	Creating Super Tight Junk Mattes that's a new one to me. I wish I had an answer. by Aharon Rabinowitz on Sep 1, 2008

	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. http://img357.imageshack.us/img357/6808/picture10sp9.png 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. by Jeremy Mullen on Aug 28, 2008
