mimicking lo-fi video interruption for green screen shot characters
i’m embarking on a green screen shoot involving two dancers and a separate actress, i know at one point in the sequence i would like to mimic the color quality of super lo-fi video images (old vhs) and would like to have one of the characters come in and out as if through a broken signal where pieces or strips of them appear like static breaking up and then suddenly the whole person appears before resuming being broken up. i hope this makes sense.
i have a pretty good understanding of how to achieve this color quality with ae and final cut but am at a loss of how to achieve the effect of the entire person being broken apart and forming as a whole. any ideas? would it involve mulitple layers?
this forum has been nothing but helpful, i look forward to any input,
hope everything is well with everyone,ignacio

Would scatter work?

i would want something a little more dramatic and the pieces breaking off and reforming not to be uniform, is this possible with tweaking scatter?

thanks so much, there’s enough there to play with to achieve the effect i want.
take care,ignacio

so i tried to complete the tutorial and got stuck once i had to combine the two elements (animated interference and keyed footage). when i place these two clips in the timeline only the bottom layer (in this case my keyed footage of an actor) allows for a track matte (the top layer doesn’t show the pulldown menu). if i move my animated strip so that it’s the second layer, it then has the pulldown menu but if i select alpha matte it just shows that animation full screen, the actor is gone.
why is it that only the bottom layer in the timeline allows for a track matte? anyways, i’m a newb to ae and often run into problems with tutorials sometimes cause i have no formal training so i’ve just been picking up details along the way, that said, any input would be huge since i really want to achieve this effect for a shoot i have coming up. thanks again,
ignacio
