Apple Motion
Video Tutorial …

I just wanted to share a very valuable and interesting technique of creating Mattes from any of your animations, this can be then used for all kind of things.

In this tutorial I am going to show you how to create and render a Mattes in Apple Motion. If you do not know what are Mattes then I suggest you do a little research online. You will find that creating and knowing how to use Mattes is essential knowledge for any Motion Graphic Designer.  The option that enables you do render any colour movie is somewhat hidden. In this tutorial I show you a very cool trick that you will be using over and over again.

Please take a second and say thanks in the comments section people after watching the tutorial.

    Cool Zak,
    This matt tutorial was incredibly simple and I’m immediately thinking of some interesting things I want to try with this. As usual, it was something a little out of the standard way of doing things. That was a very nice CHristmas present for the followers of embryo.

    HI Pat,

    Thanks very much. I thought it is essential tool for making animations. This was prompted on Creative Cow Apple Motion Forum last night. I have seen different solutions but all quite elaborate, for me this one is the easiest and the best way to make track mattes.

    Not a bad little tutorial, zak – just, it’s spelled “matte”
