NEW Track Matte Layers!️Adobe After Effects (2023)

Great tutorial. many thanks!

Thanks man!! you saved my time!!

hi sir, Thanks a lot for this video and you've really made my learning super easy,
one question that i would like to ask is that why you brought ai files as it is i mean you could have saved png files from ai and then bring it in ae.. can you please clear my query..TIA

That was a big help, thanks!

Sorry but i got stressed about your notification sound. it's little bit annoying.

i hated this format is there any way to go back to the old one?

fucking adobe

They had to change something that fucking works

Sorry Boone, this isn't clear at all. I fail to understand why Adobe does not produce their own tutorials on new application features.

As someone new to AE, I'd have to say this is one of the best tutorials I've seen that will help me immediately. Subscribed!

Thanks for this! Super helpful.

Man, just saved my day! Thank very much!!

Thanks so much! Subscribed.

thank you for the tutorial!

Thank you! I just came back to after effects after a year break and was utterly confused with the missing mattes. You're the first person I've seen explain this. Much appreciated.

hiya thank you for the video do you know why when i do those steps it makes the 'flag' in this example black and white and doesn't allow colour?

I hate the change…. it made flow complicated. If it’s not broke why fix it

I'm an Iranian political refugee who just arrived in Germany and trying to learn after effects with your videos and building a new life here.
I'm glad i found you.

a big thanks for the free vector maps. i was on the berg of making my own. saved me so much time.

Thank you for this great tut... I use the set matte effect with puzzle matte render passes from 3D appplications... it is really handy in this situation... and probably the only instance someone would need to use it...

Thank you so much, saved me at work today as I needed to quickly render something with track matte and updated to 2023 only yesterday.

Hey thanks for explaining this! Was working on one of my classes finals and was confused as to where all the alpha and luminance maps went. This video was a huge save, thanks!

Thanks! This is great. Happy holidays!

This is awesome!!!!!

I heard it now but this means you'll live in our presets forever! Thank you @Adobe, keep this guy happy.

Thank you! That helped sooo much <3

Breaks if any layers have 3d enabled.

Hi Boone! Writing at your request. I happened to use the Set Matte effect quite a bit in the past. Seemed relatively easy to produce simple effects with 2-3 objects, more complex rigs required more focus and trial/error. Also, before 2023, there was no other way to achieve this type of effect. Clearly the 2023 Track Matte Layers is a dramatic improvement! Appreciate you sharing this!

3d how do i do it?

Great job, helps immensely

Great video. Instead of going to Hue Sat to take out color, just drop a tint effect on it. Nothing to tweak.

RIP Set Matte

Honestly was shocked at this change and it will take some getting used to. Hated it at first but after watching this I understand how much better it is for workflow!!

Thank you for this tutorial!

This is great. I still have a problem with track mattes when i add borders to the ai layer via right click + layer styles.

this s a game changer!!! wooo! thanks so much for this tutorial

We love Boone so much :)))

I was in my vfx class doing a tutorial from 2016 and I was wondering why everyone was able to select luma matte in the track matte tab except me. Haha pathetic classmates! you don’t even realise I’m an update ahead of you! your 4 weeks after effects skills pale in comparison to my also 4 weeks of after effects skills except I used the new track matte system ONCE!

This is cool, but what about delivering projects to studios or designers that are not updated to 2023?

Very cool! Still hestitant to upgrade my AE on my M1 Mac lol but this is very very useful! Congrats on the plugins. Looking forward to see demo them for us!

Hi Boone, I especially love your videos, they have been very helpful to me.
But as Chinese, every inch of land is very important and serious to us, even if Taiwan is not under the management of the Chinese Communist Party now, it should still appear in the map of China. Sorry for saying something unrelated to the matte.

Wow you explained the new feature very well.

Keep learning from you. Thanks Boone ❤️

YESSSSSSSSSSSS! I have experience in Photoshop and have always been a bit annoyed that you can’t (couldn’t) do something like a clipping mask in AE. This is awesome!!! Thank you a million for sharing 🙌🏼

First, congrats on being able to work for Adobe to make stuff for them. Second, as someone that suffers from a condition that effects my memory this makes things SO MUCH simpler and easier to remember without having to thumb through a notebook looking for the steps to make these types of effects. I've already updated to the latest version but haven't had anything come my way that requires this yet but I am now just interested in playing with it. Yep, I think I could actually enjoy and have some fun just messing about in After Effects instead of banging my head on a wall trying to remember what should be simple steps. Cheers! Stay Healthy and Stay Sane!

bro when u thank your patrons, add cool animations that u have created , in the background... it will be great motivation for us in the beginning of the video...
