I’ve been able to do it before – what types of errors are you getting? Dumb question: do you have enough space on your hard drive to store all of your large rendered Tiffs? AE may also have problems with any big source material that you may be working with, like ultra-high-res images…

Hm, I can’t seem to access the link in the US. You may want to toy around with the “Fast Blur,” “Hue/Saturation” and “Noise” effects for a start, though. I know I’ve seen a lot of ‘old TV’ tuts around Creative Cow.
Hope this helps!

Could please you clarify what you mean by “tented mask”? Thanks!

Alright, go ahead and strike my last post from the record – I now see that anything rendered Straight/Premult as opposed to RGB ONLY will give the proper alpha.
Thanks again, guys – you really clarified things for me!

Todd and Dave:
You guys are the best!
I tried rendering the Fill with RGB only, but was still getting the halo. After a few tests with a few variations, the only combination (of Matte and Fill) that worked for me was rendering the Matte, and rendering the Fill with RGB+Alpha Premultiplied. This gave me absolutely no halo (which I will certainly look into). Does this even make sense?
Thank you again for all of your help and patience!

Wow, this is great – thanks for the quick response everyone!
I tried doing the method mentioned above, and have one remaining question. When rendering out the Fill, do I render RGB only, or do I render with an alpha? I tried doing a test while rendering RGB for fill, with a separate Matte pass. The Matte turned out great, but when I brought both renders back into AE, I’m getting a black halo around my image when using my Matte as the source for a luma matte.
Thoughts?
Thanks for everything!!!

Not a problem, Tim. I also posted my inquiry to CGTalk, and spoke to someone who wrote some Coffee code which seems to be working. Check it out and let me know:

Hey Tim,
I was able to get something similar using a Random Effector with a Cloner Object set to Grid, but it’s just not the same. While I am able to affect movement on an individual axis at a particular time, it really does not give me the specific grid alignment I’m looking for, unless I’m missing something.
Thank you SO much for your quick reply!!!!!
