  Masking

  Posted by Joakim Åberg on February 16, 2008 at 6:08 pm

  If I have two solids, I can choose the bottom one to “trkmat” the top one. If I got three solids, and I want both of the bottom ones to “trkmat” the top one, how do I do that? Why cant I just choose a mask like in photoshop?.. The thing is that I want to use fractal noise as mask on several solids. Is there another better solution for this?

  well,

  copy the layer and do the trackmatte for every single layer
  or just change the blending mode to stencil luma ( or one of the others, stencil) . This makes the layer a super trackmatte

  I tried to search for a thread on this but just didnt find what I was looking for Can anyone help?

  New to AE and trying to follow Emanuel Eriksson “Sand” tutorial, which I think is a really neat visual. However, I do not understand what to do on the second comp…

  ” Create a new solid mask it off and animate its position over about 2 seconds.”

  … and not getting the effect that is shown on the tutorial.

  thanks
