  “Choke Matte” equivalent in Apple Motion?

  Posted by Andrew Strugnell on May 15, 2017 at 12:06 am

  Hey team.

  I’m creating a text animation template. In the animation, multiple layers of coloured text assemble to reveal only one coloured layer of text.
  In my screenshot attached, there is a white edge appearing around my navy blue text.

  

  Is there a way to shrink the width of the proceeding layers of text by one or two pixels? Is there a technique similar to “choke matte” in After Effects?
  I feel like this is a simple fix, but I just cannot suss this problem out.

  Many thanks in advance!
  Andrew.

  You could try “Matte Magic” in the Keying category of filters. It has a Shrink parameter which is basically an alpha choke.

  You little beauty!
  Thank you Dirk. The “Matte Magic” filter was exactly what I needed. I reduced succeeding layers of text by 1.7px and the edges receded altogether.

  Cheers!
