John – wow. Yup, that’s it. Thanks for the effort – the effect doesn’t seem as “clean” as the tutorial but it’s definitely working!!

James – Hi. I got John’s test footage working and then I had a look at the compositing mode on track 2 – it was set to “difference” and not “multiply” – which is not what the directions say – but the effect was finally working. When I changed it to Multiply I couldn’t get it to work again. Anyway I’m not sure that this is going to help me like I thought it was – back to the green screen. Lol

ok, That’s finally working. I’m going to try it with my own footage again – who knows maybe I’ll stumble on it, thanks James

Thanks James, I’ll give it a try again – seems awfully fiddly – I uploaded a file as well in a previous post with my raw footage – can’t get that to work either. Frustrating………….

John, Pete – thanks for giving this a go. I’ve never been able to get it to work and as far as I can see I’m following the instructions to the letter. Maybe it’s the footage I’m using? I’ve tried it with a couple of different shots but I’m at a loss – can you get this clip to work?

Ok, got the version numbers screwed up. I’m on version 321 which as far as I know is the latest version. I’m thinking that there’s some “preferences” settings or something that is preventing this or????
I just loaded your file “as is” and it’s obviously working for you but there’s something here that’s screwing this up somehow. But thanks for the grand effort – very much appreciated!!!
-
John – yes, that’s the effect!!!! Lol. But when I load your files from dropbox I don’t get that. This is actually driving me quite crazy, well Ok, that’s not a drive it’s a walk but you get the idea. I’m updating from 321 to 331 to see if that fixes it. I’ll let you know,

John – here’s what happens when I open your file – is this how it’s supposed to look??

I gave it a go again – I can’t get the text behind the mask. I’m assuming you moved the Levels FX after you did the 2nd track multiply mode. I tried moving it after but the bloody hell text won’t get behind the foreground mask.
If you want to send me the .veg file I would appreciate it. I’m baffled at this point,
Allan

OK John, thanks for the update – I’m going to try to recreate it,
Allan
