    Hey,
    I am working on a fun little compositing project,thought I would brain storm for a second with the “CREATIVE COW.”
    I have two plates of a car driving. One blue car one white car. I am trying to reveal the white car from underneath. Both plates match. I have a few concepts I am working on, I was going for the effect of the paint being sandblasted off to reveal the white car, or even wet paint being ripped off from the high speed wind.
    I have basically been building mattes for the reveal from A-B and using a displacement map to simulate the contour of the car as the matte slips on and off. I am un-happy with my mattes they don’t really give me the effect I need. Anyone have any ideas?
    Cheers!

    Maybe try a Black Solid (comp Size), move it in the direction of the reveal (position keyframes over time), place it on top of the Red Car Layer, then set the Red Car to
    Alpha Matte, and add Effect > Stylize> Roughen Edges to the Black Matte.

    For Roughen Edges, I’d crank the Border up to 100+ and Scale 20 or so, then set keyframes for Offset(Turbulence) to get the a changing leading edge.
    So the layers are stacker:

    Black Solid
    Red Car
    White Car

    Maybe what your looking for.

    Opps, my test was on a red baloon, so sub in Blue Car for Red Car in the post above.
