Trying to Change TrackMat Setting

Hello there!

 

Scenario: I am currently trying to change a layer to an alpha matte. However, no dropdown menu is displayed in the Trkmat Column.

 

Question: How would I do get a dropdown menu to select which type of matte I need for my project?

 

Ideas: Is it something to do with toggles & switch modes? Must it be in a comp with multiple layers?

 

Thank you much!

You need two layers to create a track matte.  1 is the fill layer (the lower layer) and one is the matte layer (the upper layer.  

 

If there is no matte layer above the fill layer you can't select a track matte option.
