In this tutorial, we will show you how to make money disappear by hovering a pen over it using Adobe After Effects. Follow along with the downloadable footage provided in the video.
**Step 1: Prepare Your Footage**
Record footage of your euro bill or any type of currency. For easier editing, use a tripod to keep the camera steady. This will help when removing the money from the scene.

**Step 3: Mask the Money**
Mask out the money below the pen as you hover it over the bill. Place the duplicated footage, which has the money removed, towards the end of your clip. This will create the effect of the money disappearing as the pen passes over it.
