17.Select web 5 set a Z position of 800 a Z rotation of 200 and an opacity of IN 20 OUT 100
Moving the layers on their Z position and giving them a slight rotation will give them depth
18.Go to the beginning of the time line

25.Rename the web.psd composition to step 1 render out
26.Save the file as BW web BKG
27.Render the file as BW web BKG, premultiplied with no alpha we need to pre-render the web before adding the next effects or the render time will be quite long
28.Import the BW web BKG into your project
29.Create a new NTSC D1, 720x486 preset, composition set the duration to 12:00 and name it render out
