It really helped going through the motions and thinking it through along side you. Thats how it actually is when I am mucking about in After Effects. Do more unscripted videos please :) Thank you!

Find Background color 4. Take pipette and take the color of your solid layer I figured out, you just need to change background color of composition, so probably follow this steps:

Problems like that occur in real professions life + great to see how you worked through it, came up with a better solution, and didn't give up. Disappointed that you didn't show how you made the paint textures, brush stroke edges, and the white dots- would still love to know how you created that. Overall great tutorial- I'm a new fan!

How are you seeing your 2d background solid through your 3d solids by way of custom view 1? Every time I do this custom view 1 gives me the animation but only with the solid black composition background. Am I missing a step? I've seen you do this twice now without changing any additional settings. Everyone I ask is of the mind that custom view doesn't work the way you're showing, so how is it being done? I’m so confused.
