AE Track Matte is only showing layers in the composition rather than matte options.

[Jack24443636o995]

I'm trying to do a simple text reveal animation. I created a shape to cover the text. For whatever reason, Track Matte isn't giving me any matte options. It's only showing the layers in the composition when I click the drop down arrow. Any help?

In After Effects 23.0, Track Mattes are no longer limited to only the layer directly above the layer you want to matte. Use the Pickwhip or Dropdown to choose a layer to use as a matte, and then two switches will be enabled to toggle Alpha / Luma and Inverted.
