The "solid Composite" effect is something I use all the time (it's very handy for making sure blend modes work correctly for lighting effects). However, for some unknowable reason, the default color it's set to use is white, not black. Can this be changed to black? It would probably end up saving me (and others!) hours of work over the course of a year!
You could alway save an animation preset with the the color set to black. You could name it "Solid Composite - Black," then next time you search for the effect you can double-click it in the Effects list, and boom, several clicks saved.
That's a really good suggestion! Unfortunately, I don't think Effect presets can be launched from Video Copilot's FXConsole, only actual effects (FXconsole is so useful, I wish Adobe integrated that kind of functionality directly into After Effects)
Actually, I was wrong - you can access Presets from FX Console. I was just saving the preset to the wrong folder! Thank you for the original suggestion
