Compositing 2 Different Movies by Using Content Context Action Steps
Today’s post extends on our discussion yesterday about how to use Content Context action steps to associate images or movie files as default backgrounds for specific canvas layers.

Clone Painting from a Hidden Layer into the Current Canvas Layer
The image above is a snapshot of a recent work in progress. While working on this piece, i ran into a common problem. I wanted to be able to clone paint some imagery from a hidden layer into the current active layer, using a pressure sensitive clone paint tool. This post will describe how you can quickly build a pressure sensitive paint tool that allows for layer cloning.
Simple Example of Working with Alpha Enabled Painting
Yesterday we discussed working with source images that include an alpha channel, as well as working with one of more layers using an alpha enabled canvas view. Today’s post continues our discussion of working with alpha channels by showing how to work with the paint synthesizer in an alpha enabled view.
Simple Example Working with Alpha Channels and Layers
There’s been a lot of discussion recently on the Studio Artist User Forum about working with alpha channels. While there is no need to get involved with alpha channels to build paint effects in Studio Artist, there is a full set of alpha channel features available for those of you who wish to use them. This post will run through a simple example of using a source image with a built in alpha channel, and also working with an Alpha Enabled canvas view for alpha compositing multiple layers.
