  • Creating a mask with jagged edges

    Posted by Sascha Engel on November 4, 2014 at 9:43 pm

    Hallo Everybody,

    this is something I haven’t done in a while: I have to create a mask for a layer, that is not straight round or regular, but jagged and random line.
    In Photoshop I know how to make certain parts of the mask irregular with some random brushes.
    But in AE I only know how to draw mask with the Pen Tool, which is a regular line/round which can be only feathered in a regular and equal way.
    Any ideas or suggestions?

    thanx a lot!

    Greetings,

    Can you create your mask, then add the effect Stylize > Roughen Edges
