    Make one mask, then click on the keyframe for mask shape. Skip about every 10 frames and adjust the points, this will make it pretty close. You can adjust from there. An easier way to do it is to do the first frams and the last frame and then go to the middle keyframe and adjust. Then just keep splitting between the keyframes. This way, you will have to move less points each time.

    Hi,
    I have a clip of about 30 Secounds Which is a Croma Shoot But Because of Lighting I Cant Key The Background colour. So i have to mask it. But i want That i took a Mask and add a key on mask shape and then rest of the key frames will automatically be done Like Discreet’s Smoke Machine.I mean to say that i didnt have to go to ervery frame or every 10th frame to add a key at mask shape. Or either i can do this by scripting.

    One more thing is this that i didnt have a good command on Scripting in After Effects but I want to Use scripting In my day Today projects.
    Is here any good institute In India Where I can get The knowledge about After Effects Scripting Part.

    Waiting for your reply
