Clone tool / motion tracking
Hello
I have a tracking shot which pans across a wood panel background. I’m trying to use the clone tool to correct a defect on the wood panel, but as the shot pans the cloned area stays staionary and the defect in revealed. Is it possible to generate keyframes with the motion tracker and apply them to the clone tool so the defect is covered throughout the camera move?
many thanks

I’d like to hear what people have to say about this as well.
For the time being, you could duplicate the layer and draw a mask around a clean part of the panel. Track the original and apply to a null. Position the duplicate with the mask over the part you want to cover on the original and parent to the null.

Thanks Tony I did what you suggested,
I have a question though, the clean wooden background (from the duplicated layer within the mask) changes as the shot pans and is really noticeable. How do I keep the same piece of wood within the mask.
Many thanks again

This adobe tut is not on a pan shot, but it does show how to use the clone with tracker points, so it should work for you.
From one, make two (or none)

You could make the footage a still frame (might have a difference in noise).
If your spot is visible the whole time you could take the tacking info and stabilize the masked layer. This should just remove the pan from the shot. Keep in mind that the tracking point should be in the area you used in the mask.
The Tut looks promising but it only played for ten seconds.

I went down the still image route in the end. It works pretty well so thanks again.
Mike, thanks for the tutorial.
