• How to create the layer mask using ellipse (circle) to show the face of the watch only?

  just stuck - see how to get a job of layer mask using a brush, but can not get by with the help of an ellipse

  What I'm after is:

  * Start simple watch, with the face and band by photo

  * want to apply a layer, so the only thing I see the circular face of the watch (no tape etc.) and that the base is clear (alpha)

  May I ask what are the instructions step by step to achieve this goal by using layer masks & ellipse tool?  (i.e. not having to manually paint around the dial)

  Here's the original image:
  

  1. Make a copy of the background and work on this copy of background layer.
  2. Use the elliptical selection tool, hold down the SHIFT key to draw a circular selection:
     
  3. Select use (on the menu bar)... Transform the selection to move the selection, and drag the sides of the selection at the edges of the dial:
     
  4. After you click the green check mark, use the selection... Inverse to select all items except the dial of the watch and press your delete key to remove such things:

• Move between photos using the mouse scroll wheel in the library module

  I've recently upgraded to LR6.4, in the library, to the Magnifier module, I can't move between photos using the mouse scroll wheel. When I point the cursor on the picture, I get a "magnifying glass". The only way I can move between photos is to click on the film. I was able to use the mouse scroll wheel to move between pictures before. Help, please.

  It doesn't matter whether or not this option is displayed. Just open the preferences and restart LR should dissipate it.

• When you use the 3D camera tracker, how can I insert an image instead of / on top of a solid?

  I'm just learning how to use the 3D camera Tracker feature.  I wanted to show what would look like a development project proposed along the coast and managed to get four cubes, representing four houses, appears in this video:

  Save our shores Gloucester: the back Shore, now with Mr Court! -YouTube

  Each of these cubes consists of four solid singles.  Effective, but not realistic.

  I would now like to do a similar thing for another construction project.  But for this project, the developer has some renderings of high quality that will look like the building, and I would like to insert these images in my video, rather than repeat my cubes of Day - Glo.

  I can't find a tutorial that shows how to do this, maybe because I did not come to the expression of right to describe.

  How can I achieve this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Just add your solids as placeholders and then add the image to the model and make the 3D layer. Now, hold down the SHIFT key and make the solid placeholder the parent layer of the 3D image. Now the SHIFT key will skip the image layer to the exact position of the solid. Then, simply adjust the rotation and scale. Then you remove the placeholder in parenting will disappear.

• How to move the mask without the masking area who created

  Im trying to place a box of masking to a certain place where he hides a fraction of an object (myRainBow) and then move the mask without moving the masking area. But the code I did exactly the opposite-> he moves the area of masking with the mask itself.

  My problem in other words:

  I have a nice image, but I want to move the image to a different location on my living room wall. So where I have move the image (at the top, left corner, bottom corner to the Center, etc.) it (the content of the image itself) won't change, only its location of the image in my living room.

  How do with the as3 code, cause I have so far only this and it does not have what I want it to do

  The way you describe moving the mask without moving the mask area is not clear, but if your description to move something on the wall, then you have probably just to add the image of the Rainbow and the mask in the same container object and assign slide it / drop in this container.  From what I can make of your code, you just put the mask inside a container and moving from this container.  Try to put this first container inside another breadsticks and the Rainbow and assign the drag / drop to the second.

• Movement of mask and the track Matte Question - why it doesn't work?

  Hi first gurus...

  I am able to use the first titration module - to create a mask - then the Luma put on the effect of TrackMatte to isloate a region of the video (I duplicated the original) which I am interested.

  -By of many tutorials/videos online, I've found.

  Question: Why - can I not use the mask / "exit" from the ThreeWayColorCorrector to do the same thing?

  Image - duplicate the clip - drop the ThreeWayColorCorrector - using "High color" mode - to isolate people form (from an extract of the interview);  the background is black... the contour hair root and the body of the interviewee is white.

  I get white/black - because I passed the exit of the ThreeWayColorCorrector to 'mask '...

  Now - when I drop this clip on my video editing - that I use for the TrackMatte effect - it does not work as I had expected, it could - at all...

  Very disappointing - it would have been a very powerful way - to create a mobile cache to work with the TrackMatte effect...

  If someone has done something like this before? Y at - it an easy solution - or a setting that I missed...

  This should work really - not?

  Some information:

  I work with a GreenScreen shot - with lighting poor to separate the hairline of the screen.

  Work with green screen - subject to blonde hair.

  I thought that the retro-lighting/hairlight was not necessary - I was wrong.

  Now with the green screen hidden using this ultra key - get jagged effect around the airline and what looks like the snow and noise around the fringe.

  I thought en - 1) video duplication and combining with effect 2) TrackMatte - use a mobile mask that matched just the root of the hair/plan - I might be able to blurr the edge enough to get rid of the unpleasant effect I see...

  As BIG as the UltraKeyer is - different parameters of transparency/spill/Starter/soften seem not to be able to remove the ugly/noticeable hairline artifacts that I see...

  New - look like jagged effect / snow...

  Any thoughts?

  
  Thank you

  In my opinion, the track-bearing on Pr capabilities fall away from the brand.  The fact fcp7 as it is very useful.  The limitation of the matte in public relations is that the mast is adjusted on the layer is hidden.  You can animate and change the scale and position of the track matte layer, but if you want it to run in smooth synchronization with the matted layer, you're in for a bit of work.  Ideally, you should be able to pan and adjust the layer being hidden inside a motionless mask.  Can-do that elegantly in PR.  This is a faulty design of the Pr, IMO.

  As a general rule, you must go to EI for the good contols, where you have all the power of masking you need, with the exception of the variable feathering, and who is rumored to be included in AeCS6.  Also it would be nice to be able to follow the points of mask, which is not currently in Ae either.  But that's another debate.

  That said, I am able to use the mask to a secondary use as a Luma matte.  Not sure why it does not work for you.  Have you played with the secondary commands sweetness?  I couldn't even be after what is your problem.

  However, here is a tip that I use with Ae that might work for your problem of inlay.  Use two instances of the Keyer.  Use all first to create a "garbage" key, where you will have the most greenery, leaving only a border around your subject.  Then, you can use the second instance of the Keyer to hone in on the edges.  Give it a shot.  Might work for you.  This method gives you an option to avoid the harsh cleanup settings of Matte with eradicating all the Greens in a framework.

• Seting keyframes to move a mask, what are the Red handles, and why can't I move the mask.

  So, I have a mask I want to track manually. I put a keyframe, and then as soon as I move down the clip in time, the handles on the mask all the Red Tower, I can't move anything. What is c.

  I must be in Auto key. If is not very intuitive to manually follow a mask. Can someone explain what I got. When I put a keyframe, it also always affects a red keyframe at the beginning of a clip.

  OK, so if I put on auto and then change the mask a little to set the first keyframe and make a few adjustments it works fine. TEEN Style!

  I guess that's the best solution. Use Auto and adjust as required.

  But for reference, what are the Red handles that is supposed to mean. And is there a tutorial for manual monitoring mask.

  Also how do a mask drawing good hand, when I click on the + curve and make points, then the expanded mask gets all hexagonal... What is happening with that. you have to start with a round mask and add points and tweak from there to make a mask customized with adjustable smooth edges?

  Seems to be the only way I can hack through for now. Again, please to a good tutorial on the masks and the points, I have an account of Linda, if that helps.

• movement satellite masking problem

  Hello!

  Ive got a file downloaded to all you, I can't seem to find a way for the satellite to be hidden behind the planet.although I think with MI of the motion on track, im stuck on the masking.

  any suggestions? Thank you

  Oh.  I don't see your satellite moving at all.

  Anyway, if you use the Tween in the timeline, you will use two interpolations.  a Tween to move your satellite before interpolation of planet and a 2nd to move your satellite behind your planet.  you won't use masking.

• monitoring of movement and masks

  Heeey!

  I'm stuck here.

  I know that once, I did a motion tracking and use a mask without keyframe manually.

  I have a clip with a guy walk and I motion track that, once, the data applied to a null value

  I had a layer below with the empty background when I use the mask over his head, it seems that he has no head. but now I can not put the data on the mask. and I know that I did that year last in aftereffects, without scripts. I used copy and paste images or the expression on the mask path, which connects to the position of the keyframes of the null value

  I know that I did in cs3, but in cs4, I can't

  In my opinion, who do not already have the project I did last year

  any thoughts?

  Thank you...

  You cannot apply tracking data directly from a mask without script. You can apply the tracking data to a layer that contains a mask and uses this layer as a track matte.

  Tracking data looks like this:

  Adobe After Effects 8.0 Keyframe data

  Units per second 29.97

  Source width 720

  Source height 540

  Source of 1 pixels

  Format of the pixels 1 COMP

  Transform the Position

  Frame X pixels Y pixels Z pixels

  7 361.799 270,452 0

  8 364.354 276,231 0

  9 365.084 280,343 0

  10 364.487 282,402 0

  End of the keyframe data

  Data mask is no pixels, it's vertex angles, curves of Bézier position vectors. There are some scripts out there that allow you to attach location data to the position of the top, but that's all. If you want to follow and hide the best option is the Mocha Shape plug-ins.

  If you just want to move the layer with the mask then you can copy and paste image data key from the Center feature or point of attachment to the position of the layer property.  You can just select the feature Center and stick to the layer. You will end up by with Tracker 1 trackpoint 1 keyframes that are not attached to the layer's transform property. It is a common mistake.

• When I click on a clip on a timeline, it automatically moves down to 45 seconds and another track

  So I don't know what I did, or if it's a weird bug on my system, but all of a sudden whenever I click on an item to move it, the clip moves to the low about 45 seconds to the right and down a track.  Everything else I have point to works very well and it seems constant, that's why I thought it would be some adjustments, but I can't understand and it drives me crazy.  I uninstalled and got rid of the preferences, but the behavior returned.  If I open AE, pliers movement is normal.   New projects of first are the same. Any thoughs?

  Hmm.  I thought about it, it has something to do with the multiple Mac monitors.  I extend instead to use spaces and discreet work for some reason any first can get confused.  I was moving the windows on different monitors and it fixed the issue.

• Is there a a way to animate the characters while using an existing audio track?

  I tend to do a lot of different voices, maybe 3 or 4 - for characters in a scene. So I want to save all audio on the logic, then export the voice of the one character at a time and use character animation to animate the puppets.

  For example, X, Y and Z are in conversation, I save all 3 parts, edit the audio isn't airtight and usable and export then take of an individual character.

  I take this audio track in animation character somehow and then get Ch to animate the mouth based on the audio and then go through a scene by adding movements of the puppets as triggers, flashing the webcam etc.

  Can I do this? I can't get my tiny mind around it. Help me, Adobe. You're my only hope

  I would like to know how to do this also. The only thing I can think of right now is to play the audio on the speakers and hope that Ch didn't pick up any other noise with her (difficult in my office, where construction is happening nearby)

  EDIT: I thought that this it is quite simple:

  1. Encode your audio files like WAV (works better if there is nothing else than the voiceover on the track)
  2. Import it in Ch
  3. Drop the audio track on your timeline
  4. Select your puppet
  5. Select 'Compute Lip Sync of Audio scene' in the menu object.
  6. Let him calculate, and you're done!

  NEW EDITION:

  Once he did the math, you can activate the face capture and record movements while listening to the sound. It will not animate the lip-sync while you record, but he will be reading later.

• Movement of masking of the Code between environments

  I move code between home and the office, and one of the annoying problems I'm having with Dreamweaver CS3 is that when I reduce the code on 1 environment, everything is great, but once I move this code to another environment, the code of the opening page gives a long message basically "we don't know where your drop-off points are more and will just expand everything." , in essence, lose my points of fall.

  Is there a way I can include some meta data are necessary to keep the drop points between the moving code from the environments?

  Actaully, I finally found the data.  An installation by default on Windows 7, it is located in the:

  C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver9\Configuration\CodeCollapse\Cache

  It's XML stored as a .mcc (the Macromedia Code masking)?  I just save this info and move it.

  NOTE: the part of the XML file uses a full path to the files with codes of collapse in them, so you must make sure that the path between the environments are exactly the same, or it won't work.
