| In this section, you'll create a new parent composition to contain both the Background comp and Logo Comp. You'll add a few effects to soften the background and animate the Logo Comp so that it appears to slice right through the background: 1. | Create a new comp named CH5 Master Comp, using the same settings as before (NTSC DV, 720x480 preset, Frame Rate 29.97, and Duration 5;00 seconds).
| 2. | Place the Background comp into the Timeline at time 0;00.
| 3. | Place the Logo Comp at time 0;00 and above the Background layer in the Timeline.
The Master Comp Timeline so far  | 4. | Turn on the 3D switch for both layers so that you can rotate the logo around the Y and Z axes and create some special effects with the background.
| 5. | Add three Position keyframes to the Logo Comp layer:
At time 0;00, values 360, 240, 300 At time 0;20, values 360, 240, 300 At time 02;00, values 360, 240, 10
| 6. | Go back to time 0;20, and add a Y Rotation keyframe to the Logo Comp layer with a value of 0 x 80. This positions the logo at an angle away from the viewer.
The logo's starting angle 
| 7. | Go to time 1;10, and change the Y Rotation to 0 x 0.0 to turn the logo to face the viewer.
| 8. | To adjust the positioning of the logo in the Comp window, set a 100, 100% Scale keyframe at time 1;10, and then go to time 2;00 and change the value to 80, 80%.
| 9. | To soften the background so that the title logo stands out more, apply Effect > Blur & Sharpen > Fast Blur to the Background layer, and set Blurriness to 30.
