  • haha yeah I’m actually kind of a beginner myself. Anyway masking is really basic but very important. It is hard for me to explain to you online. Just practice with it(try to create a square or something).The most important thing about a mask is that you need to close it.The default setting of the mask let it reveal all that is within the mask.Really, you’ll get it when you just keep playing around with it.

    can you explain what RAID is? I’m probably going to have to get a new computer . Ugh your quote is right, keeping up with technology is costing so much.

  • Michael is right. what you can do is right click the layer, go to time and click on freeze frame. then you can use pen tool to mask it out. However, there are sometime it is much easier to export to photoshop because of the wide arrange of selection tool (magic wand tool). To do that there are two ways. one is just to go to composition-save frame as-photoshop layer. the other way is to have a print screen capture of your desktop.

    as a side note there is a product call crazy talk which I found very helpful. Just google it and it might come helpful for you in this project. https://www.reallusion.com/purchase_ct.asp
    And no I’m not trying to advertise for them

    I need a better card for Maya and also for premier pro. Because previewing in premier is very laggy for me right now. I dont need to get it for CS5 because I like to have my 3rd party plug in. Also I don’t have a 64 bit computer for premier pro

    thanks for all the help…I’m deciding just to go buy a new video card…the one I have right now don’t even support open Gl. What does open GL do? and do you have any tips for which video card to buy?

  • Well Im not a pro but I usually export the freeze frame to photoshop and trace out the head with lasso tool, pen tool ect. then just import it back into after effect and have it on a different layer.
