Button targets all layers instead of only one

[Donleavy]

I am totally lost here, sorry. There must be some fundamental VDMX logic that I don’t understand.

I want some buttons to control the composition mode of only layer 1 and some other buttons to control the composition mode of only layer 2. No matter what I do, the buttons control all layers instead of only the specific layer to which they are connected. Is it a Media bin related problem? If so, I don’t understand the Media bin.

I have created a control surface. On that, I have created four buttons:
In layer 1 I have connected button 1 to the composition mode 'Add‘.
In layer 1 I have connected button 2 to the composition mode Difference’.
In layer 2 I have connected button 3 to the composition mode 'Add‘.
In layer 2 I have connected button 4 to the composition mode Difference’.

However, when I click on any button they change the blending mode on both layer 1 and layer 2.

What’s wrong? How to connect a button to a specific layer?

I hope you can help,
Br, Donleavy

Layer Blending Modes - Bug?

To clarify this point… Within a ‘group’ of layers, the OpenGL Add / Over modes are mutually exclusive with the more advanced composition modes (CoreImage, GLSL, Quartz Composer). VDMX will automatically switch the comp modes for layers within a group to handle this. A few notes: You will get the best performance when using OpenGL Add & Over modes. Use these whenever possible, especially for very high resolution situations! If using the more advanced options for composition, we recommend usin…

Try grouping your layers. Grouped layer blend modes will affect each other (for compatability). Right now, both Layer 1 and 2 are grouped under your Main Canvas Output.

If you add more layers and group them separately, they shouldn’t affect each other (I think).
