Global effects on routed layers
Posted: Tue Feb 19, 2013 22:26
Hi,
In the past I've only used slices from the composition for mapping projects, but for a recent project I'm experimenting with using layers instead to reduce the size needed and craziness of the composition. I like to use composition effects for some simple things, namely brightness and contrast, trails and hue rotate, but I've found if I'm mapping using layers rather than slices from the composition, the composition effects don't apply. I realise one way around this is adding the effect to each layer and then mapping it to the same knob or button on my controller, but was wondering if there was a simpler way? Also blend modes don't make a difference with this technique, is there still a way of using them? Thanks!
