RR, I've not seen the Wrigley tutorial, but do know how to use the track matte effect. Yes, you have to turn off visibility of that track, so plan your show accordingly and put the track matte on the highest track. I assume you've discovered that to animate the track matte mask, it has to be done in a separate sequence? You then bring that sequence onto your timeline and add the track matte effect to the sequence containing the animated mask. It also works to export your animated mask separately as numbered targas, then import the resulting numbered frames and THEN apply the track matte effect. Fewer steps to do it using a separate sequence. That other way was something I discovered when trying to learn how to use the effect. The manual is poorly written regarding those steps.

This may be obvious, but I want to check out my assumption... In order for the track matte effect to work, you have to turn off the track output where the matte resides. I assume this means that the entire video track cannot be used for anything else except another track matte, correct? Like I said, that's probably obvious, but it wasn't really made clear in the tutorial. It seems important, especially if the effect is used early in the video editing process. If I know that I will be layering some clips later in the process (tracks 2, 3, and 4), I may want to be sure and put the track matte on a higher track (5) rather than eliminate an easily viewed track for the rest of the editing process. Right? TIA, RR _____ Yahoo!
