Problems creating a mask to apply an effect to this particular field.

I am a beginner with adobe after effects and I am currently trying a personal project. I know how to create a mask and how to apply an effect to this specific sector, but for some reason whenever I have any create said mask, he cuts the selection from the video output. I have provided a screenshot below.

Screenshot (2).pngScreenshot (1).png

The first image is without finishing mask selection, and the second is the result of the selection. I want to know how I can create a mask without getting out of the background. I was able to do this before, but for some reason it is happening now. I looked around the forums but have not found an answer I hope you guys can help out me, any help is appreciated!

When you are new to AE, and even when you used AE for 20 years I have, and you want to learn how to do something new, type what you want to learn in the area of research in help in the upper right corner of the AE. You are looking for 'Compositing Options' so to type or if you know exactly how it's called type 'control the mask effect' and discover the resources of the community.

When you have problems with a layer select the layer and press u twice to reveal all the changed this layer properties. If you did it in your screenshot you would have seen the properties of your mask. If you had applied an effect and change the effect properties, you would also see the effect. If the spin you open the properties of the effect you'd see Compositing Options with a little + and - sign. If you have clicked on the + and added a mask you would have seen the effect applied to the hidden area of your image like this, where I applied the black and white effect to the clip and followed my instructions in this paragraph.

Here's what you would have seen if you had typed "control the effect with a mask" in the search help field under the right there on the first page: How to use masks to control the effects. Tutorials Adobe after effects CC

  • Apply several effects to an object in a tip Action / Flash output

    Hello

    Played around with the application of effects through advanced Actions. It seems that if a tip Action is put in place to apply multiple effects on the same object, only the last effect in the sequence of commands executed in the tip action (possible / far right) would play when Flash is published. This should or am I missing something here?

    Three steps (even that has not changed yet):

    1. Create effects stacked as time-based effect. Look at this timeline
    2. Save the effect (there is now a disk button), remove the three effects stacked, then apply the custom effect (use the Browse button). This is necessary for your custom effect see when using the effect of applying advanced actions order
    3. Use apply effect and you will see a new category "Custom" from which you can choose the custom effect. I did not test how changes in the duration effect those stacked, sorry.

  • I need help to create a mask for a paint to put on a t-shirt.

    mockup.jpg

    Right now I use my paintings on t-shirts, but they are square or rectangular images (like the one pictured to the left). When printing on t-shirts, it seems unprofessional.

    I would like to use a mask in Photoshop Elements to have the edges of the erasure of the paint in the color of the t-shirt but not smooth (as pictured to the right). It will disappear in a transparent background with a PNG file for the t-shirt to work in various colors.

    I would use a mask that looks like a little grunge on the edges, sort of a fuzzy look uneven or similar projections as it fades to transparent edges.

    Is there anyone who knows how can I use a mask in Photoshop Elements to achieve this. I tried several tutorials, but I think that they are based on the full version of Photoshop than Photoshop Elements, because some menu choices for masks do not appear in the items when I try to follow the directions.

    I can create my own grunge template, but I have no idea how to make a mask and then apply the mask to the image before using it as a t-shirt. I do not feel myself, all I need is the PNG file with transparency on the edges to blend into the color of the t-shirt.

    I have attached a model of what I'm trying to do.

    I use Photoshop elements 11.

    Help, please! Thank you.

    I would like to know how to save the border as a model for other photos if you have the time to explain.

    The model will be a fixed size, so it can only be used on photos of the same size.

    For some reason any grunge tutorial framework link now goes to www.2020media.com, and I do not remember what was the last option.  In any case, I suppose you have something like that.  I created the image on a black canvas by as stated in my previous post.

    1. Ctrl-click on the mask to select the black part (or the portion of the picture if you created the image directly on the image).

    2. invert the selection so that the transparent border is now selected:

    3 copy the selection to the Clipboard (edition > copy).

    4. file > new from the Clipboard.  This creates the black border on transparent background.

    5. save the file as a psd or png. This is the model.

    To add the template to a photo:

    1. open the template file.

    2. Select > all (or Ctrl-A).  Copy the selection to the Clipboard (edition > copy).

    3. open the photo file and rename it to background layer.

    4. Paste from the Clipboard (Edition > paste). You now have this:

    5 Ctrl-click on the border layer to select the border.

    6 activate the image layer and delete the selection:

    8 remove the border layer.

    9. save the image as a png image.

    Hello

    Thank you

    This is a feature request, I've been logging since some versions. If you want to support this, please do the same. Currently, he must do so individually. If it's a complicated effect you can create a custom effect, because this will save you the time to apply.

  • Created the mask - how to display the mask?

    Seen about 5 tutorials, read 3 articles... see clearly how to make a mask. I'm here with my yellow box, my mask is feathered, but I can't go back to the pictures to SEE the mask in action.   How can I see the mask on video? I double-clicked everything and when I play the images, it's just a transparent background and my mask feathers.   Thanks for the help.Captghure (2).JPG

    Duplicate the item in 2 layers. One directly above the other so that they are as part of frame synchronization.

    Create a mask to the top layer on the badge. Pen tool

    Click MASK in this layer.  Try check the box reverse in order to understand what it does to the mask.

    It feather at your leisure.

    Apply a blur or whatever to this layer mask.

  • Automatically create clipping masks

    Hello

    I was watching this incredible video-

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=ebVFXphyJqw

    - and I noticed that the flash has a characteristic, which seems to automatically create clipping masks.

    She starts using the latter at 01:45. She draws the blue traces and apply gradients of forms that use the blue paths but also underlying art.

    I did find a quick way in illustrator to do it like that. (Trace the path - divide - livepaint - new filling can produce such results, but which is too complicated for fast frame...)

    There is also a right of the service earlier this year, where it clears the circular path segments. They are cut exactly at the points of intersection. Of course there are scissors and cutting in artificial intelligence, but flash method seems to offer looks a lot more convenient.

    Maybe these functions are buried in some side menus in artificial intelligence... I mean, I have Flash CS6, but I feel a lot more comfortable in artificial intelligence.

    If you know these features, especially the thing auto mask clipping, please tell me

    -Andrej

    Try to draw inside the mode in Illustrator.

    Regarding the cutting of access roads, try shapebuilder tool, it can also work with paths.

  • First CC Pro - creating a mask

    I was watching a first Pro CC on Lynda.com tutorial on creating masks. In the tutorial, the guy has added the curves effect (luminance) to images in his chronology. Then under the tab controls effects, just under the luminance curve, there was a 2options, one was to create a mask of the ellipse and the other to create a mask of polygon to 4 points. This is what is shown in the tutorial, but I do not have these options in my first CC Pro. Why is this? Im trying to hide a surface in my shot with it do the rest of the exposed sequence. Help, please. Thank you!

  • How to create a mask in Premiere Pro?

    I use Adobe first Pro CS 5.5, on an iMac end of 2013.  I would like to create a mask around a character in my video, if I can put it on top of other videos (making the background for the video, it is transparent or invisible).  I've seen tons of videos to make a mask, but it of just for the text and is not what I need because I need the character to move.  Any tips?

  • Advanced - actions apply an effect to a group

    IM im wrong but im guess this cant hoping to get...

    IM creating a page links to different sections of the side menu... all objects are in a group in the timeline... I want to create a button that makes the entire group then slide the blade of my slide... I can do if I the advanced made action drag each object unique indervidually, but this will take ages... I can get it to apply the effect to the whole group?

    I can do the permanantly just all that appears on the slide and abandon the idea of button, but I think it will look more professional and a bit more interesting if this menu is interactive

    Screen Shot 2013-11-07 at 08.58.42.png

    Another request feature on my list, I have introduced for 6, 6.1 and 7, but did not. It is not possible to apply an effect to a group, sighs...

    If you're on 7 shared action could save you some time, but you will need to apply to each object and also does not (yet) for effects customized, sighing still because for the most part, you can use the effects of movement by default since the trajectory for linear movements is exactly 400px.

    And now repeat again: the only way to have this feature added to Captivate is to record feature requests. As long as there is too little demand for a feature, it will never be realized.

  • Create a mask with a transparent visor in Captivate?

    Hey everybody,

    I'm sure Captivate based on the readings of the forums, but I thought I'd ask.

    Can I create a mask with a transparent visor in Captivate?  I would like a text box to display in the center of my step just like the animation flash below:

    http://www.crystalgraphics.com/PowerPoint/slide-wheel-diagram-3D-animated-blue-3-process-m p - 115.asp

    If captivate can do, I'll post on the Flash forums to determine the best Flash tutorials to complete these steps.

    BTW - I just thought of a way to layers of "mask" in Captivate.  This isn't really masking, but cut an image into several parts and saw the new image should rule out behind a slice of the existing image.

    1. create a slide with an image.

    2. when the user clicks on a part of the image, direct the user to another slide.  It has the same picture, but it is cut into layers.  The new image move back 1/2 of the picture in front of the other 1/2 of the picture.  It would make it look like he wears a transparent mask, but it's really just browsing a 'slot' in the middle of the image.

    It is difficult to explain without Visual effects.  If I decide to use Captivate in this project, I'll post my work and some screenshots of the process.

  • Apply the effect using PlayActionEvent

    Hello

    I am applying the effect revolution 3D using PlayActionEvent. Because the effects are not recordable, I added it using «Insert Menu Item»... "and file .aia saved, which contained 3 params (itnm, lcnm and cmid). These params were sufficient to call 3D Revolve Options dialog box by using the SDK, but nothing more. Two questions:

    1. Is it possible to remove the Options dialog box? I used kDialogOff, but without effect. I assume this dialog box because I haven't specified an additional parameter (like x, y, z rotation, angle, surface, etc.), which leads to the second question
    2. How to know the list of settings that are needed for a particular effect?

    As a general rule, it is at all possible to apply effects using PlayActionEvent?

    TNX

    Zdravko

    Sorry, I should have been more clear. The discharge I posted wasn't for actions - I don't know how we're going to apply a live effect through PlayAction. Those who entered the direct effect settings. If you create and assign a direct effect in action, the parameters are accessible in the form of a dictionary. If you get the settings like an AIDictionaryRef and you would set & get entries of the dictionary by using the display names.

    Here are a few (very very) rough code showing how you would:

    Sub ApplyLiveEffect (AIArtHandle art)

    {

    Assert (art);

    AIArtStyleHandle style = 0;

    Error AIErr = sArtStyle-> GetArtStyle(art, &style);)

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    Assert (style);

    AIStyleParser parser = 0;

    error = sArtStyleParser-> NewParser (& parser);

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    error is sArtStyleParser-> ParseStyle (parser, style);.

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    ASSERT (sArtStyleParser-> IsStyleParseable (parser));

    AILiveEffectHandle liveEffectId = 0; WHICH MUST BE FILLED IN

    AIParserLiveEffect parserEffect = 0;

    NOTE: AILiveEffectParameters is actually a typedef for AIDictionaryRef!

    Parameters AILiveEffectParameters = 0;

    Error AIErr is sLiveEffect-> CreateLiveEffectParameters(¶meters);.

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    AIDictionarySuite allows you to set values of parameter here

    error = sArtStyleParser-> NewParserLiveEffect (liveEffectId, settings, & parserEffect);

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    const ai::int32 count is sArtStyleParser-> CountPostEffects (parser);.

    You can also use pre-effect, but I find his usual poster; I'm a little

    blurry on the difference, but you can read about it in the docs

    error = sArtStyleParser-> InsertNthPostEffect (parser, count, parserEffect);

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    style = 0;

    error = sArtStyleParser-> CreateNewStyle(parser, &style);)

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    Assert (style);

    error is sArtStyle-> SetArtStyle (art, style);.

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    error = sArtStyleParser-> DisposeParser (parser);

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    parser = 0;

    }

    To change the settings, you can use AIArtStyleParserSuite::GetLiveEffectParams() & SetLiveEffectParams(). For the use of AILiveEffectHandle something like that at startup:

    AILiveEffectHandle FindLiveEffect(const char* name)

    {

    AILiveEffectHandleresult = 0;

    AI::Int32 count = 0;

    Error AIErr = sLiveEffect-> CountLiveEffects (&count);)

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    for (ai::int32 i = 0; i)< count;="" i++)="">

    Effect of AILiveEffectHandle = 0;

    Error AIErr = sLiveEffect-> GetNthLiveEffect (i, & effect);

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    const char * effectName = 0;

    error = sLiveEffect-> GetLiveEffectName (indeed, & effectName);

    THROW_EXCEP_IF (Error);

    Assert (effectName);

    TRACE ("effect of living found ' % s ' \n", effectName);

    If (strcmp (effectName, name) == 0) {}

    result = effect;

    break;

    }

    }

    return the result;

    }

    In this case, the effect name is "Adobe 3D Effect.
