I know, this thread seems a little unnecessary, but I really want to do something like this, but can't figure out how to do it.

Refer to 0:57 of the video, right as the rider goes across the screen.

I am editing on Premiere Pro CS5.5!

a matte in adobe after effects on the layer being transitioned into. The subtract matte simply moves off the footage in the outline of the rider

Double post, but so I just apply any matte to the second layer, and then how do I subtract it?

there are matte controls down in the layers panel. There should be a drop box, set it to "subtract"

There are control panels with the "subtract" option of masks, but not for just the basic "set matte" effect

Could rotoscoping it potentially work?

just make a mask and set it to subtract and animate the mask frame by frame!

So I got a variety of answers of how to do it, so I just e-mailed Joey Szela, the guy who actually made the edit in the OP about how to do the transition, and this is what he said....

Hey Ben-

Thanks for the e-mail, always a good move to double check on stuff like that.

So the secret is just masking in AE. Essentially, you drop the first clip onto layer 2, then next clip under it on layer 1. Then you create a mask that subtracts from layer 2. Then you need to go frame by frame with keyframing the masks shape around your subject. Its pretty tedious but the final product usually turns out sweet. Let me know/send me your final product!

No I completely read your post, I was just making sure that people knew it was the right way, and didn't try using mattes, as those didn't work. I actually had it figured out because of your post before he emailed me back

Haha no I know you said masks, 1337 said to use mattes (I think he meant masks as you did), so there were two different answers, but yours was the right one.

And the masking videos on youtube really did help so thanks a lot!

Im sure its possible in motion, but i have never really learned how to use it really. You could definitely take the two shots into AE and make it happen, export it , and then bring it back into final cut with the rest of the clips without any problems I think.

Just got to - Composition>Make Movie.
Then when it comes up make sure the output is to lossless, and click on the audio checkbox that you get from the "lossless" yellow link if you have sound you want. That should export it in the exact same codec you put it in with. I go from AE to FCP all the time that way.
