Masking in PScs2

Postby Mitsurugi_ » Wed Jan 10, 2007 7:26 am

I know how to mask objects in photoshop but only one frame. How can I produce an animated mask in PS? I know how to do animated masks in AE but i'm not so great with photoshop.

I was always of the assumption that you went frame by frame and did it again and again. At least that's what i've always done. :?

My guess is that it may have something to do with filmstrip (you can export from premiere in that format) since than you have acces to all film frames at the same time and file. Than you could make a mask for a first frame, and copy it down to frames below, while adjusting it to changes in frames, and after the work save it as again as filmstrip. Still its my guessing, so if I were you I would stick to AE ;]

To me, that doesn't seem too different from making a path for your mask for the first frame (as its own image file), then copying that path to the rest of the frames (as their own image files) and adjusting it for changes in frames, etc. Except that you're only working with one file instead of many, I guess.
