Hi @raphael ,

You can achieve this by using a global Texture variable:

1. In the Video Layer, click on the + (plus) icon of a global variables group and select Texture.
   

   

2. Insert a setter node into the layer.
   

   

3. Feed the Video Texture into the setter node and give the node a lifeline.
   

   

4. In the Notch Layer, dragging from the same global Texture variable, insert a getter node.
   

   

5. Feed the Texture from the getter node to the desired node.
   

   

I hope this was helpful.

Best,
Sara
