  • AE CS6 Alpha cutout or knockout in a 3D scene?

    Posted by Paul Gale on June 22, 2012 at 9:34 am

    I’m wondering if this is possible:

    I have a 3D reasonably complex scene. It’s setup with motion blur and DOF too. I’d like to cutout a portion of one layer in that scene so that when I bring the video into Premiere Pro, I can layer it over the top of a video and have the video show through.

    What I’m after is some kind of effect or plugin or proceedure that allows a cutout in a layer but that also cuts out layers behind/beneath it in 3D.

    I guess I could pre-compose the entire scene and create a track matte but as there’s a lot of DOF blurring and motion blur, not sure if that would work very well?

    Any ideas?

    Many thanks,

    Paul.

    Paul, did you ever find a solution for this? I’m looking to do the same thing.
