Applying Operators to Nested Layers

When you apply operators to nested layers, the operators modify the nested composite that is in the nested layer.

In the following example, the shot in the lower right corner of the composite is itself a composite of two layers, a talent keyed over a background. It stands out because it is too bright and clear.

The following procedure explains how to apply filters to this nested composite so that it blends into the rest of the image.

To apply an operator to a nested layer:

1. In the Workspace panel, double-click the composite that contains the nested layer.



2. Select the nested layer.



3. From the Operators menu, choose an operator.

The operator is applied to the output of the composite in the nested layer.



4. Adjust the operator controls, and apply additional operators if needed.

The operators modify the output of the composite over its entire duration.

In this example, note how the nested composite in the lower right corner is modified to look more like the other images in the composite.
