Highlighting Hockey Player in Motion
Hi,
I have been taping a high school hockey player to compile a highlight DVD for a college scholarship and was wondering the best way in either Premiere Pro CS3 or After Effects CS3 to highlight the player as he skates quite rapidly up and down the ice.
I would appreciate any ideas or suggestions.
Thank you,

In Premiere the term is Track Matte, read the Help files for details but basically works like this;
one instance of your video in V1 with Levels applied to brighten it considerably.
another instance of your video in V2 directly above the one in V1.
In V3 is your track matte, a pure white image with a pure black circle in the middle.
Apply the Track Matte effect to V2. In the Effects controls for V2, point the effect to the location of the Track Matte (V3), the type of matte=Luma. Choose Reverse if things are backwards.
You will then need to animate the position and scale of the matte to cover and follow the skater. -
