Yeah for sure. Beside the creative, the biggest dilemma for me starting each project is to precomp or not to precomp. For some reason half way into the project it usually feels like I made the wrong choice. Would love to have the best of both worlds. Or a bigger monitor to keep 2 linked comp windows open full size all the time

Indeed.  And this is why I'd love to have a twirl down to reveal and have access to precomp layers.  My #1 Feature Request.

Ah, so you do. Bit inconvenient for tweaking the text layers but there it is.

thanks Jim

I believe you have to precomp the text layer and matte to get the matte to work in 3D.

As the subject line says, I'm trying to add a track matte to a text layer in 3D space. For some reason this is not working for me. The matte layer is a basic solid with a mask applied. Tried both 2D and 3D matte. Seems a basic enough operation but clearly I'm missing something.

Any ideas why this is not possible?
