- Mattes are a really important thing to know how to use in your After Effects workflow. But they can be kinda confusing if you don't know what the terms used to describe them mean, and how they can actually be useful to you. In this tutorial I'm going to walk you through a bunch of different ways to set mattes in After Effects.
Feel free to ask questions or leave feedback in the comments! And if you have any ideas for other tutorials, I'm all ears!

Perfect video. I can't believe there is a video for everything in youtube these days. Thankyou for putting out such a straightforward and easy to understand video. This is amazing for anyone who wants to learn.
Again, though I know and used Mattes a lot, I watched this and you didn't disappointed me Jake. Using transform effect to mimic the original mattes is what I get from this vlog and then that "Preserve Underlying Transparency" I was thinking like what the heck is that button was. Will be helpful if you do a video on all other blending modes, though the blending modes are common around all other design tools, I want you to do a video on that which make me understand the modes clearly.
Hey Jake, it's so great to have these fundamental walk throughs on CZcams. I would have loved to see focused bite-size lessons of this caliber when I first opened AE!
Thank you! And me too! That's what I'm hoping to build for the current generation of AE users.
I never understood mattes properly until now. Thank you so much!
Thanks for a great tutorial. As a beginner in After Effects this really helped me understand the effect and its many uses. Can't wait to see more on your CZcams channel.
I feel like I knew this, BUT it's awesome to get a refresher course and really make sure I'm understanding each one correctly. Quick tips and tricks as well as explaining why something works the way it does is ALWAYS an appreciated lesson.
You are hands down the best teacher when it comes to After Effects on the whole wide web. I love your skillshare courses and in videos like these i always find comprehensive answers to small problems i encounter during work.
Other teachers will tell me how to solve my problem. You help me understand how to solve my own problems.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Wow!!!!! I have been using track mattes for years dragging my confusion along with me. Thanks for clearing this up so completely and concisely.
Thank you Jake for in depth explanation and clearing the concept of a particula tool.
Thank you so much for this video man. I've been searching for a good explanation of Mattes because I just don't understand how it works and finally I came across your video and BAM! My life is complete.
Thank you very much for your tutorial. I knew what I wanted to do when I was editing my footage, but struggled to find anything online that would suffice for my needs. This helped solve a bunch of my issues. Thank you very much Jake in Motion.
Wowzers, this was such a great video Jake! Thanks so much for taking the time to explain this!! I've learned so much!
To understand the layers is such a hard thing and you delivered pretty good though. Thanks for your support!
Really nicely done. You are a great teacher. Nice pace, great topic, awesome narration.....Keep it coming!
Hi Jake, the way you describe its so clear and easier to understand. Thank you so much

I needed this so much. Thanks! 🙏🏾

So easy to understand! Thank you.
Great lesson. Thank you so much.
Great tutorial!
Nicely explained... thank you
Hi Jake, thanks for this tutorial on mattes. I was wondering: can I apply a matte from one precomp to another precomp? More specific: I want a hand from a precomposed character to grab an object that is in another precomp. Several fingers are to go behind the object while other wil overlap it. Any suggestions?
Thanks for this video
That's the thing what I'm looking for
that Transform controls effect is a gamechanger!!
you are a very good teacher. God bless you
Thank you for the greatest explanation i ever found in youtube
Very useful! Thanks!
Thanks Jake
this was too useful ♥
Thanks Jake!
You literally save my life:'-) THANNNNNNNNNKYOOOUUUUU
Thankyou so much ,i feel now 💪confident whenever i work with matte guys 👦💕😍💖💗💓thanks bro ,you made my day ,
Thank you so much
Thank you SO much for not vaguely describing mattes as "powerful", and rather giving actual explanations and use cases. I hate when tutorials just rave about a plug-in or effect or tool as "powerful", which explains fuck all. This was a helpful video.
Hi Jake !
Thanks a lot for this video !
I have an issue thought, is it possible to invert the transparency 'T' switch ? Because I'm doing an animation for which my character is grabing objects, and the object has to be below his hand, his body and leg, so I'm trying to use mattes to deal with it, but I can't find a solution (the Matte effect doesn't work with the puppet tool unfortunately)
Thanks again !
You are the man, man!
very nice !!!
Thank you
Thank you very much now I know exactly what track matte is
Thank you.
Thnx a bunch again, Jake.
Greeting fr Thailand
14:56 This was great to hear. It's really nice to know you're human when it comes to After Effects 💫
Thank you thank you and thank you.
Thank you!
You are the BEST
Hi Jake, thanks for your videos! I've seen in some of your tutorials you have a plug in for effects that brings them up with a quick key. Do you have the link to this download? Thanks!
Thanks! That's FX Console from video copilot.
Wow, Jake. You're crushing these.
thank you soooooo muchhh!!!
Thank you Sir
i want to ask about something if i can apply alpha matte in a stroke or only in a shape layer (fill)
im gonna have to watch it 10 times to master it.. thank u!!
🙆♂Thanks for the clear explanation
Thank you
loved it
how to make multiple matte?
Hey im trying to do a text reveal AND a solid reveal. I have the solid reveal all set up and a mask set up to reveal the text yet the text is not visible anymore. I do not know how to search a tutorial for this specific problem. Can you help?
Wow you are here Amazing 😍 Make tutorial of ur intro please jake
Absolute LEGENDARY.
Hey Jake,how you learn logo animation? How to start?
it was free after all thats the amazing thing.
When i click luma matte, my precompose layer above it turns black and white. If i click luma inverted matte it turns white and black. what do i do to fix that
Cool
hello Jake, a question. I've created a little excercise with null object and replicate more times to create a similar bg like your, I've pre-comp it and I've create two text layer like your clear tut but when I choice the first example (alpha matte) the bg disappear in the the text portion and the text disappear too. I've checked to have the similar your workflow condition but surely something I'm doing it's wrong.. probably in the pattern pre-comp..may you suggest me something?. Thanks twice!
ok Jake I've found the answer alone. I've no create bg in the pattern pre comp , now it's work. sorry I'm a 🦖😂😂
How you made the background animate?
The pattern? I teach that in a Skillshare class: skl.sh/2lgsxns
Thank you sirrrr.
My college professor couldn't explain mattes to us, he just used them in the projects and changed the topic whenever we asked how mattes work
I feel that I owe you a fees.
Hahaha lol
Hoping someone can answer a matte question for me. I have a logo and a stock video of smoke coming on to the screen. I used a track matte so the logo will appear with the smoke, but it won't retain the color of the logo, it is turning it to the color of the smoke. Anyone know how to retain that color of the logo?
Hey Taylor, put the logo underneath the stock footage and set the track matte to Luma Matte. That will preserve the contents of the logo layer, but use the luminance of the stock footage as the alpha channel.
@@JakeInMotion Thanks so much for the quick reply!
i'm more confused now. is this not a clipping mask basically?

OMG you're a baby!
Tutorial is good but try to make short videos. 😊🤘

The face on the thumbnail look straight outta Mandela catalogue
title should read COMPLETE or EXHAUSTIVE or YOU WILL NEVER NEED AN AE TRACK MATTES TUTORIAL ANYMORE AFTER YOU SEE THIS...but your title is more to the point ;-)
😆
set matte sucks. wether it works or not seems to be completely random
You just need to know what the effect is actually trying to do. If the layer you're applying the effect to is a different size than the layer you're using as a matte, it's going to stretch the matte to fit or leave it unscaled depending on how you have the effect set., Either way is probably not what you're wanting. If that is the case, precompose the matte layer and make the comp the same dimensions as the layer you're trying to apply it to. Keep in mind that if the layer you're applying it to isn't 100% scale, the resulting matte will also be scaled by the same factor amount. Once you realize the limitations and workaround, set matte is a huge time saver.
Started off easy until the end geesh

you are from Disney universe....???
Is he AI?
Masking in After Effects is so annoying.
Great lesson but can be in bites. One minute lessons would be great. Is hard to keep info in a looooong tutorial.
Work on increasing your focus instead. Paying attention for less than 17 minutes should not be difficult.
@@Vladyyy I look for tutorials. and not Adderall ! 😬
@@advisevo2153 yeah, if
@@Vladyyy : shortest : the better. So you can repeat and repeat wherever is most complicated or “chapters”.
