  • Apple clone stamp offset data across entire shot

    ok, I have a tracking shot and I need to remove some tracks on the floor

    Clone stamp tool is probably the best option BUT, how do I paint-clone just 1 frame but get it to apply across the entire shot?

    i.e. for each frame, the clone-paint offset should be identical.

    This is the shot

    Use your clone stamp and create your clean trackless pic. Precomp the clean plate and use a Layer > Time > Freeze Frame. Then you need to track, apply tracking data to a null, parent the clean track to the null, and then mask…or something along those lines.

    Yes, thanks. That SEEMS to be the correct approach for this shot.

    However, in this case there is SO much scale change via perspective that my clean plate gets enlarged way too much at the beginning of the dolly, appearing pixelated

    On the other board, I mentioned you might want to try the CC Wire Removal effect, I took a still of your video and it seemed to work okay.

    Otherwise, if you can make your video available to be downloaded, I could try some other methods(play around) and see what works and doesn’t.
