More #friction2d tips on #peertube

Thanks to @tonton for showcasing the power of #opensource #foss and how open file formats remove the barriers that are common in commercial applications.

This video shows how files from #inkscape can be imported or linked, which works very much like a dynamic link in #aftereffects ... where changes made to the original are updated in #friction

The application is going thru heavy development, but it's heading in an amazing direction!

- Select **two Path Layers**
- In the **topbar menu**, in **Path** category, select an operation
- You can use **Union, Difference, Intersection, Exclusion, Division** operations
- You can also **Combine** or **Break Apart** to combine **separate Path Layers into one**, or **break a Path Layer with multiple Paths into separate Layers**

Friction Quick Tip #12 - Path Operations

In Friction, you can combine different path through path operations. They are also known as boolean operations.

Do you know @friction ? It is an awesome open source 2d animation software, early stage, which could replace #aftereffect

Text :
- In transform section, add transform effect "Parent" to the child layer.
- In the effect, setup the target (parent).
- The layer is now a child of the selected parent layer.

If two "Parent" effects are used on the same layer, only the last one is taken into account.

Text :

- setup two layers, one mask (above) and one to be masked (below)
group them together
- set the mask (above) blend mode (math operation between this layer and below) to DstIn to have it "cut" through the entire composition using alpha channel
to limit the effect to the layer(s) in the group only, promote the group to layer, so the blend modes would not be retain outside of this group, interacting with the rest of the composition.
