john mccain greenscreen challenge help
Hi everyone,
I am interested in trying something out for the colbert report’s mccain green screen challenge.. And it is musical, so I need to have control over mccain’s mouth motion– slowing it down, etc…
So I have a few questions–
1. Is there an easy way to chop up the sections where his head is facing forward, and string them all together on one track?
2. if I copy his head, and use a layer mask with his mouth revealed only and place that ontop of the main video of his head– Is there a way I can stretch the length of certain areas of the video so that the mouth movement can match the audio of what I am syncing him to?
Thanks!

Well– I am getting really close with everything… The last problem I have is matching the color of John Mccain’s neck with the opera singer’s torso… As you can see by this screenshot here:

Does anyone have any suggestions as far as what the best way to blend the two together is? Is there a way to set a null or something to do a gradient from the color of the opera singer’s body to transparent? That way I could have it get less and less as it gets closer to mccain’s head… Except mccain’s head is on another layer, so that probably won’t work, will it… ?
Hmmmmm.. Well anyway, hopefully someone has a suggestion.
Another question I have, is regarding removing the opera singer’s head.. I am right now doing a black solid and doing a strong feather on a mask around it, but I was noticing that it’s very hard to control the points of a mask. Is there a way to add additional points to the shape of a mask? Like when it’s a square, can I have add a 5th point and be able to stretch it ?
Thanks everyone!

Regarding the mask. You can add as many points as you want and set keyframes for mask shape. Move at will.

How do you add a point to a mask? I was not able to figure this out….
But I did finish my video if anyone is interested in seeing it:
