What I'm going to do is add a third layer …to this. And I'm going to do that by going to Layer > …New > Solid. And that's going to add a new solid layer …that I can use as a base with the effect that I want to create.…
So, creating a new solid just creates a solid colored layer that you can then …apply effects to. So, what I'm going to do is give this a name. …I'm going to call it Background Effect. And I'm going to stick with the default …settings, same size as my composition. And the color really doesn't matter and …so, we'll leave the color as it is, and click on OK. …And that's going to create a solid layer called Background Effect and you'll see …
