Using filters on alpha channels in Motion
There are filters you can use to manipulate or even replace a layer’s alpha channel. For
example, the Keying filters create transparency by generating an alpha channel based on
color or luminance values in that layer. Keying filters are usually used on layers that have
no alpha channel information; these filters add a new alpha channel to the layers to which
they’re applied. For more information on the use of the keying filters, see Intro to color
keying in Motion.
The process of improving a keying effect or of customizing an alpha channel created using
shape or image masks may require the use of special filters. Although you can apply any
filter to a shape or image mask to modify that mask’s effect, the filters described in this
section modify a layer’s entire alpha channel, including the sum of all masks and other
filters applied to that layer.
