Well, no luck. I say I’m alright with After effects, but I was proven wrong. I’m not really grasping what to do with the matte. I drew a mask around the girl in the picture to pull her out of it. put another copy of the picture under the one with the mask, and used the threshold command. Got good results with the lights I want to glow being white dots. but I don’t really know how to get this to transfer having the real picture’s lights blinking.
Oh well, no big deal. This looked like it was going to work for me and be a good time saver, but can’t wrap my head around it, and it’s probably too hard to explain. Thanks though.
