Working with Multiple Track Mattes-Help

I have 2 track matte questions:
1 - I have created a shape in Titler to use as a matte....white verticle rectangle. I want this "shape" to hold its postion in frame while I move video underneath to reveal a portion of the image. I have video on v1...matte on v2....track matte fx on v1 using v2 as matte. How can I acheive this? I want the matte to cut a hole and allow me to repo video underneath without moving the matte.
2 - How would I acheive this with multiple individual matte shapes stacked? In other words, several layers using different shapes as mattes...1 for for each layer....allowing repo of each layer and not effect the matte position.
Is there a better way to do this other than track matte? And not going into AE.
thanks

Thanks for the Reply Steven..
I'll go deeper just so I understand.
Lets say I have 2 separate matte shapes: a circle and a triangle....that will be used to cut out 2 different layers of video.
I want to position the triangle in the right side of frame. The video I want to be revealed in that matte position will be placed on v1....the matte on v2.
- I have to take the opacity down on the matte so I can see where to repo my video underneath so that I can chose what portion is seen in the triangle.
- Then nest the matte and video "fill"...essentially building a precomp
- Turn off the matte in the nest
- Cut the Nested Seq into my Main Seq
- Then copy the matte out of my nested seq to keep position intact, and paste that matte into my main seq...in this case on v2
- Bring Matte opacity back up to full
- Add Track Matte FX to v1
- In Track Matte FX settings...chose v2 for matte
Now I have the video in v1 being revealed thru the matte on v2. If for any reason I wish to adjust the repo of video on v1...I must go back into the nest.
To continue and add the Circle shape cutout...I place the video "Fill" on v3 and the circle matte on v4 and repeat above steps.
Is this the correct procedure?

  • Working with multiple video tracks

    When I have 2 video clips on different tracks at the same time, there is a red line above the track and, if I try to play the movie, the word "rendering" is shown during this section.
    I have a long clip on track one and want to add a small cutaway shot on track 2, while keeping the audio of track 1 going.
    Since I need to adjust the video in/out/placement in track 2 so it works with the track 1 audio, I can't keep re-rendering at every tweak. There must be a faster method.

    All the video was shot in 1440x1080, at the exact same camera settings (Canon Vixia HF100, LP mode). However, the sequence is 1920x1080 (which was the setting of a previous project).
    If I try to change the sequence settings to 1440x1080, the image gets stretched. Any suggestion?

  • Working with Multiple Files in Workspace Layout

    If I was working with multiple files in the workspace layout, they each used to be available for selection from a tab.  Now I can either cascade the files horizontally or vertically - but not have them appear in a tab across the top of the workspace layout.
    Does anyone know how to set the workspace to present multiple files in tabs?  I have CS3.

    Tanya,
    This may not help, but the times when that happens to me is when I go too fast and some operations haven't finished. I then try to select a file that hasn't completed and the file I select is in the process of having the data updated. The worst is when it is trying to render as I am doing something.
    I hope this helps some.

  • Problem when working with multiple sequences

    Dears,
    In order to make life easier (I am currently working on a rather long project), I work with multiple sequences, one per chapter.
    My problem: I named one sequence "assembly sequences" in order to add the various sequences. I dropped the sequence no 1, then no 2. All works fine, beside that when playing the sequence no 2, I see two black lines on top and bottom of the screen for the all length of the sequence. Which is not the case when I click on the sequence itself and play it independently.
    Any idea how to solve this ?
    Thanks
    Nic

    Thanks, what happened is that :
    1st sequence is like this : Frame size 720x576 pixels, video rate 25fps, Compressor DV-Pal. And I think it is the one appropriate for me and my country.
    2nd sequence is like this : Frame size 720x480 pixels,
    video rate 29.97 fps, Compressor DV-DVPRO-NTSC.
    I think I should change the second sequence setting, but can I do it after all the work I have done, and continue making a 3rd, 4th and so on ?
    Tx for your precious help,
    Nicolas

  • I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes.  only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

    I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

    Couple of questions:
    What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
    WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
    What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
    Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
    Hope that helps

  • When working with multiple artboards, are there separate layers panels for each artboard?

    Just started working with multiple artboards in ai but have read nothing about the layers panel, whether you use one layers panel for all the artboards or if the layers panel is duplicated so there is one for each artboard.

    I don't really understand your problem, but I've had headaches with managing a GUI before (as many programmers have, I'm sure).
    My best advice, if the scheme your using to build and manage a GUI is too confusing for you, the programmer, to easily understand/manage, change the scheme. Even if this means recoding a good deal of your program (though, hopefully, you've kept the GUI as seperate from your functional code as possible) it should be worth it.
    Perhaps a clearer explination of your problem would help better illustrate your problem?

  • Trying to create DVD with multiple tracks that automatically goes to a slug

    I'm doing a DVD for a live show where video and live performance are going back and forth. I want to make a DVD with multiple tracks that plays a movie and returns to a looping black slug (while the live act is happening). Then when the tech person presses next chapter it goes to the next movie (or chapter). That chapter/movie then returns to a looping black slug at the end of the movie (while the next live act plays) and so on and so on. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks.

    I would think one of the easiest ways to do this is make each clip end jump to a black menu with a hidden button on it that links to the next clip. The menu can stay there as long as you like. Instead of pressing the next chapter button, get your tech to press the 'enter' or 'play' button... if there is only one button on each black menu, then this is what will activate. Have each button point to the next clip that you want. Use the title button to get back to a main menu, if you ahve created one for the disc.

  • Creating a cd with multiple tracks from a multitrack session

    I am trying to burn an audio cd with multiple tracks created from a multitrack session. Adobe 3.0 used to make this an easy process. I am only able to burn a cd with a single track regardless of range markers, cd track markers, etc.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi and thank you for your reply. I am used to the functionality of audition 3.0. I place tracks from my hard drive into a session (usually 18 or so). I used to add markers, then file>export>multitrack mixdown>entire session. The resulting mixdown used to keep the markers. I am not familiar with how to save each track separately and I place the markers in the file during the session creation but before export>mixdown, etc.
    Thanks

  • I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I have purchased a ringtone in the iTunes Store for my iPad, and I cannot find the download together with my music. I have received the invoice but I have no product. I am working with iOS6, if that helps. Can anybody help me?

    I am confused. Do you mean you found the music, not the tones, or you can't find either?
    If the former, then this is normal. You can't redownload tones from the Cloud.

  • My iphone is hanging while working with whats up. kindly help

    my iphone is hanging while working with whats up. kindly help

    I assume you mean whatsapp.
    First double click the home button and swipe the app closed.
    If it still doesn't work try a reset. Press and hold the home and power buttons until the Apple logo appears. Release both buttons. Wait until your iPhone starts on it's own.
    If whatsapp is still giving you problems try deleting and reinstalling the app.

  • Multiple Thumb Slider with Multiple Track Colors

    Hi All,
    Does any one implemented a Multiple Thumb Slider component with Multiple Track Colors. Please find the screen shot of the component below which I am talking about.
    Any ideas or any link or sample source of code given would be highly appreciated.
    If I drag any thumb the colored section between any two thumbs should increase or decrease.
    Thanks,
    Bhasker

    Hi,
    There is a sort of workaround I made myself. Basically you set up your slider into a canvas container and add new boxes exactly at the position between your thumb buttons, in order to imitate your 'tracks'. Look the image below and notice that the black tracks are in fact VBoxes. For different colors, make each VBox different backgroundColor style.
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml">
       <mx:Script>
              <![CDATA[
          import mx.containers.VBox;
          var tracks : Array = [];
          public function changeSliderHandler(event : Event) : void {
             for (var i : int = 0,j : int = 0; i < tracks.length; i++) {
                var track : VBox = tracks[i] as VBox;
                track.setStyle('left', slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
                track.setStyle('right', slider.width - slider.getThumbAt(j++).xPosition + 3);
          public function addTrackHandler(event : Event) : void {
             var track : VBox = new VBox();
             track.setStyle('backgroundColor', '#000000');
             track.width = 0;
             track.height = 2;
             track.setStyle('bottom', '7');
             tracks.push(track);
             canvas.addChild(track);
             slider.values = slider.values.concat(0, 0);
             slider.thumbCount += 2;
              ]]>
        </mx:Script>
       <mx:Panel title="My Slider" height="95%" width="95%"
                 paddingTop="5" paddingLeft="5" paddingRight="5" paddingBottom="5">
          <mx:Canvas id="canvas" borderStyle="solid" height="40" width="100%">
             <mx:HSlider id="slider" minimum="0" maximum="100" thumbCount="2"
                         change="changeSliderHandler(event)" values="{[0,0]}" showTrackHighlight="false"
                         percentWidth="100" snapInterval="1" tickInterval="1"
                         allowThumbOverlap="true" showDataTip="true" labels="{[0, 50, 100]}"/>
             <mx:VBox id="track1" backgroundColor="#000000" width="0" height="2" bottom="7" initialize="{tracks.push(track1)}"/>
          </mx:Canvas>
          <mx:Button label="Add track" click="addTrackHandler(event)"/>
       </mx:Panel>
    </mx:Application>
