Okay, now that we have all our material, we're going to import everything into After Effects. I'm going to my project panel, I'm going to double click here I will find my material and start ringing might want to keep organized. So I'm going to create a folder, I'm going to call images. And there I'm going to place all my images. I'm going to do the same for all my videos. Now that I have all my images and videos in folders, I'm going to start creating the conversations for each portrait.
So I'm going to click in this icon and I'm going to create a composition of 1024 by 768. pixels and a prime rate of 25. Then I'm going to rename this compensation or trait one. And I'm going to choose an image and I'm going to place it in the composition. So right now, I will zoom out. So you can see our images placed in the composition. It's a little big, so I can change the scale by clicking Ahlberg layer and pressing s. I can change the scale and also the position.
If you want to keep both the scale and position you just click shift and B and you can change the position in the y axis and the x axis. What we're going to do is we're going to silhouette this person from its background So, I'm going to use technique inside After Effects, although you can do the same thing in Photoshop and sport a PNG file, but right now when I use a mask, so I'm going to click over the pen tool or select layer and start creating the dots. I don't really care about being too precise, but if you want, you can just use the Zoom tool and start handling every every backdoor point in a more precise ways, so you can change the direction of the handle of the second handle. By pressing ALT. And it's not exactly the same dental as in Illustrator, but it does a good job.
Makes a good job. So I think it works so you'll see the result. Okay, now we have here, our complete masked image. I think it works good. It's not perfect. We can adjust by clicking over the mask the timeline, you have a mask feather that basically creates a little sort of glow, dissipating the border, so maybe it can work.
Just a couple of weeks. And we have the mask opacity and we have the mask expansion so you can decide to keep a little bit more of the background or a little less. So it's a way to be more precise. I'm going to keep it simple right now.
