Corner Pin and Collapse Transformation
Hi, I’m trying to composite a shot with a TV screen with some footage inside of someone reading a newspaper with a video on one of the pages. The idea is to zoom in to the TV and then fullscreen into the video in the newspaper. I’ve got a solid track from Mocha with a corner so I can composite the footage of the person holding the newspaper onto the TV. The trouble is collpase transformation doesn’t work on a corner pinned layer or precomp so I cant zoom in to the full res video. I’ve set them up as 3D layers and a camera to do the move in. The transform data from mocha wont cut it as the TV is at a distorted angle so I need to use the corner pin data. Does anyone know of a way around this? Cheers.

The corner pin trick is a 2D fix to a 3D problem. If you have a camera in AE and want to get from the corner pin to the full screen you will need to do a dissolve. This is a common problem and is usually hidden by blending through the glass of the TV or a window or whatever you a moving into. Maybe up-rez and sharpen the corner-pinned clip so you have more resolution to blend into.

Thanks Guy. I was hoping there might be a workaround other than the standard dissolve… I guess I’ll just have to turn the motion blur up nice and high to hide the transition!
