Nice tutorial. I do this by adding a shift channels effect to the shadow layer and setting alpha to luminance and R, G and B to Full off.

Does that hair key have alpha or only hair have been preserved ????

@ActionVFXofficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! We are creating a black and white matte of the hair detail, which can then be used as an alpha. In the case of the tutorial; we used Luma Matte to pass down that matte to another layer as an alpha channel. Let us know if this helps!

5:06 Wouldn’t you typically precomp the elements instead of parenting them?

@ActionVFXofficial 2 жыл бұрын

Hello! Great question! In the case of this tutorial, we have an adjustment layer as the layer that generates the shadow, and adjustment layer needs another layer below it for it to work. If we isolate the adjustment layer in another precomp, it would not be able to affect the background plate. -Danasa

How do you make the masks appear in the bottom left corner? They just magically appear there after we select the points :o EDIT: Had to figure out that we're supposed to press "M"... I followed your tutorial but my footage doesn't end like yours.. I mean, I don't even know what happened to mine, it just stayed cut with the mask I made. I literally followed every step you did! Does the mask move if the head and hair moves? I'm assuming it doesn't :\

@ActionVFXofficial Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the question! For the mask to move with the head and hair, you will need to manually keyframe the masks to move with them or track them with a planar tracker. - Jonathan
