  • how to square up a choke matte?

    Hey guys,

    just wondering how I can trick up a stroked outline of a keyed out actor…
    ie.. I understand how to create the simple choke around the key and
    tint it with colour thanks to aharon..

    Its just that I need to make the matte have square edges instead of smooth…
    notpixel like.. just rough straight lines that follow the matte..

    any ideas out there?

    Maybe using the “Scribble” plug-in, if you have used in conjunction with the fill of your actor, if might give a nice squiggly effect.

    There’s always the ‘brush strokes’ plug-in, too. Not quite as effective, though.
