[img]http://i1045.photobucket.com/albums/b455/arcorian99/Screenshot%209_zpsopqklc5z.png[/img]

So, "subtract" was not the right one. It was "add". And moving the tiff image to the top worked. 

Thanks for your help ;)]]></content>

Also, you're working on the tiff file, not the mp4 file.  Whatever you're doing in the tiff you can't see because the mp4 layer is on top of it.

Is the mp4 the original footage with rigs and everything in the shot and the tiff the blank plate?  If so, then you should move the tiff to the top.]]></content>

I just tried that. Sadly, no luck :(. Well, thanks for your help otherwise

[quote=Lechnology]Why did you set the first mask to none?[/quote]

I'm not sure. I just set that one to "subtract", but there was still no change. I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong, or IF I'm doing something wrong that is. Hmm.

I found this tutorial quite helpful.
Short and simple ;)[/quote]

I've seen this tutorial. Hmm, maybe I'm doing something wrong, but I didn't quite achieve this sadly :(. It had something to do with the mask. After I did the pen tool, it wasn't' really "masking" the way I thought it would.


If needed, I can show (via screenshot from my computer) where I was stuck.]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[For the past year or so, I've been using GIMP to do masking (rig removal) and making my Legos fly. And nowadays, it's a mix between Photoshop AND GIMP (I use each one at certain times and needs :cool:). Although these programs are great in all, they're EXTREMELY time consuming (as most of you guys know). So that's why I would like to switch over to After Effects, since the time is very minimalistic ;). I will say I know minimal knowledge of After Effects (how to add VFX like Action Essentials 2 and move it accordingly with keyframings and other), but I was wondering if you guys know and how to do rig-removal (masking to say) in After Effects? I've seen a few videos on how, but for what ever reason they aren't helping me in any way :(. Any help possible would be really nice

Anyway, if you guys need any more information, don't hesitate to ask ;).
