Masking Problem - Glint

can somone tell me why it goes black and all? And if you have time and bored outta ur mind, fix it?

The reason it is black is because a mask is just that, a mask. It only allows things underneath to show through. So the design that you had was only serving a sort of a window for what’s underneath and you can’t see the design. What i did was copy that design and put it on a layer under the glint effect. Now it works.

Actually, that didn’t work. I accidentally left the new layer i created masked, which isn’t right. So i unmasked it, then changed your gradient on the glint so that it was white in the middle, and white with zero alpha on the sides. This works, but when i tested the movie it was very weird, so not quite sure what happened.

but it still has that little glitchy thing though =( I want just the white part of the gradiant to go through
