    Where is the best place(s) to get the higher end looking clipart that people use in mostly the AE projects? I wanted a silhouette of a podium then a male silhouette speaker comes up behind it. I have the digital juice Juice Drops, including the new collection and the Photo Knockouts, just looking for more avenues.I see all these flashy spots these days which are clipart/graphics put in motion in AE.

    Thank you,
    Tony

    I’m a frequent user of iStockphoto.com/.

    Thanks Micah, I’ve used them before for photos so I’ll have to look into their clipart. This is another good place: https://www.thinkstockphotos.com

    Draw it in Illustrator. That way you have nice vector art in AE (when you hit the continuously rasterize switch).

    Or draw the masks yourself in AE.

    Or copy and paste paths from custom shapes in Photoshop.
    That’s probably better for you since you don’t really want to draw it yourself. There are a lot of custom shapes for Photoshop on the Adobe Exchange.

    Hi Michael, I thought about tracing an image out and filling it in black, I’d have to really get out of my green zone for Illustrator especially to draw something out. Didn’t think about the objects on the Adobe Exchange so thanks for that tip!

    I’ll throw in a second nod to https://www.istockphoto.com. I’ve used their silhouettes extensively.

    Seems like https://www.flickr.com/ is a good one to.
