  Inverse garbage matte ?

  Posted by Greg Gefell on December 1, 2005 at 6:07 pm

  Is there an easy way to create a hole in an image so the layer underneath shows through? Prefereably not by creating a photoshop mask either.

  You could always reverse the tracks. Just garbage matte the part you want to be visible on top of the other track.

  There is no way I know of to reverse the matte.

  The titler has objects that cut through to an alpha channel.

  Inversing a garbage matte is a feature I would like ( I have put in a feature request). It is handy if you wish to keep the “outside” of the garbage matte to create a frame for an insert. eg a TV set or a billboard. The problem with workarounds is that you need to “draw” your garbage matte on the actual clip eg the TV set, not on the clip image that you want to insert.

  It is available in AE ( as an Inverse Check box)so would seem simple enough.
