Text with inside footage
I need to have some text overlay some footage so that the footage is only revealed inside the letters of the text. I set the text as a luma matte and that does what I want except that it makes the colors in the BG footage desaturated. What am I missing?

What software are you using?
|
Oh yeah heh - After Effects 7 pro.
|
Where is your text coming from? AE? Photoshop?
|
if the text is floating in space (no background color on it), switch to an alpha matte, that'll use the shape of the letters rather than the brightness.
|
The text is created in AE. Only the luma matte shows the footage thru the text. The footage turns out monochrome =/
|
The trick turned out to be that I needed to set the luma mask on the footage and have it use the text as a mask - not the other way around.
|
glad you figured it out...these things are frustrating when you KNOW something should work and it won't cooperate.
