I don’t think the Rotobrush will help you in this case. You’ll need to use the mask tool on the top hand to create the bottom part of your hand that is currently missing. The best thing you can do it take a picture of you or someone holding a paper just like you are in the photo and use that as a reference for what the bottom of your top hand would look like and then mask out your hand so it looks the same. Not sure if I’m making any sense.
For the bottom hand I would add some sort of shadow.

I don’t consider clients in the edit bay to be pest or unwelcome guest. This is their video not mine and they are paying for it. The first client I worked with in the edit bay was a Creative Director who moved here from one of the biggest Ad Agencies back East. I learned so much from him and I’m a better editor today because of it. I agree that working with a client can be nerve-raking because your creative abilities are on the spot, but collaborating with a client and building something great is very rewarding.

It isn’t unusual to have two people sitting on the couch in my edit-bay chiming in with their opinion. I work a lot with clients and that is part of the job. Maybe it is because I do a lot of corporate video (Work with their Marketing person) and TV spots (Work with Ad Agencies). Interacting with people is a big part of my job.

I would tell your daughter she can’t upload anything without your permission. If you help her get the channel up you will be able to monitor it.

The tracker is looking for contrast. Find a part of the knife were it really contrasts from the white shirt. Hope that helps and best of luck.

Sounds like you need to talk to an App developer or web person. After Effects isn’t meant for real time website graphics.

I think internships are a great opportunity to get your hands on some “real world” stuff for your reel and make great contacts as Mark mentioned. Who know, the company you do an internship just might hire you. I don’t remember the numbers but the book Knock ‘EM Dead is about getting a job and spends a lot of time on networking. It is something like 75% of jobs are not posted online or they already have picked their new employee and are listing because they have to. The company I work for has never listed a job in over 30 years. We hire people we have already worked with and know would be a good fit for us. Best of luck.

Yes, I agree that it would be cool to have Keylight in PPro. I came from FCP and their keyer sucks, so PPro’s keyer is a big improvement.
