    Posted by Dave Stout on July 27, 2009 at 4:24 pm

    I know bb6 uses original files when u use match move but is ther any way to use the layer of the composite for the match move? When I grn screen a layer and try to match a movement of another layer all I get is the entire layer, not the green screened area. Also tried masking but I just get the entire layer. Please help, someone. I know it should be able to be done, it’s a simple proceedure so I would assume!
    Please I beg of you, HELP

    Hi Dave,

    You’ll need to precomp the greenscreened layer before using it with the matchmove filter. What host are you using?

    Cheers,

    Peter.

    Adobe AE CS4
    Thanks
    I’m not on my pc right now so I forget the exact name for the effect. but I did use the effect to remove moving objects
    from the comp. To mask a moving object. If I save movie of this mask is ther a way I can render just the mask without any back ground? Does this make sense?

    Hi Dave,

    I think the filter to which you are referring is the BCC Motion Key. Indeed, on suitable shots it works great for removing moving objects from a scene however, it does not have the capability to render out a mask of the moving object. It’s something that we have discussed in the past though and perhaps we will offer that in a future update.

    Cheers,

    Peter.

    I don’t know Peter, I swear I used motion key and used show mask then made a movie of that using QuickTime and the option RGB and Alpha. Then imported that back into project and mathched moved it with my turtle background. I’ll try that again to make sure that was the sequence but all I knw is that it worked and worked well!
