Question

Pre-comp with Add Mode on a video layer won't work on Parent Comp

Hi. So I have a video layer in a pre-comp that has the Add Mode applied. When I place the pre-comp into the main comp.....the Add mode doesn't work. Now the thing is, I want to make that layer (pre-comp) a 3D layer so I can't use the "collapse transformations" option. Does anyone have any suggestions please?

Thanks for your time!

Thanks for reaching out.

 

Which 3D renderer are you using? Advanced 3D and Cinema 4D do not support Blending Modes.

Let me know if that helped. 


Thanks,

Hi

I'm using Classic 3D. And the Add Mode is not working in the parent comp. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks

Hey Emmet, thanks for getting back to me!

 

It seems to be working fine on my end. If you could share your project file, that would be awesome! Feel free to DM me if you'd rather not share it publicly.

Looking forward to hearing from you.


Thanks,
Nishu
