After Effects Tutorial - 19 - Masking with the Pen Tool

[MrJustliketht]

My pen tool is purple.. is that normal?

[sarumitai]

Bezier = beh Z A

[jefhart]

All of your videos spend the entire time talking about how to use the pen tool.

[EdwardNealChasteenII]

Ok here is a question I have not seen and that I would like to do. How did you get the comp panel and the layer panel to show together. I can only toggle between both but cannot see both.

[hariharanfilms]

You could have just referred to another tutorial 19 for pen tool instead of explaining the same thing until 3 mins 17 secs :). Still it's a good tutorial after that. Thanks! As Raashy mentioned, i think u meant anchor points when u said keyframes.

[GuiltyxSniper]

Haha, you don't need to read out of a book to find what RotoBezier is, just hover over it and it comes up with a brief explanation.

[mrActionpack]

whats mask expansion ?

[raystaar]

Love your videos. FYI it's pronounced BEZ e a. Thanks for all your hard work. I'm learning a lot.

[MichaelMansour64]

Why does my pc Render whenever I want to test something, and urs does not.

[Justemon]

you know how when you see people have clips of videos on top of videos like tobuscus showing you his other channels is that the blending layers thing that you showed in a previous tutorial?

[mangopearandapples]

Whats the difference between this vid and /watch?v=knZ3zJy-h7o ??

[TimON33333]

How to remove 2 objects?

Like 2 squares in diffrent areas?

When i add 1st mask and invert, its ok but when i add 2nd one, then it whow everything.

I know my ENG is bad, bud i hope u understand what i mean :)

[nickalicious0]

Half way there!

[MrUidX]

Why 2 19 tuts?

[BlueQazar]

Hey, Vin Diesel!

[Fong7X7]

[XxWh0g0TsN1p3dxX]

[TomTomHolm]

[PATRIKOSA]

albert einstein 0:30 Good tutorial i think u helped me alot

[kiseka8]

hi, thanks 4 this wonderful work u a doing as in teaching me after effects. my problem is the vidoes take a very long time to load. what can i do? thank u

[MightyArseFace]

FIIIIINNNNAAAAAALYYYYY!!!!!!!!­!!!!! i know how to move masks in timeline

[Mine2k]

I'm new to AE, and wanted to thank you for this. Your video was really clear.

Again, thanks and keep up the great work.

[yoKurz]

my masking shows up a bluish color and doesnt work, :( wat should i do?

[AbakusGT]

@yoKurz First select your layer, then the pen tool, otherwise you are creating a separate object

[NewlightRinoa]

sorry if its a dumb question but when you mask a picture how would you save it in JPEG ?

[eldflaug]

thanx man!

[eldflaug]

thanx man!

[GigglingGirI]

i love all your tuts you are the best teacher on youtube.

[Indupative]

definately the next Andrew Kramer....

[horsepheus]

I don;t get what you did that created two mask paths in the same layer... did you click mask path again after creating the first mask? When I do that, the dot just places itself on the back of the video I don't get a second one. And also how do you change the shape of the mask with the pen tool while still using the mask path? I don't get how to change the mask

[BlackSpid3y]

how come whenever i use the pen tool ( or even chroma key ) it turns black unlike yours at 0:52 , is there a way to set it ?

[Duschlauch]

Thanks for uploading this tutorial. You did a great job and it helped me a lot!

I guess everybody knows by now: calling "anchor points" "keyframes" happend by accident (keyframes are on the timeline).

[k1eee]

omg u are the only person to acually explain this, and i thank you

[TeamxDRx]

This helped alot thank yo

[GaryFishFx]

Thank you for taking the time to do these. I learned a lot.

Also, coming from a 3d modeling background, I've heard that RotoBezier spoken.

It's French and pronounced Bez E Ay

Hope this helps. :-) Thanks again.

[1000Errors]

around the 3 minute mark you say about adding KEYFRAMES, DO U NOT MEAN ADDING VERTICES?, . ooops, sorry didnt mean to shout, capslock :)

[mastersuv]

Control + Alt

[webtoon999]

Thanks you can even make a scope with a circle path.

[nivatias120]

tnx! i sub u!

[j0szek]

what I need to click if I want to get this "flying v"? I can't understand, ctrl and what? ;>

[HidingZebraTube]

@j0szek alt

[j0szek]

Thanks ;) It sounds rather like "o" on my old speakers ;p

[DJlui28]

@j0szek

Ctrl and Shift

[FFpozz]

i dont get the masks? they dont show up i_i? y?

[MyDutchproductions]

@FFpozz beneath the video is a little button, next to where the time stands, click that.

[tantootelevision]

@FFpozz there is a button underneath your preview and it says show masks at left bottom corner or something...

[GOOBER11r1]

@FFpozz if it does not show up go to Window, then Tools

[thelgend13]

ily k

[TruthSurge]

It's pronounced bez ee ay, not buhzeer. the er at the end is pronounced like a long "a".

[TruthSurge]

You keep referring to the nodes of paths as keyframes! They are nodes of a path, not keyframes.

[rtgmania]

i dont have "Mask Path" :@ :@ :@

[jkar1973]

its funny as tutorials go by the views are decreasing. at the last one i think i will be alone! :-)

by the way thanx a lot newboston.good job man.

[i2iz2Anna]
