# cheers
I totally stopped with the whole video/after effects gubbins when I quit my job with videos etc. Primarily because my laptop is gash and could load after effects after about 10 minutes, but clicking anything led to full motherboard meltfuck.

# Think "Full Contact" - that Amiga game by Team 17

# Sounds about right
you can create an animated mask to create a garbage/junk matte for chroma key work making it easier on the program to key out the background (green screen or Blue Screen)
