MultiLayer

For complete information about using the MultiLayer node, see “

Using the MultiLayer

Node

” on page 478.

Outside

The Outside node places only one image outside of the mask of a second image.
Therefore, only the mask of the second image is considered in the composite; the color
comes from the foreground image. This is a great tool for mask layers.

Parameters

This node displays the following control in the Parameters tab:

clipMode
Toggles between the foreground (0) or the background (1) image to set the output
resolution.

Over

The Over node is the main compositing node of Shake. This node places one image
over another, according to the matte of the foreground image. Images are assumed to
be premultiplied. You can use an MMult on an input node if it is not premultiplied, or
you can toggle the preMultiply parameter to 1.
