How would you do this composite?
Hello!
I’m trying to achieve a composite in After Effects and having trouble. Would love some suggestions on how you would do this!
Here is a reference video: [S63 Reference\_1.mp4](https://vimeo.com/741585892/a320bdab62)
(this is not my attempted composite, rather just a temp in the edit)
Basically what is happening on this pan is I need to stitch together two different pieces of footage, which are both panning across the same area. Right now you can see the stitch happen in a crappy cross-disolve over the tree, but it needs to be seamless.
Issue is this was not shot with motion control, so the pan speeds and positions are not exact. So if you simply mask on the tree, then track the mask, the left and right sides of the image dont match up, as the camera is moving at different rates. I tried slowing down and speeding up the footage to match, but it wasn’t really working either.
Next thing I was going to try was to basically create a panorama freeze frame of the outgoing pan. Meaning go into Photoshop and composite a still that is maybe three times the width of the video frame, using stills from different frames in the source footage. Then I was going to track still onto the the incoming shots position movement, and add motion blur and grain etc, so it feels like video. Then I was hoping the left most side of the still image I composite would be a match for a frame in the outgoing video, at which point I could sync up the shots. If that makes sense…
But what would you try?
Oh and the sequence resolution is 2;40 but the source footage is 1;85, so I can move things around a bit vertically.
Thank you!

You can do this with masking.
You will need to keyframe the following clip to match.
There is some color work needed as well.
