Clipping Masks for semi-transparent layers

Question

Hi Character Animator Team!I love the new features and I really like to work with this software.I have a new project: I want to animate a group of dringking glasses , they will dance to music. The glasses are the heads and they have liquid inside. I applied a dangle behavior to the liquid, so the liquid can bounce around inside the glass when it moves. I also appiled a clipping mask to the liquid, so it only is visible inside the glass. But the glass ist semi-transparent, so the mask is visible behind the glass-layer. Any idea to solve this problem?RED is the clipping maskGREEN is the liquidPSD file:CH puppet:recorder window: (I want the red mask to be invisible)Kind regards!Christian

I worked around the problem by exporting 3 versions of the scene:

a) the puppet without the liquid layer

b) the liquid layer solo

c) the clipping mask layer solo

Then I composed the layers in AE.

It would be cool to be able to hide the clipping mask layer to the scene.
