Re: "Stencil Alpha" - Not What I Thought
by Nate Hanson on Aug 3, 2008 at 9:41:12 pm

Hey guys, thanks for the help. I got it to work with this solution:

Made a copy of the logo and placed on top of the precomposed title sequence. I used it as a track mat set to Alpha Inverted.

The great thing about that (as opposed to stencil alpha) is that you can fade in the layer and the layers below are only affected relative to the amount of the layer's own opacity. Stencil Alpha, on the other hand, acts like a cookie cutter at all times...even if it's own opacity is set to 0%.

I sent it out to Final Cut and it works just like I wanted it to.

Thank you for the help - saved me a lot of trial and error time!
