Adding Claw Mark Effects
Can anyone point me to a tutorial on how to create a claw mark that actively swipes across a piece of video. I’m using FCP 5.0.4 and AE 6.5pro on OS10.4 G4 MDD FW800 1.4dual. Many thanks.
Kind Regards,

I whipped this together for you. Make your mask a bit more complex, and you can make it look a good deal better. But, you get the idea…
Overlap your a and b video
Just make a black layer, and animate the claw marks into it using the mask tool, and animate the mask (NOT THE POSITION, BUT THE MASK!!!)
Then, apply the black solid as an inverted alpha track matte to the A clip.
then use roughen edges to make it not so clean
boom, you got yourself a claw wipe.
For added fun, you can snap off a picture, (or download) of a tiger or whatever claw, mask it off and animate that over it…
If you want your video to “shred” instead of a single claw mark, just add more masks to the black layer tearing it apart…
have fun…
