Select your tracked layer and select the stabilize module. Track the logo using translation, scale, rotation, scale, and perspective.Īdjust track if necessary, it is vital to get a completely locked down track for this workflow. Make sure you trim the layer to the comp as well, it’s an option underneath “move all attributes.” The workflow that will work best for you is a corner pin stabilized workflow for paint.įirst, because you are using a comp probably sent to AE from Premiere, take your footage layer and Precompose it and move all attributes into the new composition. Please keep in mind that rotopaint is a skillset that takes time to develop and your mileage may wildly vary. Therefore I recommend roto paint inside of AE using Mocha stabilized data to make it a bit easier. As to using remove on that shot, unfortunately, remove is not going to work. Glad we could turn off the GPU and fix the rendering issue. This allowed me to match the frames with the correct timing, position, and effects rendering, and repair the smeared areas of the image. Likewise, in the original stabilized clip, I precomposed it as well and masked the smeared frames to subtract them from the original. Then, I precomposed each re-stabilized clip (trimmed to the corresponding span in the timeline) so that I could then mask (as an Add) the area of the smear replacement. I would do this for each of the smeared points in the clip and adjust each Mocha Pro rendering for the span needed to cover each smeared area (usually there were two or three instances).

Then, with each occurrence of smearing, I would go to the worst smeared frame in the run and re-stabilize that duplicate clip in Mocha Pro to that particular reference frame.

So, what I did to resolve this was to take the initial stabilized rendering in After Effects and duplicate it the number of times to match the smeared instances in the clip. In doing so, any frame where a portion of the face appears that was not in the reference frame, the image would be smeared. Regarding my workaround: Since there was no part of the clip that showed the entire face, I chose the a frame closest to what may cover all the frames as my starting frame for stabilization. I’m not completely sure what you are looking for, but enclosed are a couple of screen shots for you to look at.
