To color the hair all you need to do is create a reference frame and then using the ROTO brush (also a new feature in After Effects) you can now select the complex contours of the hair profile in the frame. Render the result to see your work in action. By tracing the mask, you can now add feather points to blend the skin where needed around the face. You do this by feathering the edges to blend with your “real” skin. The hair and neck must now be blended so you have continuity on your video.
Once you render the mask in your composition you will see that now you have an aged face on top of your original face but you still have to do some fine-tuning. Use the feathering and subtract functions to remove the eyes and mouth from your aged face. The process you need to follow is to import your aged image as a mask so that you can trace the outline of your mask to mask your original face. Remember to save your adjusted image as a JPEG. Play around with the slide settings to get comfortable with using them so that you can see the effects you can create for your composition.Īs you can see just by adjusting the facial age and hair thickness you already can add an amazing age effect to your image. The most important of these for our purposes is the FACIAL AGE slide setting that we are going to use. By using the SMART FILTER (in Neural Filters) option you activate a host of settings to use on your face to apply the aging. With the JPEG saved you can use the new features in Photoshop to age your face. Aging your Faceīy saving the first frame as your reference frame you are going to use. You now have created a 3D mask for your face that will follow the contours and perspective of your video. By rendering the warped image you will see the result of you tracking Mesh from Mocha Pro. Remember to render the tracking data so that it will follow your motion in the video. You then copy and paste the Mocha tracking data onto your composition so you have all your data ready for the aging process. So now that you have your meshed composition in After Effects, you mask out the face and set the color to red. Notice how powerful the functionality is in the new version of Mocha Pro.
With the tracking finished you can see that your mesh and spline have tracked your selection through every frame. When you click on track mode you will now see that your mesh will track the movement in your video in real-time. Always remember to click on ‘generate mesh’ in the settings so that your settings get updated to the composition. Using the adjustments for the Mesh layer you can now set the mesh to uniform mesh, you could also use the contrast setting and smoothness setting to add more definition to your mesh. In translations you can define what you are tracking, it is here that you will find the new MESH option. The first thing you do a set a spline to select the face that you are working with.
