The importance of Mattes in After Effects and why you need them

If you know how to use After Effects, then I would assume you must've been quite familiar with mattes. 

But if you're new to this software, then I'd highly suggest to check out this tutorial I made where I show you everything you need to know about mattes, and why they're so essential in After Effects. 

Essentially, a matte is used to hide part of one layer in After Effects using another layer. Mattes play a very important role in texture reveals & compositing. 

I guarantee you that understanding exactly how mattes work will open up a world of possibilities for your animation & filmmaking. Hope you'll enjoy this video. :)
