Feather mask

• Group layer feather mask

  I am writing a script that iterates through the layers of a document and apply a feather mask if there is not already one.

  var iterGroup = {function (group)}

  for (i = 0; i < group.layerSets.length; i ++) {}

  iterGroup (group.layerSets [i]);

  };

  for (i = 0; i < group.artLayers.length; i ++) {}

  If (group.artLayers [i] .layerMaskFeather == 0) {}

  Try the clause because the script hangs on layers that have no mask.

  try {}

  group.artLayers [i] .layerMaskFeather = 0.5;

  } catch (err) {}

  };

  };

  };

  };

  iterGroup (app.activeDocument);

  It does what it is supposed to to do, sort of, but it only works on layers of art.  The frustration I have is that we use a lot of masks on layers of the Group and for some reason any that adobe has chosen to put the property layerMaskFeather in the class artLayer rather than its parent class, the layer.  The layerset class seems to have no property layerMaskFeather DOM access, even if it is available from the GUI.  I could also select each layer in turn and perform an action on it, but I still need to try the pen of mask to see if the user already has a custom setting.  Is it possible that I can do this?

  Thank you

• Masking with the pen tool creates unwanted cropping

  Adobe Premiere Pro CC - 2015.4 version 10.4.0 (30) build

  Operating system - OS X 10.11.6

  Sequence/images - images of reflex digital H.264 in a 1920 x 1080, 16:9, 29.97 FPS

  I'm adding a chart and try to hide a file HAVE with the pen tool. As soon as I click on the tool pen under the control of opacity effect, a small portion of the image is cropped on the right side. Even when I finished the mask, he trims still on the right side.

  Here is what the chart looks like no mask at all. http://i.imgur.com/CtKbvOD.PNG

  Once I click on the tool to start feather mask, it cultures immediately a small part on the right side. http://i.imgur.com/W5ICaJR.PNG

  Even when I change the mask to make sure the mask is not touching the graphic, it cultures still a small portion. http://i.imgur.com/zNTGQ60.PNG

  Here's a short video showing what I want my mask to do (with keyframes) and you can still see the cropped part. https://youtu.be/Sy-Fx4YUc1g

  I restarted the program, re-import the file, delete the chart out my calendar and it added on. Remove the mask and tried again.

  I am at a loss here, but feel like there is something simple that I'm missing. Did anyone had this problem? Does anyone have any suggestions?

  Thanks for your help.

  Is the file have identical to the sequence value.

  How the mask behaves if material MPE turned to the software.

• Mask pen tool works do not since upgrading to version 13.5.1.48

  Hello

  anyone else having trouble with the tool feather mask since the upgrade to the latest version of CC?

  There simply nothing on shape layers more.

  Any suggestions?

  I'm on Mac OSX Yosemite

  Your memory is faulty. Pen has never worked on shape layers runs only on a mask. That's why's called it the tool feather mask.

• Effect of cropping - Image bleeding by mask with feathers?

  Hi all

  I am applying a form customized with the cropping effect mask. I've attached a picture showing the issue. The edge of the cropped image is bleeding in the mask as a result of the addition of a feather mask. I encountered this problem in several projects for the past few weeks. Anyone have any suggestions!

  Thank you!

  

  Better is not not to use the mask with the cropping effect, but rather of opacity mask.

• Mask for some frames?

  I wish I had a mask only for a time on my images. I mean, it's... I have 30 seconds of footage, I want to leave say 10s and 15s to see that some of my images, the rest when I want images unmasked. After this point, I don't want anything hidden more head room. How I managed to do this was by double-clicking on the rectangle tool (this mask set whole sequences). Can I use hold keyframes to change the mask at the desired time. Is there a way to say just After Effects to turn off the mask (see the sequence with no masks) on some images. Thank you

  There are about a dozen ways I can think of to achieve your goal.

  1. Use the track matte and simply animate the opacity. You could use a duplicate of your images with a mask or just draw a shape layer.
  2. Put two masks on your film. The first would be created by selecting the film layer and double click on the rectangle tool. The second mask will be drawn to hide the box allowing you to hide or show. Then the mask modes would be possible to assign to add and animate you the opacity of the rectangular mask.
  3. Draw a mask and then animate mask expansion. This would give a nice effect if you also anime feather mask as the expanded mask.
  4. Use Effects > channels > presets and animate Alpha Set of Alpha to full
  5. Use Effects > channels > channel shift and animate take Alpha's Alpha to full
  6. If you use CC 2014 you could use effect > channels > presets with alpha set to Off, then add an option of composition using the mask and animating the opacity

  

  I could go on and. If there is no animation required for a mask I almost always use a matte. I find much easier to deal with for most of the projects.

• Adding shadows videos Just

  I'm working on a license plate replacement in a video with a still image of an another license plate.  I have monitoring effect works very well, so it seems that it covers it perfectly, but the question arises when a shadow of one of the players goes over the plate.  It causes the image to briefly look like she is floating oddly because the shadow does not effect it.  Recommendations on how to make shadow effect it?  So far, everything I've tried is duplicate the video and try to create different layer modes (hue, obscure, etc.), but none seem right.

  I feel like it's something, I have done it before and am just brain blow on... but stuck is stuck.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  It would be really useful to see the picture with the shadow. According to the shot would probably add a solid color above the original film and then set the blending mode to something like the screen or add or multiply so that I could see through the layer. Solid color depends on the color of the license plate. Let's say you choose orange. If orange was the color then multiply would probably work pretty well.

  Then I would put in the solid color point to where the license plate begins to receive the shadow and start a simple rotation of the shadow across the plate. Once the shadow has passed the plate, you can set the exit point. You now have a layer of color that crosses the plate. Turn on the replacement license plate layer, move the layer color above the replacement plate, then change the color to dark gray and set the blending mode to multiply. Adjust the opacity until the shadow is the shadow of origin. If the shadow has rounded edges and then feather replacement necessary layer.

  I think it would be easier than trying to extract the original footage of the shadow because the shadow is fetch different during its passage over the lightest and darkest parts of plate parts. Here's what I did in a few minutes to show you the process.

  Original movie:

  

  New plate:

  

  Shadow Roto: (turns blue showed the best)

  

  Sets the color for the shadow to look right:

  

  Final twist a feather mask.

  

  If there are a lot of camera movements or there are a lot of other movements in the shot, then stabilize the shooting to make roto or using Mocha to do the rotation can save you a bunch of times. It all depends on the shooting, but the trick is using a layer dark solid rotoscoped as the shadow of replacement and made that the composite on executives who absolutely need fixing.

• Can someone make me a lower third?

  Can someone help me recreate a low third in a video, here is a picture

  If it looked like or exactly the same, that would be great

  Start here learn After Effects: getting started with After Effects (CS4, CS5, CS5.5, CS6, & CC). After the effects of interest area

  All you have to do is make a solid layer of purple color you want. Add a mask to make the shape you want. The duplicate. Feather mask on the bottom. Apply the bevel alpha at the top and change the settings. Reduce the opacity of the time a bit.

  Add text. Put the shadow on the text effect.

• For all you lovers out there willing to lend some knowledge

  Hello!

  I shot footage using a camera slider. With every shot I took, I made sure that, when the scene that I needed was captured I used an object to block the shot with the intention to use this object to create a continuos slides/cups in another scene. The size of the object varied from shot to shot, but overall it was enough to block/end my desired image capture.

  Now that I have the images in front of me, should which way I go? Masks, followed by objects, key-frame animation? IM at a standstill.

  I tried an important framework animate one next to each other and stack on each other so a scene would slip in as the other slip out of the frame. However, my results have been very hectic.

  I just want to create a cut where all my scenes are interconnected with the slides, in the form of a continuous action. I'm sure that for all that you lovers out there this is kids play, but I'm so inexperienced... Any help in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

  PS I have not for a fact that there is a tutorial out there in the interwebz but I just can't find. If it helps this tutorial is a scene in the Big Apple and a taxi through the screen and enter a new

  Explanation of Rick should make miracles according to how your footage is shot.  A mask just like Szalam suggested might work also.  Here's an example very little neat how it could work.  I'm sure that your shots were photographed with a lot more carefully, but I just did it using the images I had on my desk to illustrate the principle.  Here I used two shots separate cable to a bike race, but when a tree covers the bikers in the second shot, I touch up the mask path to block the bikers in the first shot, so that riders in the second shot are not like they move in a continuous track.  Unfortunately, this ins't example entirely convincing since the trees are difficult to hide quickly and it doesn't help that the two moves are different angles so the sky appears in the second shot.  But, if your shots are moving at the same speed and angle and the object that blocks the firing is not too difficult to hide then you should have a much easier time with your videos:

  (1.) I got this effect simply by animating the mask path in After Effects and the use of the tool of feather mask adjustable to control the amount of feathers mask has. Here's how it works:

  (A) use the Pen tool to draw a mask around the object you want to cover up your first scene.

  (B) use the Pen tool mask to adjust the amount of feathers on your object, especially if there is no blur of movement since the movement of the camera.  Here's a good tutorial on how to usehttp://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/variable-width-mask-featheringsmoothing mask variable width in After Effects CS6.

  

  2.) move the points as you move through the timeline and add multiple keyframes when you change the mask to match your images:

  

  3.) finally pass the edges of the mask out of the screen so that your new scene can support.  As I said before, if your shots are moving at the same speed and angle and the object that blocks the shot is easy to mask, i.e. something geometric with straight lines like a wall, then you should have a much easier time with your videos:

  

  However, I realize that your shots can be radically different from this and you may need to use a slightly different technique.  If this is the case, thanks to upload your photos or screenshots in the post and we'll take a look.

• How to create gusts of snow and fog

  Hello

  I have CS6 AE and Premiere Pro, etc...  and I was wondering how to make the snow squalls.  I know how to make snow, but I would like to do something like in the following video.

  It seems that there the snow that goes on the side and smoke.

  Thanks for any help/ideas?

  More about CS6, Win 7 64 bit

  Until you try, I highly recommend the following method using supplant Turbulent, which is a built-in effect.  Personally, I think it creates the control, keyframe and layers of fog or smoke excellent you can animate completely manually:

  

  

  a.) create a solid white.

  (b) the mask in a form that is more or less as you wish your fog to watch.

  (c.) set the feather mask to about 500 pixels.  You can modify or animate later once it's in your scene.

  (d.) add the effect of supplanting Turbulent white solid layer.

  (e.) change the complexity to 6.0 and you want that moving the fog to change over the time that I would say animating the offset and possibly evolution.

  (f.) so if you want the blowing fog across the screen, I suggest animating its position and possibly the mask path.

  (g.) if the fog is too opaque, you can adjust the opacity.

• view the psd with feather and the layer mask

  Hello

  There is one case where I can't display a modified to correct Photoshop image in LR.

  If the PSD file has a layer mask with a feather, LR displays a hard edge mask.

  There is no problem with a normal gradient or shadow a layer style.

  I'm on CC PS and LR CC, latest versions.

  Anyone have the same problem?

  Thank you

  This is a known bug in the latest version of Photoshop. Adobe knows about it, and I think they're going to fix in the next version of PS.

• Refine the tool missing - select and mask does not work on hair

  I also do not know how to use this tool. I need to select the edges of the hair and used the brush once I was inside the dialog box refine edge. This allowed me to use the brush on the edges of the hair, and he would choose loose bristles. Now select the and mask feature selects a large part of color that is affected by the brush and does not select just the strands. So I find myself with a person's head and a blob of 3 inches from the bottom red on each side of the head, because it acts as the tool magic wand or quick selection instead.

  How to make a selection with the lasso tool, then refine the edge and select the hair? I often hear to use the pen tool, but who's transformed into a selection eventually anyway. Is not wise to make a selection tool feather each and every time you want to select the hair - I make a selection of the entire body of the person and what part of it can refine the edge. Totally lost on how to select just the hair strands and refine the edge.

  Hello

  See this post: refine edge is back
