Masking Tom in the Box - Adobe After Effects Tutorial
Jacquelin Vanderwood

February 15, 2004

 

1 For this demonstration I'll use the graphic below.

 

2 First thing we want to do is open a new Adjustment layer. Go to Layer>New>Adjustment. In the Effects panel, type in hue to bring up the Hue/Saturation filter.

 

3 Check Colorize.

 

4 Set Colorize Hue to 234 degrees.

 

5 Set Saturation to 100.

 

6 Set Light to 61.

 

7 Select Send Layer to Back.

 

8 Now drag it up one layer.

 

9 Click to solo the two bottom layers which will hide the other layers.

 

10 Select the Oval tool and create an oval.

 

11 Highlight the Adjustment layer and hit the letter M to reveal the mask shape.

 

12 Check Invert to invert. Set the layer to Subtract.

 

13 Hit the letter F in the layer to bring up Mask Feather. Set feathering to 168.

Hit the letter M to get back to the Masking Shape. Double-click the shape to move it. Click on the clock. Go to frame 2. Move the shape. Go to frame 4 and move the shape again. And then to the last frame and do the same.
