    Unrelated question I had while watching this. If I was making a MoGRT in after effects to use in Premiere is there a way to attach something to a null in the template once inside Premiere? For instance, if I made the example in this video into a template but took out the square, could I use an object in premiere to take it's place (i.e. null would have the motion in the template but in Premiere I could assign something as a property in my template to take the place of the square)? I'm an expressions / templating n00b right now so just figuring this stuff out.

    one of the best tutors I know.. quick question >>> I want to create a rain dropping on an umbrella .. in my head I know I should make the Umbrella like a floor and place an expression that say "if this layer touches the umbrella Fade Out".. just don't know how to make it happen. At the time of this comment I'm just gonna try something on my own. cheers..maybe I'll send via IG

  • @ECAbrams

    @ECAbrams

    11 ай бұрын

    Expressions are probably not the best way to go. We can always use the umbrella as a matte for a layer of rain, but that means no rain appears where the umbrella is but it will appear below the umbrella. So, what we really need is to create the space protected by the umbrella and use that as a matte. It gets more complex if we want the rain to "splash" when it hits a surface. Often we should be using a particle system of some kind that can respond to hulls defined by masks and have a droplet explode when it makes contact. I hope that helps.
