Adopting the powers of node-based programs by tweaking the set matte effect.
Inspired by Node-based workflows. We often want to combine different mattes into one layer without the need of pre-comping—and then even use the same matte for multiple layers.
If we improve the already existing "Set Matte" Effect with the functions of the "Track Matte", we may be on a better path!
Here is a video of how that could work: https://vimeo.com/138156034
1. Add a "Track Matte" switch to set matte:
This could make the "Transform Properties" of the set matte behave the same as how "Track Mattes" do. (this is possible already by sandwiching the set matte effect between two transform effects)
2. Multiple "Set Matte" Effects on one Layer
"Add" and "Subtract" Mattes from each other. Similar to how masks work.
