Difference Between Track Matte and Mask in Adobe After Effects CC (2017)

Sorry for the honesty, but you took something very simple and made it very hard to understand, even by pausing and repeating a few of the sections of the video.

You didn't use different colors to help visualize it and you didn't properly distinguish both tools in practical ways.

Don't want to be rude, but honestly, that's not a very great video.

Hi! Does anyone know which of these two renders faster? One or two don't make much difference but I will have loads of layers where I can either apply the mask or track matte (they are the same visually) and I would also like to optimize the rendering time.

I was trying to figure this out without watching a course or sthg, clear as water! thx man!

Thanks!

I fucking love you

You are talking way toooooo fast and way to too much information within every single sentence. I cannot learn anything from you.

Great tutorial, thanks for sharing!!!... Greetings.

that is useful. thanks. can you please make a video about how to use a track matte for different objects that are on separate layers in one composition? like animating objects to go into a box and disappear when they fall in.

Thanx Dude that was very help full.... Ged Bless Ya.......

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much sir.. long day problem is solved..I'm really excited.. thank thank you ❤️❤️❤️

Please where can I find the Slit mask

Thank you, this was a great tutorial! Just what I needed (:

Is there a good way to make multiple objects apply to the same track matte? Like for example, I have a series of balls bouncing but I only want them visible behind a particular part of the screen?

I can only say what many others are saying: This is perfect. Simple and straight forward. Exactly the way I like these things and without all sorts of fancy pro jargon that are without importance. And the example is so generic I can use it in all kinds of scenarios where it isn't used for text but for parts of a scene. But the principles are so well explained that it is easily transferrable.

You're a genius

Thank you

Great stuff, all you need to do now is get a grip of your audio

you should reply to your comments. People here having same issues as me and no explanation. You must have not included some steps or details.

Very helpful!
Explained well.

Thank you so much!

This was awesomely straight forward and easy to follow. Thank you!

any way to do this with multiple layers of text without pre composing?

thank you so much it so simple and saves our time ..love from Nepal

on point! you touched a topic that made me crazy and yes, i did use to reverse track my masks!
Legend! love it

Thanks for the video!!!! is it possible to use one single layer as a track matte for 2 different objets? imagine the same example as in your video, but with 2 different text strings. Can i define a rectangle in which both text will be vissible using this tool??? thanks!!

ty bro

Thank you. The video was helpful

Still don't get it.

its Really helped me Thank you

What is the line doing? Can't you just add a shape layer with a rectangle?

My brain just blew up lol. It's like simple but when you think of the possibilities...You catch a headache lol. Thanx for the vid.

this track matte is automatically coming over text and moreover i cant add other text. Can you tell me solution to this.

So use a track matte when you don’t want the matte to track, and use a mask when you need it to track.

Thank you very much...

good video!

Nice Tut!. I have created some free custom animated luma/alpha mattes to use as transition or overlays in my channel, Feel free to check them out and let me know if you like them (:

Please make a video on how to go inside a ring and come from another ring in different positions.

Thank you!

This helped me a lot! Thank you!

thanx. you helped me.

How to add more compositions at a single step
