To apply it, I’ll drag and drop onto my second shot on video track 2.Ĥ. Next, I’ll grab my track matte clip from the project panel and place it on video track 3, perfectly aligned with my second shot.įor the secret sauce, I’ll go into the Effects panel and grab the Track Matte Key. Put your track matte clip onto the video track I’ll place my second clip over the first, right around the point where I want to transition between the two.Ģ. Find two clips that you want to transition between Let's take a step-by-step look at how we can use one of these mattes to transition between two clips in Adobe Premiere Pro.ġ. Covering the entire screen allows for a perfect transition between two clips.
All of these transition clips are simple animated shapes with alpha channels that animate in and move to cover the entire screen at some point. This pack includes 200 different transitions in 9 different categories, including 30 circle transitions. Take a look at the new Prism transition pack from Rocketstock. Everything else will be transparent. So how can we use this circular track matte as a transition? Simple-animate it. Once I apply this as a track matte to my source clip, we'll only see what's in the white circle. Everything you see in black is transparent. The track matte is a simple white circle with a transparent background. This simple composite consists of two layers-the track matte and the source clip. As an example, take a look at the still images below. Because of this, it requires at least two layers to achieve. When using a track matte, you are transferring the transparency information of one layer and assigning it to another. Track mattes, on the other hand, are less so. Once again, this is easy and simple to execute. Once the chroma key effect is applied, those specific color values will be transparent, revealing the layers below. In most cases, you’re using either a green or blue screen. When you apply a chroma key effect to a layer, you’re basically telling the effect to make the layer transparent at specific color values. Everything is neatly placed in a single location and works from the top down.Ĭhroma keying is another relatively simple compositing method. When you move or change any transform attributes of your layer, the mask will change along with the layer. They're also quite easy to work with as they are applied to the layer you're masking. You can use the pen or shape tools to easily mask out part of a layer, in turn revealing the underlying content. A mask is exactly what it sounds like-it masks or hides part of a layer by simply making it transparent.
This might be due to the fact that other compositing methods are much more straightforward. In the wonderful world of compositing, the track matte can be a confusing tool.
The only good track matte is an animated track matte.
