  Removing Tracking Tapes

  Posted by Chubak Bidpaa on May 29, 2015 at 12:12 pm

  Hey. I have a large chunk of plates where the camera is stationary but the shooter has splattered the green screen with black electrical tapes for tracking, which I don’t need:

  How do I take them out?

  … My fears have came alive. This was shot on a 6D… the codec is H264.

  Thanks. I’m going out to buy a better mouse, and drink a double shot of espresso.

  You could TRY with the Roto Brush on the body where it crosses the markers and then let Keylight worry about the hair.

  If you’ve never used the Roto Brush before, don’t just start using it! (It’s not as intuitive as it looks.) Go through some helpful resources first. This one is good: https://blogs.adobe.com/toddkopriva/2010/04/roto-brush-in-after-effects-cs.html
