone have any solution for making this work ?

Thanks !
