You need to change your anchor point on the layer in question to the bottom of the stem.
Click on the layer in question and press “A” to reveal anchor point controls.
A better way to make stuff grow though… reveal it with an animated stroke along a path on a separate layer, and use that as a luma and/or alpha matte for the branches.

1.Make both your original strokes slightly thinner
2.Duplicate your solid stroke, make it hard edged with a dark brown or black and place it under your other strokes.
3. Change the original strokes to feathered edges and it should look like it has a shadow along the edges, giving it the illusion of depth, and will help separate it visually from all the other brown rope when it becomes a knot.

Alternate idea… do a soft bevel on the alpha and maybe a little outer glow (dark color). You may have to precomp for this to look right.

The “banding” you see is the interlaced frames. Yes it is normal. That’s what 3:2 pulldown looks like.
Just make sure you added the right kind.
Upper field first for HD
Lower field first for SDMy Work:

He’s saying you won’t notice the difference once it’s rendered anyway….. Tell me if I’m wrong.

Hard to know how it works without reading the documentation.

Take the time to learn what the plugs do.

When u render it out you need to add 3:2 pulldown into it. Its in your render settings. It will give you a rendered framerate of 29.97.
If it is SD use lower field first. If it is HD you use upper field first.
You dont need to change the comp framerate just the render settings.
Bing. Done.

I don’t really understand the fringe question… and it’s hard to see in your video.
As for Key correct. It has a 30 day trial… fully functional. Buy it after if you like it.
https://www.redgiant.com/products/all/key-correct/When footage is too compressed, you will find yourself with 2 options usually. Hair with noise in the fringe. Or, A very tight key with no detail on the hairs edges. Depending on how much your subject moves you can sometimes key out one frame of the hair as best you can, and then track that back onto the hair to give it some detail to the edge… I have done this many times… but it has to be done well.

First of all, remove the “selective color effect” altogether. If you use that on hair you will never get a good key on it.
Second. Do you have the comping plugin set from red giant called “Key Correct”? If not… get it.
There are many tools to help you get good results on hair.. like the spill suppressor which I like better than others… edge blur… all kinds of stuff. I really think this tool-set is needed to do good hair. Maybe not needed… but definitely helps.
Third. Was the footage shot on a 5D or 7D onto a internal card? This compresses the footage to h264 and makes getting a good hair key nearly impossible. It’s hard to key compressed footage… bottom line.
Fourth… If you are having a hard time getting a good color key I know that can be keyed with a “Luma Key”… just put a threshold followed by levels on just the hair footage , tweak them until the hair is black and the green is white, and use the luma key for the hair. Or skip the luma key and just make the resulting black and white image of the hair a luma matte for the original footage underneath.

See if it opens in premiere. If it does, send it back to AE and see what happens.

Your link doesn’t work… but a trail of dots can be made quite easily in about a hundred different ways.
