Ask Brad an After Effects Question!

[Niotex]

If I have some time to spare I'll see if I can whip something up using fractal noise. I'm using CS5.5 myself atm but as long as you're using CS3 or up it should be exactly the same.

Thanks, that would be awesome, if you have the time. I'm using CS6.

For this effect it shouldn't be a problem. I'll see to it tonight.

Scatterbrained, busy with other stuff on the side.

Thanks, that helps a lot.

Now, do I have to mask every frame?I'll die. If you have tricks on how to do that contour type thing, that would be siick. (Also, I can do clips that are green screened, so I'll just green screen, but I don't know how to make the guy I'm green screening into entirely black with white outlines?)

Also, how do I turn a (black) solid into an inverted alpha track matte?

A possible alternative would be a combination of what I answered here http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 3&t=108412 or go straight to YT tut and what I answered to this http://www.animemusicvideos.org/forum/v ... 3&t=109350 or go straight to YT tut

Agreed with Mitch. Brad isn't quite as much around as he used to anymore currently, and it's getting pretty bulky, so it's easier to search through separate topics than it is in a single one.
