I hope someone can help me with this:
I am animating a caracter with simple white lines who is walking. Under it, I uploaded a movie of a forest to make it walk in the forest. The movie is a "travelling" shot, so the trees are moving from the left to the right. Now I am looking for a way to hide the caracter to give the effect that it passes behind some of the trees. I guess I need to create some kind of a mask that is transparent and would only affect the caracter and not the video of the forest under it. And then I'd need to create a tracking effect to make the mask follow the movement of the tree, which I already know how to do it with the path tool and then the tracking tool.
I hope I'm clear
I guess my main problem is that I can't figure out how this kind of effect would be called, so I couldn't find any tutorials to learn how to do this...Thank you for your help!
I attached a sample of the video of the forest and a rough screenshot of the effect I want on the caracter.
