    So I was womdering, in order for someone to turn into the Matrix-like code, would you mask them out and then change the mask source to the footage of code running? If the footage had a black background and I turned it to screen to makemitmtransparent, of course.

Do you even know? Is it freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Anderson. Vagaries of perception. Temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify an existence that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Anderson. You must know it by now. You can\’t win. It\’s pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Anderson? Why? Why do you persist?\”

    Oh. Well, I was trying to fill a person’s hole with the code. I thought you could just mask out the person and use it as a track matte, since I can’t change into my costume and re shoot myself on the green screen.

    Well, I’m on an incredibly low budget here, I’m not a professional editor for anybody, yet. So I don’t have a team kf people working with me.

    1. dl this

    2. key this: (a person)
    3. use ae’s displacement map or different precomped track matte as (layer-the keyed person)
    4. grab a lotte.
