Hi,
I have this very weird issue with Harmony 16. If I hide a layer that is last connected (rightmost) to a composite, it hides the whole composite which effectively hides everything connected to that composite. Is this a feature or am I missing some very obvious setting? My current workaround is creating an empty drawing which I then connect to every composite but this solution is far from ideal. Any new drawing is automatically connected as last in composite.
This issue is only happening when I’m hiding a layer in timeline view. Hiding it in a node view works just fine even tho it should be the same thing but this isn’t solution. Is there a difference between hiding a layer in timeline and disabling it in node view??
The thing is in the timeline view the composite is inside the “Drawing” layer (because it’s the rightmost layer connected to it) and when I hide that layer it also hides the composite which also hides all other layers connected to it (Draing_2). I understand the composite has to be somewhere both in the node view and timeline view.
My guess is it’s just the way it is (even tho it used to be different in older versions), rather than any real issue. The problem is, most of the people I work with are used to just simply hiding the layer they don’t need during animation and hiding the last layer hides everything.
As I see it the only viable solution is to teach my coworkers to start using enable/disable shortcut instead of hiding layers unless you have some other solution?
Agreed. I understand why it is made this way. In lower versions the node view is not available so the composite HAS to be somewhere in the timeline but the way it is handled right now is not ideal. I wouldn’t mind composite being under the last drawing layer as long as it wouldn’t inherit it’s visibility state.
