Thanks Chris,
I did watch that tutorial but he uses pre made shapes to create the matte and I need to draw around the head and shoulders of the actor (does not need to animate).
The title creation does have a pen tool that you can draw around the head and shoulder with but it just leaves a line where you draw, you can adjust the thickness of the line but unless I’m missing something it doesn’t create a matte or mask in the center of the lines you draw like the pen tool in After Effects does.
If I’m missing something please let me know. Thanks!
