  Travel Matte

  Posted by Rolanda on August 8, 2005 at 8:12 am

  Im trying to figure out how to do a travel matte Alpha. As I follow lesson 3, I have the transparance in my viewer, however, when i drag it into the time line, then click Alpha Luma, it’s not giving me that special effect like in the tutorial. The the paint brushed image is a bold white behind my broll footage. Not creating a transparent effect What am I doing wrong?

  Hi Rolanda
  Not sure about this specific tutorial – but to use a travelling matte I usually put the background video on layer 1, the forground footage on layer 3, then the matt between them on 2. Next ctrl click layer 3 and choose composite mode from the menu then Alpha or Luma depending on the type of matte you have. Easy as! Hope it works.
  God bless

  You asked the same question in an identical thread down below. I think Chris gave you the answer you’re looking for.
