  garbage matte ppro 5.5

  Posted by Gregg Grossman on July 2, 2011 at 12:22 pm

  like many i’m an fcp refugee.

  i understand there’s no native capability to feather / choke / smooth in pp that you’d have to do that in ater effects. since i’m just getting my feet w/ pp i dont want to have to start learning ae at the same time.

  question – is there a plugin for premiere pro that will handle this simply?

  thanks

  You can add a garbage matte to a black layer on top of your video, then blur that layer…instant feather (then track matte the video layer, and that mask is now applied to your video). Not a perfect solution, but it works for some instances.

  Boris Continuum has masking, and it works in Premiere – but, honestly, it doesn’t take very long to learn AE’s masking tools, and it would benefit you greatly to learn how the two applications work together.

  thanks for the tip chris. and yes, learning how the suite works, as a whole is certainly the way to go.
