Just use the white layer as a “luma matte” to get your transparency.
Good Luck

Absolutely. Just Pre-Compose the layers and follow the same process.
Good Luck.

Using CC Snow:
Make your solid black, set the blending mode to add.
Use as a “Luma matte”.
Good Luck.

Hi Brian,
If I am understanding you correctly:
You can actually do this with only one photo. Drop your BG photo into a comp. Apply Effects>Distort>Offset. Change X position to the middle of the comp/ Use the Clone tool to remove your seam (now in the middle). Then duplicate the layer>move it to the left or right edge. Parent it to the first layer.At 00:00 set position KF for layer 1. Move out a couple of seconds and move the layers X position value so that layer 2 is full on screen. End your work area there. Page Down 1 frame and move the 2nd KF there. That way the last frame is also your first frame. Ram preview and you have a seamless loop.
Once the left and right edges were the same, you could also just use CC Repetile to duplicate the image.
Good Luck-Don -
That shot sure looks like something AEs built-in (pre CS4) can handle. Are you tracking RGB or luminance?
The tracker will sometimes nail-it first go, but other footage requires many attempts and trying different points.Don

Hi Steve,
I think what you are more likely talking about is your KF is linear rather than bezier.
Ctl+Alt (Cmd+Opt on Mac)click on it and the handle(s) will be there. Sometimes the bezier handle is just hard to see too depending on your magification or the time between KFs.Good Luck.

Carolina,
Simulation> CC Ball Action might be something that can help you. I don’t know what the file you are trying to twist is though.
Here is an example:Good luck.

Would wiggling the “mask expansion” property work?
