AWESOME After Effects HACK: SET MATTE | Adobe After Effects Tutorial

In this course, I'm going to tell you all about Set Matte. Set Matte is a fast and convenient way to hide and reveal content, like text, images, and video. There are other ways to do this same process, such as with Alpha Mattes, but Set Matte reduces the number of layers in your project and also makes the boundaries for revealing and hiding content more precise.

You're the first one to mention that the layers MUST be rasterized for this to work! Thank you!

Man! This gotta be the most well-used 8 minutes of my life. This tutorial is packed with very useful information. I was ready to give up on the set matte with an image I couldn't rasterize and then at 6:20 you showed the last secret. Thank you so much. Look forward to seeing more of your content.

[@7MinuteAETutorials]

Thanks so much for the comment. I'm glad this helped you out!

[@stevewelch4784]

Great tutorial. It’s that very last tip about precomping videos and images that I needed. Cured my headache 👌

[@7MinuteAETutorials]

Glad I could help

[@mikeoley13]

I've been using after effects for 12 years now and I didn't know about 4:36.
Thanks. Set Matte is super useful but SUPER frustrating if you don't understand how it works.

Wow .... This is amazing TUTORIAL ¡¡

[@maxpandaPlus]

This was amazing. Thank you so much you’ve saved headaches!

[@MoonlightSanctuary]

I'm enjoying your tuts, Jeff. Thanks so much for the absence of BS and bad music! Usually, I hide & reveal text with a mask. Using a shape layer instead of my usual mask on each text layer looks faster because only one layer of "masking" (the shape layer) is needed, right?

[@ezraezeiru2082]

Great tutorial!

[@skraghav22]

very nice tutorial...thanks

[@vincentsequeira3723]

[@AmritSingh-sc7fr]

Sir, Can please you make videos on morphing text?

[@gianluigidautilia6417]

question ...but why not pre-compose all layers you need (in this case the Text layers) then using the track matt on them?

[@jaydrawsthings7201]

Can you stack more than one on top of each other? I'm trying to figure out how to create an x-ray like effect. Where an object is shown (say a 2D cartoon arm), then a box moves over it and reveals bones. So one Set Matte would mask the arm image and the other would reveal the bones image. I might be going about this all wrong as I'm pretty green in After Effects but my searching landed me here. :)

[@mergusan3635]

helpful

[@Rishav520]

hello SIr ... i somehow cant find the Source column in my set matte where i can select masks and effects .. can you please help me out ..awaiting reply .. thank you

[@MagicHalftime]

thinks

[@jordanus21393]

This has yet to work for me. DOes anyone else have the same problem? I have a shape layer, I have an image, I place "set matte" on image I want, i set take matte from desired shape layer and... nothing happens.

[@7MinuteAETutorials]

This is addressed but when you have an image or footage, it needs to be precomped and then rasterized. Set matte only works with rasterized layers

[@vooshmoozik6185]

technically longer than 7 minutes even after your intro, good tut though

[@knowledgeispower2155]

You have nice stuf... But too much speed is minus point to your videos
