Mask moving fingers so they appear in front of horizontal panel
See attached.
I have imported a clip which has a horizontal rectangle panel at the bottom of the screen.
When the person above the rectangle moves his hand and fingers down to the bottom of the screen, the fingers become obscured by the panel above it.
Is there a clearcut, simple masking technqiue to make the fingers show ABOVE the rectangle, creating the illusion that he is moving only that body part over the rectangle.
I am new to masking and its not clear to me whether its possible to track the movement of the fingers at the point it intersects and vanishes behind the panel.
Appreciate any guidance.
Thanks
