Add a rippled reflection, part 1

- [Chris] In this two part example…I want to add a more exaggerated ripple effect…to the reflection in my photo.…So here in part one I'll begin…by opening the louvre.pyramid file in Photoshop…to show you the mask that I've created…before we import this into After Effects.…So basically I have a layer that I've duplicated.…On the top layer I added a layer mask…and on the bottom layer we can see the reflection…through the hole that's created by the mask.…So what we're going to be doing inside of After Effects…is applying a rippling effect to the reflection layer.…

So back in After Effects let's start with a New Project.…Then let's go to the File menu,…let's come down and choose Import,…choose File, and let's find the file…called louvre.pyramid.psd from folder four…in the chapter one folder in the exercise files.…I'm going to uncheck Create Composition,…we're going to set that inside of After Effects.…Let's come down and choose Open.…Then for Import Kind choose Composition.…For the options choose Merge Layer Styles into Footage…
