    Hi
    new here so hello.

    AE6.5
    i have a 15 second of surfer riding a wave
    i want to isolate the surfer from the background
    for the entire sequence,i had some thought of how to do it
    but it didnt work like iwant to(a mask’track motion)i think it need
    a tracking point for every point of the mask shape and i just couldnt understand
    how to do it,if the subject discussed before i couldnt find it’keywords will be nice
    and solution too.
    thanks
    Guy

    I would think you would have to draw a mask around the surfer for each frame or draw a mask using vector paint every frame. There is a tutorial in the tutorial section for after effects on this subject. I would think you could not use the half method for keying out the surfer if he is moving to fast. Then again you might want to try the color key effect on the clip, you might be able to key out the back round that way.
