Keying everything moving in a lock shot
Hi,
I’m starting working on a project where most footages are coming from surveillance cameras.
Most of the shots are locked, with people or car moving inside the frame.
I’d like to key everything that is moving. So then, I can add a effect on the moving object (like in the attached picture).
Wen the object stop moving, then it becomes normal.
I can use After Effects, but if it would be possible to do that in Premiere, it would be even better.
Any other app could be fine as well.
Best,Matthieu.

You can roto the silhouette, of course, but that’s a pain…
But if you have a frame without the person in it to use as a clean plate, you could grab that frame, then use the Difference Matte effect to cut out the moving object and reveal a layer underneath with your red effect applied.

Ken and Dave,
Thanks for your fast answer. I’ll try that.
It doesn’t have to be very precise. It can look “dirty”, so I guess using the clean plate and the difference matte should work. Hopefully, I might have clean plates on most of shots.
We’re working on real surveillance camera footages and I’m editor of the film.
I just want to be able to make the effect approximately to see how it looks, during the editing.
It should be possible to do the same in Premiere I guess, right?Matthieu.

There is a difference matte effect in Premiere. I haven’t used it in Premiere, but I assume it works more or less the same as the one in AE.

Ok! I’ll forget the idea of Premiere and will do in AE.

I would use Twixtor Pro to generate motion vectors from the shot, then create a matte from that.
