Have you tried using the Rotobrush tool to isolate the person and place them on a separate layer on top of the “clean plate” you’re creating with the Clone tool?
Hope this helps!

Hi,
I know this may seem obvious but it’s caught me out a couple of times. Have you checked that you are in “Active Camera View”? If you are in one of the other views you will not be able to see the text if it is a 2D layer.

It sounds like a redraw error with Open GL. Have you tried switching off Open GL to see if it still happens then?

In Illustrator you can adjust the Artboard size to make sure it accommodates all of the image before importing into AE. Select the Artboard tool, click on the Artboard and either resize it manually to fit around the image, or enter numeric values.
To avoid this happening in the future you can use the Preset artboard sizes as templates when designing your artwork.
Hope this helps.

The Minus symbol can be typed using the number pad of your keyboard, it should be directly above the Plus symbol.

BTW, you can also apply the “Sepearate X, Y, Z” Dimensions preset to give you automatic controls that can be animated independently of the wiggler. Just another way of adding additional movement.
Hope this helps!

Hi there,
First of all, make sure that the Rotobrush has created the transparency you want by clicking on the transparency grid in the comp panel. You should see the grid where there is transparency. You can also use the Channel menu to view the Alpha before exporting.
Secondly, Prores 444 codec works with Trillions of colors so you need to be working in a 16 or 32-bit project to render that color depth. 8-bit’s won’t cut it I’m afraid, only Millions of colors!
Alternatives to try if you’re staying in an 8-bit project are the Animation Codec and the PNG codec, both of these render with Alpha and are lossless codecs.
Hope this helps.
cheers,

If you are only seeing this in your render and not in the preview within AE then it’s to do with your output settings. Make sure you render at best quality and that you use a codec that does not compress your footage in this way. The Quicktime animation Codec is a good choice.
hope this helps.
