    Hi,
    Is it possible to mask objects in SE? By that I mean “masking” an object (A Building) so that an effect ( a flamethrower) appears to go behind the building in a video clip?
    Thanks

    No, SE is lacking both layers and Blocker objects, making masking a difficult task. You’d have to do any masking in an editor or compositor.

    Hi Elvis,
    Thanks for the reply. I’m assuming that PI3 does this and I also noticed that at one time there was a “special” sale to upgrade from PI SE to the full blown version of PI. (It has expired). I guess I’ll wait to see when (or if) PI has another of those sales.(Cost was a consideration when choosing between PI3 and PI SE). Thanks again for the reply.

    There’s a post by Alan a few days ago that talks about an extension on the latest SE to 3.0 upgrade sale, good until tomorrow.
