Description

Please note: This product was created before the new track matte system was introduced and is not designed to be used with newer versions of After Effects.

Have you ever needed to apply a single track matte to a bunch of layers individually? Yeah, me too, and it takes forever!

Well, it doesn't have to anymore. Copy Mattes is an essential addition to any After Effects workspace; the small, dockable panel allows you to copy any layer’s track matte and paste it to one, or to multiple other layers.

Features

  • Works with all types of layers.
  • If the 'Paste with Links' option is checked, then the track matte will be copied and pasted with relative property links. You can also ALT+Click the 'Paste!' button.
  • If the 'Replace Existing' option is checked, then any layer’s existing track matte will be replaced and hidden.
  • If both the 'Replace' and the 'Delete Existing' options are checked, then any layer’s existing track matte will be replaced and deleted.
  • You can add a custom prefix or suffix to the pasted track matte.
  • If the 'Trim to Layer' option is checked, the pasted track matte will be trimmed to the in and out points of the layer below.
