Alpha Matte Creates White Borders
Hello,
I have to animate a snake eating its own tail. So, in the main comp there is its body, and other comp is its head. I want to add texture to them. When I apply Track Matte, it creates a white border, I guess it has something related to composition’s lack of a background.
How can I get rid of that border? Or is there any way to apply the same texture to 2 different vector layers?

Would the Simple Choker effect fix it for you?

Hello Mark,
I tried that on every layer with every option :), I could not completely understand what it does but, it didn’t work.

Hi Melisa,
I’m about to head of to work so can’t dig into it very deep just now. It might have something to do with the transfer modes you’ve set, but if not I’ll ask some more specifing things to look at later tonight.

We usualy don’t use track mattes with the matte turned on. I’m not saying this is causing the white border (unless your matte is white) but try to set every matte’s blend mode to normal and keep their video switch off. Duplicate them if you must and you can turn those on and set them to multiply.
You should apply the simple choker effect with a positive value on the snake head’s composition to fix the border. (It should eat up any pixels close to your alpha)
You can apply a texture to the whole snake if you precompose the head and the body on another comp and apply the texture like you would normaly do.

I changed it to 16 bit but still there is a line 🙁

Simple choker effect still leaves a white line. I changed the textures color to green, still a white line.
Yes, pre-composing it worked. Yesterday I could not appyl track matte to a pre-comp, but today I could do it. I don’t understand but the problem is solved now.
Thank you so much for your help!
Best
