basics.
- Review of the basics
of LAYERS: CTI, in points, out points, trim and untrim, etc.
- Study over the old quizzes from this and past semesters. OK- on a
quiz answer means your answer was okay that time, (no points taken off),
but any future quiz or test, you would NOT get
full credit for the same answer.
That is what OK- (OK-minus) means as a grade for an answer.

- October 4th, 2011 assignment: MASKING and using MASKS on layers in
After
Effects?
The Bumping on
Sunset tutorial was covered briefly in class, and then you did it
as an assignment/project.
See LI List Items #1, #2, #3, and #4.
a. See Lesson 4: After Effects Apprentice textbook. Transparent areas are
creating using 3 approaches: Masks, Track Mattes and Stencils.
MASKING = "I want to see only the area inside this shape; make the
outside transparent."
Lesson 4 - Page 88 of After Effects Apprentice book.
b. Shape tools are used to create mask paths. Select the layer 1st, apply
or use the SHAPE tool 2nd.
Note: If no layer is selected, the shape tool will create a brand new
SHAPE LAYER. If a layer is pre-selected, then a SHAPE tool will
create a mask path.
c. Masks only effect the layer immediately underneath the layer, i.e. the
layer the mask is applied to. The mask either hides or reveals the
layer it is applied to. It has no effect on other layers.
Question: When do you get a new SHAPE LAYER instead of a MASK PATH?
