get a copy of commotion 2.0 it has some very nice masking functions. you

"just" draw a (vector)path around your object in the first frame. then

adjust this path in the last frame (or next key/important frames)

commotion tweens this path for you. tr�s cool!


commotion does the trick automatically if you filmed your object against

a blue or green screen (in fact any other color will do - but if you

filmed it against black and you object is black as well then bla bla ;

you know what i mean). you just pick the color you want to be

transparent. this can also be accompliced in Adobe AfterEffects. have

fun!
