    parenting is used for one layer to control another, you wont use that for this.

    To make a matte -

    duplicate the movie and apply whatever effects so that your white background is still white, but the object in the movie is jet black.

    Once you have that, place it dircetly above the original movie on the timeline.

    Then on the original movie, in the second column of the timeline select from the 'TrkMat' option whichever one of the four options that works, as when you select one of them your white will disappear.

    Does that make any sense?

    ps- if the second column on the timeline is showing the motion blur/ 3d layer option ect, then go to the bottom and click where it says Switches / Modes.
