  Trimming layer size

  Posted by Thethird on November 23, 2005 at 8:14 pm

  Hi, I’ve imported a PSD into After Effects 6.5 and one of the layers is only a small image, but the layer size is the size of the whole comp. Is there any easy way to trim down the size of the layer so it’s just around the image and not the entire comp? Thanks!

  Depends on the background…

  For simple shapes, or something that already has an alpha transparency channel, just use a mask to “crop” it down to size.

  If you have a solid background to get rid of, try playing with your keying effects.
