Blending Mode Nesting Sequence

[jasonjam]

Hello,

I'm building a sequence with 5 video channels which is essential a mask I built that will overlay a video. When testing in the sequence, the red area has a Multiply blend but when I nest this sequence into my main sequence, the blending mode is gone. Is there any way to fix this? My only fix is to keep the video inside the nested sequence but I don't want to do that.

Example 1- Sequence before nesting

Example 2- When nested

Strange.  Some kind of alpha issue maybe but it seems like the blend is not "transferring" across to the nested sequence..

If you un flatten it in the nest sequence...can you reapply your blend?

Just wondering how you made the red mask with the white  key line border.  Titler, psd,png, ai,..?

Can you try a different way of making it as a test.

Thanks for responding. I'm not sure how to un-flattten? If I un-flatten won't that expose all my video layers? I'm nesting all this so I'm not transitioning a boat load of layers.

I made everything in Photoshop. All three are separate PNG files. Red mask, white border and the center mask.

Un flatten a sequence with the little icon top left of the Sequence / Timeline Panel.

Yes it will show all the layers from the original sequence.  This is for a test to see what is going wrong with the blend.

If the sequence edit  is locked off...you can export it as a digital intermediate and use that in your sequence.

I know thats a work around only and it doesnt yet explain what is causing the mystery  issue.

Alphas can misbehave in PPro.
