Animate a mask points individually?

AE_prbpicture.jpg

Here is a picture of the options I have in AE CS5.5. I wonder how to animate a mask. I have never done in AE before. I want to animate parts, namely, I animate each vertex, or point of the mask individually. Is there a way to do this? If this isn't the case, y ' All, what do you propose?


Thanks a lot for your suggestions.

Nevermind, I searched and figured it out on my own.

  • animate the mask

    Hello

    I need animate a mask edge animate so that, when, the mask reveals other areas of the image, that it is masking.

    Is this possible? It seems that it is or should be, but I've yet to find how to create an animated mask animate on Board (which is independent of the image). If possible, can you please explain how this can be done?

    Thank you.

  • Masking of individual recipient addresses

    Using Windows Mail in Vista, I want to send an email to a large number of recipients in a group without revealing each individual email address. Essentially, I would like to create a group name and have only this show.

    To use the functionality of the BCC (Blind Carbon Copy), in a new message window, click View | All headers and type the addresses separated by a; Or: Click the button to. You will see your list of contacts and the choice to put them in the To, CC, or BCC field. Click on an address, and then click BCC to add it. Repeat for all of the contacts you want. (Note: most of the providers have limits as to how many messages you can send at once. a 25 or 50 is attending, but it varies).

    Put your own address in the box to. That's the only name/address that any recipient will see. If you leave the field empty, some people may not receive e-mail because of message rules they put in place, or restrictions imposed by their ISP.

    You can also make an entry in the address book using your e-mail address, but put something like the mailing list in the area of the display.

    *********************

    You can also create groups if you send e-mail to the same people often.

    To create a group of contacts:

    You can create a single group name (or alias) to use when sending a message to several contacts at the same time. Just create a group name and add individual contacts to the group. Then just type the name of the group in the box for when you send mail.

    1. in the address book, select the folder in which you want to create a group. Click New in the toolbar, and then click New Group.
    2. the Properties dialog box opens. In the group name box, type the name of the group.
    3. There are several ways to add people to the Group:
    a. to add a person from your address book list, click Select members, and then click a name in the address book list.
    (b) to add a person directly to the group without adding the name to your address book, type the person's name and e-mail address at the bottom of the Properties dialog box and then click Add.
    to add a person to both the Group and your address book, click New Contact and enter the appropriate information.
    (d) to use a directory service, click Select members, and then click search. Select a directory service in the drop-down list at the end of the text box. After finding and selecting an address, it is automatically added to your address book.
    4. Repeat for each addition until your group is defined.

    Note

    a. to view a list of your groups separately from the list of address book in the address book on the view menu, make sure that folders and groups is selected.
     
    b. you can create multiple groups, and contacts can belong to several groups.

    If you want to send to a group without addresses are displayed for each recipient, open the address book and make a new entry. Enter the name of the group in the area of the display, but use your address. (Some Internet service providers require a legitimate address in the line to and recipients will know it's from the Group).

    Click on the button to. Enter the name of the group using your address. Enter the group in the BCC field.

  • CC2014 AE will not let me select individual/collective points mask or limits on a pre comp and so moves the model together or ladders (depending on where I clicked of course)

    I'm working on a project that requires a style similar to securities "Criminal Minds Suspect behaviour" . I'm precomping photos so that I can make in a separate model but then placing these comps pre into a master publication where I use the camera and the masks to reveal the images in the required order. I'm having a problem of selection of the mask points. It was working fine without any problems earlier today, but now I can't select single or collective of a mask or a border of a points either. What happens when I try, it's just moves or the scale of the model completely and ultimately the mask is useless because I can't animate it in all. I hope someone can help! I reported it as a bug to Adobe, but because I am unaware of the process that causes the I'm afraid that they won't get back to me. Help or troubleshooting tips would be amazing! Thank you in advance!

    Looks like you need to adjust the masks in the nested compositions, but you try to do it in the main computer.  Not good.  Nothing happens.  Do it in the nested compositions.

  • Possible to animate a clip mask?

    I would like to recreate this mouse animated effect: http://tympanus.net/Tutorials/CircleHoverEffects/index2.html

    I tried to animate a mask that works, but I don't see a way to make the transparent mask so he conceals the shape of the outside of moving shape to the inside you see in the effect. Or is there a way to make a compound (as in Illustrator) then shape animate the internal points of the shape?

  • Move a mask using coordinates of a Tracker?

    Camera on a tripod, position, set a man with a hat walking right to left, facing a wall. I am able to follow the man's head, no problem, with the help of the bandwagon, turn. On a second layer (same video), I add a mask, top hat of the man. This hides all but one part of the wall, slightly larger than the hat of the man.

    Challenge:

    I want to animate the mask, and position it just above the head of man, to give the impression that the man has no hat - to remove the hat. The wall is unevenly lit, so I want the mask to move as close as possible man.

    (This is just an example, I want to know how to move a mask by using data from a Tracker)

    I watched many video tutorials, some of them seem to do what I want, but they are so complex that I fall off the wagon before I understand how they do it, as I'm new to After Effects.

    ingvarai

    Ingvarai;

    Currently, there is not directly (or at least a top) how to apply the movement of the track to the position of the mask data. A user did write a script that allows you to apply data to the individual vertices mask.

    However, what a lot of users do is: apply the mask to a layer of soild, apply tracking to the position of the layer data, and then set the solid as a cache alpha of the layer you want to hide.

    Once said, keep in mind that after effects help on the web has not only all of the content of this manual, but it's also an incredible resource oriented community that points to a large number of tutorials, forum posts and many other useful bits. If you do a search for 'follow-up masks', you will be delighted with the amount of information you will find

  • Add the precomp major issue mask

    I guess it's yet another bug in AE 13.6.1.6?

    I took has several layers with overlays, precomp... nothing new here.  Click on the "for layer Comp: Transformation of the collapse" button to keep my overlays... again, no problem. Ahh, now add another layer as a 'matte' and all recoveries precomp disappear and do not work.  Really making me nervous, tried 6 ways to Sunday to work around that and I cannot.

    Precomp & Overlay 1.pngOverlay wrong.PNG

    If there is only one fusion mode then just grab the blending modes in the layer (pre-comp) nested and edit it to add. Which is available even if it is not visible. Everything that you CT will work. If you're just hide or animate the lower third with a cache by approach then CT should not be necessary. Don't get me wrong. I use ways of merging all the time. I just know that if I want to embed a layer that has a bunch of mixed modes and I need to hide this layer nested with a matte or mask that I have to design so that I have not to condense the transformations or I'll have to animate the mask or add the mask in the nested model. I have this all the time. Unless I'm completely wrong, understand the use of the matte, I see no reason that it could not be included in the demo.

    Give the blending mode to ADD a test on your computer at the title bar of switching. I could offer you a better suggestion if I knew what was the structure of the model.

    If it was me and the place with 13 inside and the bar with the necessary addition mode comes alive with a matte that I'd keep probably the two layers in the main comp, parent from one to the other and use Set Matte to wipe it off with a demo as a source. Another approach would be to implement the expressions to animate the size of the shape layer, you use the bar based on the in and out point of the layer, perhaps put the 13 in a box on the same shape layer, use blending modes internal and trains facilitators to make the box blade in as needed without keyframes at all. Just setting the in and out point would do it. The shape layer would then be saved as a preset. This is another thing that I do all the time.

  • convert the data-> layer mask vertex position position

    I have 2 videos (A; (B) whose corresponding value of markers, I need to distort the video so the position of the markers would correspond to the position of the corresponding markers in video B.

    The markers are easy to spot, but I can only request data followed the anchor layer,

    while I can use for the distortion (Reshape, revision deform or Morph) the tools work with masks.

    I need a way to convert the caterpillars position data to control individual mask points.

    Someone knows or can write this script?

    much help appreciated

    Yes, as David said, with local Tracker2Mask mode, you can move individual points mask with track points of the tracker item AE.

    See this tutorial:

    My MaskTrackerPlus not help not in this particular case, since he cannot move together masks, but individual vertices not independently.

  • Technique to animate the red squares?

    Salvation of York UK :-)

    I am very new to After Effects, so please forgive the awkward sentences. I am trying to create an effect where three red boxes appear over time. Put another way Sidebar 1 appears 2 boxes appear then all three. Here is a screenshot to illustrate:

    The boxes belong to a single layer as part of a logo, ive tried masks and kinds of things but without success. Any method to achieve very much appreciated ;-)

    Thank you

    David

    I would hide the 3 boxes, or recreate them with shape layers to animate the opacity forms individually create a layer above with some shape layers with animation opacity to act as a matte. Both techniques require masking and animating the opacity. Are you familiar with these procedures?

    Thank you!

    I'm not see exactly what you want, but it seems like a gradient would be the way to go.

    Select the points. In the swatches Panel menu, choose Open Swatch Library > Gradients > spectra.

    A click on a gradient. As a first step, that each point individually fill with the gradient.

    If you select the gradient tool and drag through the selected points the gradient fill points as a unit.

  • Animation of track (After Effects) to animate gasket CC

    Hello

    I'm just using CC animate to produce banners of advertisement for the Google Adwords campaign a client in a HTML5 format after disappointing results with GIFs because of the limitations of frame rate in Google's advertising specifications.

    I am currently rebuilding an announcement in Animate. Although I can use Classic tweens and motion to reproduce some of the transitions that I had previously created in After Effects, I can't find any way to animate along a path. To clarify, I don't mean to animate a path, but rather to create a line in dashed that pushes along a path; something that was very simple to accomplish by using After Effects.

    After looking in the FAQ, I saw some members advising this creation in After Effects and export to Animate. However, as far as I can see, the export to flash (.swf, etc) options appear to have now been removed After effects.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Thank you!

    There is not a way automatic to animate the beginning and end of a path to animate.  Masking is your best bet.

    Here is a small example of how you can reveal lines using masking in Animate: Dropbox - MaskPath

    For a relatively straight line, you can just tween a rectangle to reveal.  For a closed line, you must do a little more animation frame-by-frame, but it is still fast enough.  This example took me less than 10 minutes.

  • Extension Mask property is griefin' me!

    I'm trying to animate masks and get some results, I do not understand.  For one the masks are not include properly.  IE even with the mask expansion set to 0, no feather, etc. the mask seems to 'offset '.   I decided to animate the mask expansion as well as the path to try to work around it rather than to understand it, but suddenly the mask expansion property would stop working.  If I deleted keyframes and and messed about it would start working again, but as soon as I started to put keyframes, it seems to freeze upwards.

    I'm trying to set keyframes only a setting apart.  Could that be causing the freak out? I hope that the video demonstrates what I say

    Thank you

    I guess you are trying to get the thing is going to be in front of the blue letter. I use two copies of your layer of green thing and put one on top. This should also make masking easier.

    It's really hard to tell what you're trying to do. If you want to see exactly what the mask expansion is done then solo that layer and activate the transparency grid or put a solid underneath. Without further explanation, it's really hard see if something unusual occurs.

    Maybe this project file will help: Dropbox - Threaded Vine.aep (Note: your browser may add a .txt extension to the file - just remove)

    In this project, I used a shape with a very big race layer to create the background for the vine. Then I drew a mask to taper the race. I thought about adding the host connect traces of form to make the vine grow but I used mask expansion instead. Then, it was just a matter of dial before the growth of the vine and the text between the layers. I then used the very simple rough masks to make the layer of vine FG appear in front of the part of the text where I am they would go. PZ EZ...

    The entire animation was done with 2 keyframes in 5 minutes approximately. In fact, it took more time to convert the movie file to an animated gif in Photoshop, what he has done to do animation. A few minutes in AE or better yet, the help of Illustrator to create the pasted vine and mask and animation would be much smoother.

  • Mask path animation help?

    Newbie here. So I have a mask applied to an adjustment layer and you want to move the mask and shape throughout the video. Retouching it. Not a prob. But the problem is that when I try to select it to move it around, I end up changing its shape, or when I want to change shape, I find myself move it. Or worse, the entire mask gets selected in a way that (a white box appears around the mask with 8 anchor points] if I move, the (no retouching) transform position property begins to change (instead of mask path) who in turn up my whole mask off the track way.) So far, he has no random chance of doing things, but I want to make sure decisions and doesn't depend on the luck here. What Miss me?
    Thank you.


    Basically, I just can't decide how when the selection icon (becomes black) will move the mask or change shape.

    First, use the pen tool to select and move all the mask points. This will prevent you to select the layer. Then, use the Alt/Option key and the Ctrl/Cmnd key to make the selections. Take note of the cursor. The white or open arrow selects one or more points, the conversion tool (sideways v) set the Bézier handles or points of tension and the closed selection tool (short black arrow) will grab and move a single point. If you are using the white arrow, you can select several points and move them. It is pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Try to change the path continues the Selection direct (v - big black arrow) tool is nothing but frustrating.
