    Advanced Tracking? Remove car driving through scene.

    Posted by Victor Mayorga on October 9, 2016 at 8:41 pm

    I shot this video clip from my drone:
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7dTlzZRlD1tVl9XRHpEQXlzSlU/view?usp=sharing

    Its a motorcycle driving through a scenic bypass, and all throughout the shot I had the motorcycle by itself. The very last few moments before they drove off of the frame, a car drives through on the opposite side.

    I used the rotobrush and removed the car, leaving a black background in its place.
    I tracked the scene (only the last few moments) using the AE Camera Tracking – Detail Analysis.
    Created a null object that followed the same motion as the camera and parented a PSD file of a CLEAN road.
    This method somewhat works? But its a little bit off, and you can see a miss match in the road texture and the bushes get moved around. So its noticable that I tried removing the car.

    Is there any other way of removing this car from this clip?
    I know its possible, but just cant seem to get it to work… Any tutorials online?

    Thanks for that information! This does look like something that could do this for me.
    Unfortunately I do not have access to Mocha Pro, so still looking for other options available to me.
    But this does make me want to get mocha pro!
