    ABOUT VIDEO:
    In this After Effects tutorial I go over how to use the new track matte selection tools inside the 2023 release. This is a new feature inside After Effects 2023 and changes the way we use alpha mattes and luma mattes. I also explain what an alpha matte is and what a luma matte is so that you have a strong foundation for how mattes work inside Adobe After Effects.

  • @adarwinterdror7245

    First of all - Great tut.
    My question is -
    I have created animation in Adobe Animate, and my background color in the animation is green. Now, I want to apply texture only to that specific green color within my animation (and not remove the layer in Animate). Obviously, this green is of a very specific hue. I assume there must be a way to specify a mask to the texture layer that will follow a specific color that I should be able to eye-drop. But I cant find this option.
    Any help?

    Very helpful... however, "a staircase"? To me the luma matte icon looks more like a light (luminance) shining from the top left corner. :)
    This was very helpful though and I'm looking forward to moving into AE 2023. Good stuff.

  • @constanzarosell2206

  • @zhaooskar3178

    hi John,we know that when shooting handheld, the resulting image is often choppy, I mean the speed of movement is not constant. Is there any way this problem can be improved in PR or AE?

    • @johnthevideoguy
      @johnthevideoguy  Před rokem

      Hi!
      You could try slowing down your footage by using speed ramps in Premiere Pro. Check out my video below to learn more.

    Great tutorial. What if you want a layer to be affected by multiple alpha mat layers at the same time? 🤔

    • @johnthevideoguy
      @johnthevideoguy  Před 4 měsíci

      To do that, I would probably try pre-composing the layers that are alpha mattes and then link it to the layer you'd like to apply it to.

      If you right click on the columns in the Timeline panel, you’ll see a switches button. Be sure that is check marked and they should appear.

    hello!could u say how to use Trake Matte in 3D? because when i turn on 3D Track Matte disappear(((

    • @johnthevideoguy
      @johnthevideoguy  Před 11 měsíci

      Hello!
      I think I found the solution for this problem. I believe the renderer needs to be set to Classic 3D in order for 3D layers to read track matte settings. This can be changed at the bottom of the composition panel. Instead of Cinema 4D, switch it to Classic 3D.
      You can also change this setting in your composition settings. Just go up to Composition > Composition Settings and then in the 3D Renderer tab, change the setting in here.
      In addition I found out that the Draft 3D button needs to be turned off at the bottom of the composition panel. Hope this helps solve the issue!

    • @johnthevideoguy
      @johnthevideoguy  Před 11 měsíci

      Hi!
      Sorry you are having troubles with this feature.
      To apply an ink splash transition to your footage. First click on the layer that you want to be revealed by the ink splash. Then underneath the Track Matte switch column click the drop down and select the ink splash layer.
      By default it will choose alpha matte. You'll need to change it to luma matte. To do that, click the switch next to your footage layer that looks like a gray dot inside a white square. It should change to a sun icon. This indicates that it is a luma matte now. You may need to invert it as well and to do that click the icon next to the sun icon and this will invert the matte so that it displays you footage in the opposite luminosity of the splash layer.
      If it's still confusing, I plan on addressing your comment in my upcoming live stream this Saturday!

      You can try to click the Toggle Switches / Modes button at the bottom of the Timeline panel. Or at the very bottom left side of After Effects, there are more expand and collapse menu options.

      No, there isn't unfortunately. The only way would be to use a version of After Effects 2022 for earlier.
