How to get a “rock solid” track on a shaky shot??? (PART TWO)
Hey All –
In a previous post, I was asking for help in getting my clean plates to stop drifting around, but there are deeper levels to my troubles.
The object being removed is over a rug, and getting the pattern of the rug to line up has been the hardest aspect of dealing with this shot. I’m set to “use clean plates exclusively” and step is set to 1.
I have clean plates every few seconds. The look fine on the frame they’re on, but in between, they will sort of cross fade with the next plate, so I’m getting places where there’s a sort of double exposure effect.
I’m attaching two screengrabs – one showing the rug looking normal, and the second show two clean plates not properly aligned.
Advanced thanks to anyone who can help!!

Hi again Josh!
For this kind of very specific texture, I probably wouldnt use a content aware fill type deal.
I would track the area, make a PSR null and attach a still frame (a frame painted in PS), the mask in where needed. Then use a levels effect if there are any lighting changes.
This will work for a camera that isnt moving too much though (as in large movements), if it is, then multiple tracks and frames will be needed I think.

It might be easier to mask out the rug altogether and replace it with either a clean plate or a 3D generated alternative. If it’s not the main focus and you blended it in to a good match, it could be so subtle that no one guesses that it’s not the real deal
