    $\begingroup$ The view layer for the shadow catcher should not have the ear, just the shadow catcher. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2021 at 20:55

    $\begingroup$ Also layers with alpha channel should be combined using the alpha over, and use the mask as fac. Also try multiplying the shadow catcher opacity. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2021 at 20:57
  • $\begingroup$ @susu The shadow catcher layer requires the ear in order to cast the shadow doesn't it? Anytime I delete it it deletes it from the other view layer as well for some reason. Also how do I multiply shadow catcher opacity, a gamma node? $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2021 at 21:20

    $\begingroup$ You need the object to cast the shadow, but not the object itself on the layer. Multiply is one of the modes for the mix node. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2021 at 21:46
  • $\begingroup$ @susu Thank you very much it is working now ! $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 5, 2021 at 21:59
