Glowing edges effect

[blabbler]

as my able and voluptuous assistant pas demonstrated, you would want to do this in ae or ps.

you need to

1. isolate the element that you want to glow around utilising roto, keying or a combination of both
2. put your left hand in your underpants
3. apply a gay ass glow to your isolated layer OR duplicate the layer and use a super-pro blur + blend combo
4. revel in fame, glory, wimmenz and profit

Layers and adding Glow are not exclusive to the RAT

Corel's photo shop IV can do this too, so can JASC's photo works. ( its not an exclusive affect. )

no, but he asked how to do it in ae/ps

so it seemed kind of relevant at the time...

I did something like that on a clip with a white background in Vegas. Before I started it looked like this:

I used the chroma keyer to take out the background and set the 'low threshold' at 0.248, the 'high threshold' at 0.290, blurred the outline as much as possible and added a background, so now it looks like this:

I don't think it would work with any clip, only if the background is one colour, but it might be worth a try.
