Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Automatically conforming frames

  • Automatically conforming frames

    Posted by Martin Earle on November 3, 2006 at 11:12 am

    Dear All,
    I have made a time-lapse animation using a Nikon digital camera. Unfortunately, over the course of about 500 frames, the camera has focused very slightly differently. This means that all the images are a slightly different size and the finished movie is a bit jumpy. While part of the frame includes something growing there are other parts of the image that remain static (a table and a book).

    Is there a method of automatically resizing each frame to make the image more consistent? For example could I choose a few pixels of the static parts of the image and have After Effects 6.5 conform each frame to their co-ordinates? I can send anyone a mov. file of the animation in question by email if it would help them understand the problem.

    Thank you!

    Martin
