Question

Layer shiftout show error

As an animator, I frequently create transitions where one scene fades out while another fades in. Typically, I set the outgoing symbol to fade out and the incoming symbol to fade in by adjusting their alpha levels: I’d set the incoming symbol to 0% alpha at frame 1 and 100% alpha at frame 40 xxx, using a classic tween for a smooth transition.

In the past, I encountered an issue where all the layers, groups, and shapes within the symbol would become visible through each other, resulting in a chaotic blend. My goal was to achieve a fade-out effect that looked like a "flattened" image without actually flattening it. Previously, I could do this by using the “Layer” blend mode, but this option has been removed in a recent update.

Why would you copy my exact same question and adjust is slightly? Anyway, in the link of Mario_CR you will find the answer.

Use an alpha color effect and add an adjust color filter on the frame.

install and use the previous version, if that has the option you want.
