Eight Point Garbage Matte Premiere Pro Cc 47

How to Use an Eight Point Garbage Matte in Premiere Pro CC 47

A garbage matte is a type of mask that allows you to isolate a specific area of your video and apply effects to it. For example, you can use a garbage matte to remove unwanted objects from your footage, or to crop out parts of the background that are not green-screened. A garbage matte can have different shapes and sizes, depending on how many points you use to define it. In this article, we will show you how to use an eight point garbage matte in Premiere Pro CC 47, which is the latest version of Adobe's video editing software.

Step 1: Apply the Opacity Effect

The first step is to apply the Opacity effect to the clip that you want to mask. You can find the Opacity effect in the Effects panel, under Video Effects > Transform. Drag and drop the effect onto your clip in the Timeline panel, or double-click on it to apply it. Alternatively, you can select your clip and go to Effect Controls > Opacity.

Step 2: Create a Mask with the Pen Tool

The next step is to create a mask with the Pen tool. The Pen tool allows you to draw any shape you want, and adjust it with bezier curves. You can access the Pen tool by clicking on the icon next to the word Mask in the Effect Controls panel, or by pressing P on your keyboard. Then, click on your clip in the Program Monitor to start drawing your mask. You can create as many points as you need, but for this example, we will use eight points. To close the mask, click on the first point that you created.

Step 3: Adjust the Mask Feather and Expansion

The last step is to adjust the mask feather and expansion. The mask feather controls how soft or hard the edges of your mask are, while the mask expansion controls how much you want to expand or contract your mask. You can adjust these parameters by using the sliders in the Effect Controls panel, or by dragging the handles on your mask in the Program Monitor. A higher feather value will create a smoother transition between your masked area and the rest of your clip, while a lower value will create a sharper edge. A positive expansion value will make your mask bigger, while a negative value will make it smaller.

And that's it! You have successfully created an eight point garbage matte in Premiere Pro CC 47. You can now apply any effects you want to your masked area, or invert the mask to apply effects to the rest of your clip. You can also animate your mask by using keyframes, or track it with the motion tracker. For more tips and tutorials on Premiere Pro CC 47, check out [this website].
