Creating Super Tight Junk Mattes
by Michael Fitzer on Nov 12, 2009
In every attempt auto-trace cuts off a good portion of the intended matte (just like Jeremy's problem).

Any suggestions?
Version AF?
by akiem asd on Oct 3, 2009
Allways when i see the video tutorial i feel silly, cause i never have the same version of AF, and use some plugin that i haven't. It will usefull if the people who make the tutorial, tell the current versión of the AF that he used, and if he used a plugin.
But anyway, thats a good tutorial.

that's a new one to me. I wish I had an answer.
Creating Super Tight Junk Mattes

This has been a great technique for me, but I often run into this: the auto-trace will cut off a section of the intended matte, usually something that doesn't move much, like a standing person's legs. The mask on the first frame is good, but after that the mask ends abruptly at some unknown edge.

Any ideas? I've fiddled around and gotten it to work, but I couldn't pin down what specifically did it. Other times, nothing doing.
