    I’m having a brain fart right now and I can’t remember how to simply seperate the color channels for of a video.

    Ex : I want to be able to get my Red, Green and Blue colors of the same video on different layers

    You can use set channels and map the channels that you don’t want to see to off.

    This looks pretty cool. I have gotten as far as the making the matte for the three different channels. At least I think I did it right. I duplicated the three channels that I have made. red, green, and blue. Then I made the bottom ones have a track matte with it set to Luma Matte. Is that Correct?

    Now how does one combine the red and blue to go over the green like they do in the video? And further how do they then combine the the last stage to make the final look? I haven’t delved into this end of After effects before so I am quite in the dark about this.

    Thanks.

    I was thinking about asking Patrick about making this available in Motion so you might see if he would make a plugin that is compatible for both AE and motion.

    Ya, that forum gives you a plugin for FCP, but I want to be able to do it in After Effects.
