  • Turning a Transparent Page?

    Posted by Mark Von wahlde on May 16, 2009 at 6:55 pm

    I’d like to animate a stenciling effect, then peel the stencil off of the background.

    My problem is that I’d like the turning part of the stencil to be transparent (in necessary areas) so that you can see through the transparencies in the turning part of the stencil down onto the part of the stencil that is still flat on the screen.

    I’ve been experimenting with CC Page Turn, and no luck so far.

    Any ideas?

    How are you making this stencil? Transparent images seem to work fine with CCpage – and even the back color respects the images alpha.

    If you’re making it with a track matte system you’ll need to pre-compose the layers (Layer > Pre-Compose) and then apply the page turn to that comp.


    Only in after effects do children get to pick and whip their parents.
