- In this movie,…we'll take our dark mansion with its brightly lit windows…and we'll dress it up with this moon and a couple of bats.…And so I'm going to start things off…by switching over to the batface moon composition…from last week.…And I'm going to select the moon,…just by dropping down to the circular vector mask…here inside the Layers panel,…and I'll Control + click on it here on the PC.…That would be a Command + click on a Mac.…Now I'm going to copy everything that's visible,…so I'll go up to the Edit menu and choose Copy Merged.…And that's going to copy a flat version…of the moon along with these three bats here.…
Now I'll go ahead and move over…to my lit windows composition…and I'll click on the window layers,…the top layer in the stack, to select it.…And then I'll just press Control + V,…or Command + V on a Mac,…in order to paste that moon.…Alright, now I'm going to rename that layer,…Moon, of course.…And now I need to scale the moon,…but I want to do so nondestructively.…So I'll right-click on the moon…
