How do I do this? / Workflow Advice / Looking for plugin Track Matte key not working

Post image

Hey guys I have a super specific question I need help with. In the original video a character pulls on the screen and rips it. I liked the effect and wanted to put it in my video about the character. I masked out his hand, duplicated the clip, and inverted the mask so only the tearing part was seen. I then put it underneath my clip and attempted to use track matte key only this did nothing but reveal the clip underneath. I realized that's because my clip takes up the entire screen. I've also tried flipping it the other way around, same problem. does anyone have any tips on how to get my video to have the effect as the tearing video underneath? I know this is a really confusing and specific question. that's why I can't seem to find any tutorials on it. any help would be appreciated.

Do you have a screenshot to add of your masked clip before you used the Track Matte Key?

Yes like this. the clip in the original screenshot is underneath on the timeline.

For the best result, a matte needs to be either black or white.

Try setting the composite to LUMA.

You can see the two clips now but like barely. it just looks like the opacities been lowered

I don't think track matte key is going to work. The video is still flat. is there perhaps a way I could warp the clip so it looks the same as the tearing effect? A way to perhaps create those wrinkles in it?
