Hey,
I just watched this episode. Great as always. I wanted to mention that with the gradient mesh mask trick Corey did, I think you can make an opacity mask with live text also.

Why is there nothing showing up? It’s just blank where the video should be.

All I got was a blank screen. Who is the bright spark that filled the layer with black and forgot to change the blend mode.
