re-coloring only part of an animation
Hi. I’m not even sure AE can help, so please forgive me if the question is not relevant to this forum. Basicaly, I have an avi movie of a plane that is landing and I want to change the coloring of the plane’s flaps in red. The problem if I use a mask is that the flap region changes as frames go by. How should I go about tackling this problem? Thanks!

If the plane’s flaps are a different colour to the rest of the plane already, then this tutorial on the COW might help:

Thanks. Unfortunately the flaps are the same color as the rest of the plane. I did manage to get to change the shape of masks as time goes by in the movie. Now I just need to change the color inside the mask. Any hints?

If you already have animated masks, then one way to do it would be to use a colour effect of some sort to affect the areas inside the masks.
If you only have a single layer, then dupe it, and delete the masks from the lower layer. If your masks are set up right, you should have a layer with just your flaps showing, above the full image. If you affect the masked layer, you should have it…?Enzo Tedeschi

Put a new color layer on top of the airplane. Cut the animated masks from the airplane layer and paste them into the color layer above.
