"Stencil Alpha" - Not What I Thought
by Nate Hanson on Jul 30, 2008 at 4:52:34 pm

I have a logo (the letters 'aim') that I want to turn into a window that the video shows through. Then as the logo scales up, it reveals the entire full screen of video.

I can make it work using Stencil Alpha, as long as the video clip I want to use is inside of AE. However, I'd like to use this logo on top of clips in Final Cut. When I turn off the video clip (inside of AE) and send the logo out to Final Cut, the transparency from Stencil Alpha doesn't exist.

How do I tell AE to use my logo as transparency, so that I can lay this logo over any video clip in Final Cut and have the video show through the logo?

Thanks for your help!
