Thanks Mohsen. Good ideas there. I had forgotten about UnMult – I’ll start using that again.
Re: using Stroke, that’s a good technique, but I find it has some flaws. I compared the result of that vs my method, and while they’re similar, using the Stroke layer style gives me a very aliased outer edge for some reason (I tried to attach a screengrab but it wasn’t working).
Also, I then don’t get JUST the stroke – it’s still filled as well. If I want to get it to work on top of other footage, I need to fill the layer with black, then put it on Lighten/Screen/Add, which is likely fine in most cases but not all.
Thanks for the tips!
