Dew Compositing Masking Not Showing all Layers

Hello,

I am creating a movie Intro using a free template but for some reason all layers do not show through my masking layer. The Compositing Masking is Layer 1, Layers 2 is my intro Text, and Layer 3 is a video clip. The first three layers are visible. However, Video Layers 4, 5, and 6 are NOT visible. What am I doing wrong? Please help.

The masking is Layer 1, and is set for Compositing Mode Multiply.
Layers 2 through 6 are in Alpha Mode.

A posted screen capture of my screen can be found here:

I tested using Making Compositing Child Mode but that did not make Layers 4 through 6 visible either.

I am using Sony Movie Studio Platinum, Version 12.0, Build 1183. I am still learning how to use this software. I read and watched a bunch of videos about Compositing Masking but still stuck.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Carter

Hi,

A second image was loaded to my dropbox account. Please let me know if another screen capture is needed and if yes which area.

I cannot determine why all layers are not visible. When I mute or turn off layers 4 then layers 5 and 6 are visible.

Thanks for looking into this.

Hello Everyone,

The solos were turned off and the music was turned on. Unfortunately, Layers 5, 6, and 7 are still not visible. An updated screen capture image was posted to my drop box account showing the solos are off.

Hi Everyone,

Turning down the Compositing Levels resolved the issue. Ghee Whiz.

Thanks.
