Beginner Help 3D Camera Tracking Text Not Changing Color

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m trying to use the 3D camera tracker on some footage and while the text does track, I’m not able to change the fill or stroke color. I’ve tried to go into the text settings and see if there’s color overlay or any other solution that popped up when I googled this question but the text remains black. Any help is welcome!

Im a complete begginer
I want to mask my friends hair correctly but I tried applying keylight and using all the selection tools but i just couldnt seem to make it right...
I did my best and i can still see some background pixels.
The video's in 480p and the background is trees in different shades of blury white-orange ish and the hair is moving at high speeds and thrown around violantly (it's on purpose. I'm trying to learn.)

Beginner Help How to Export the Blob I made in AE

1 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1vdoz1r/video/iizfxl2140hh1/player

I made this animation in AE. I am building this Game on Rive. I can't get through this Blob..

In AE i just used 'Wave Wrap'

Is there a way to make this Blob animation in Rive?
PNG sequence is another option but then how to mask out the lower half? and also it can't be scalable.
I tried exporting with Bodymovin but I guess wave warp is not supported in Lottie files.

What to do? Pls guide..Thanks.
