Set Matte is no good to me if I'm trying to get a matte from a text layer that's moving about in the frame. Also very often i'm using some sort of ramp/gradient/noise effect on a solid to generate a property map to plug into Particular or Compound blur or any other filter. Again, I'm having to precompose because these effects aren't processed before they're plugged into whatever filter I'm using. --f46d043d64b350c78d04cff7ddf0 Content-Type: text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable re: nodal compositing and track mattes:
