$\begingroup$ Try lower opacity, I guess 1 is pure white, so Alpha over node is kind of replacing image rather than overlaying (due to you haven't got transparency on image with "magic force" ) Or try ADD mixRGB node instead of Alpha over - it would be a bit brighter, but black values will not appear on the hand. $\endgroup$– Serge LCommented Nov 26, 2017 at 9:36

$\begingroup$ There is a energy ball in my hand and i want my fingers to mask it. But only two this happen. 1 )the one mentioned in pic and 2) oe else only the tge energy ball and the mask is getting rendered(only the part of image covered by mask and the animation) $\endgroup$– The indian guyCommented Nov 26, 2017 at 9:49

$\begingroup$ In blender you can make a screen shot by pressing Ctrl+F3 and saving the image. $\endgroup$– user1853Commented Nov 26, 2017 at 17:03

The Over operation of a cg object using a mask
Make sure the cg render has a transparent background.
[Sorry the labeling is switched, right is Internal and left is cycles.]
The render preview will show a checkered background, indicating transparency.
The mask (created in the image editor) can also by viewed, by connecting its output to a viewer node in the compositor.
For the easiest over operation, our mask is the "wrong way around". This means, we'll have to invert it. Add a [Color >] Invert node after the mask.
Method to be used with any number of masks.
If you want to use multiple mask nodes, you are not going to be able to use the above node setup.
For that, unpremultiply image, alter the alpha (subtraction, max, cojoint-over, etc), premultiply it. This method is far more superior but also much more complex. Read up on premultiplication!
