Image Masks?
Hi there!
Is there anyway that I can achieve an image mask in After effects?
If not, is there another method I can try to achieve the desired result:
My composition:
Layer 1: Footage of outside scenery
Layer 2: A Photoshop image of a volcano with an alpha channel.What I am trying achieve:
Import the PSD volcano image with a mask attached into After Effects. I then want to hide the volcano image below the mask, and then animate the volcano image moving upwards to reveal itself.*Making the volcano image look as though it is coming out from the ground in the footage on layer 1.
The mask has a rough texture to it, and using the pen tool instead to create a mask is not the look i am after.
Thank you,
Jess -
