How to do this freeze affect?

[Matt Callac]

It’s possible to do it in motion…but slightly easier in After Effects. At least I find keyframing masks easier in AE.

Essentially the same concept (multiple times)…only you would have to be masking your moving video layer(s) rather than your freeze frame layers.

A similar but different way to do it in Motion:

Great thanks for link – I wonder since my original post’s video is simply shot against an outdoor wall with no transparency, alpha, how would one app this FX? And would one simply reduce the amount of particles to make it match my original post’s video?

Thanks

Is that shot a lock down or is it handheld? If lockdown, you would simply mask out the guy and composite the FG over the BG, kind of like what the Video Copilot tutorial shows.

Correct.

Thanks for helpful replies, I’ll give it a go reducing the particles and see.

Thanks

Have you shot this footage already? If you have a clean plate, (no character in the screen) you can use that for your BG as well.

You’re right, I haven’t shot yet, I will try to get a clean BG as well…I’ll try just a few particles in MOTION and see…

Thanks

Yeah, testing is always good. The easiest way to shoot this to lock down the camera, get yourself a clean plate to always fall back on, and then shoot the person moving through the scene without moving the camera so your FG and plate match.

Make sense?

[Kent Beeson]

Got it…
