  Quicktime to AE shape problem

  Posted by Gary Jarvis on September 25, 2011 at 4:52 pm

  Hi,

  I created a Qt from a ps animation, the animation is in the shape of a cloud, with characters dancing around in it. When I import into QT I have a cloud in a a black rectangle. what is the best way of omitting the black?

  Tks

  Why go through a QuickTime movie? Why not just bring the PSD file directly into After Effects?

  I thought it would be a smaller file than a 62 layer animation! The original was a qt vid that I extracted a portion of, duplicated, then reversed 1 copy in ps and combined so that it would show an even flow. The ps file is 52mbs at 1280×720 whereas the qt was762kb.

  As we know in ps, all one has to do is apple click on the layer and inverse delete, I was hoping there would be something similar in AE.
