While it’s true that your goal is rarely if ever the one set out at the beginning of the chapter—to make output match source exactly—there are stages alo...

    Expressions are cool. You can use them to create amazing procedural effects that would otherwise be impossible (or at least impractical). You can also use them to create complex relationships between various parameters. Unfortunately, many After Effects users are afraid of expressions. Don’t be. The fact that you’re reading this chapter indicates t...

    The clip from Figure 6.27 can be garbage matted procedurally in this manner. Just as with the cmatte, create a hard, chewy matte that pushes all of the background pixels to black and the foreground to white. Now spread that matte using one of the following methods.

    When you ask After Effects to “guess” how to interpret the footage (on import, by choosing Guess in the Interpret Footage dialog, or pressing Ctrl+Alt+G/Cmd+Opt+G), it looks for sections of uniform color that are mixed into edge pixels, indicating that the correct setting is Premultiplied.
