    Ok so what everyone has been telling me isnt working at all. My situation is I have a van driving down the block with markers on it.(Red tape like this +) There are 2 trackers. I then bring my footage into AE and then I track it with 2 points a scale and position track. I did this to put the Words Toyota Van on it just a practice. This worked ok i had to manually touch up some keyframe but it worked good. I then exported a random frame like everyone said and brought it to photoshop to clean and paint out the markers. I cloed them out. Then i brought the clean plate (frame) into AE and did a Single Point position motion track and applied the data to this clean plate.

    The thing is now when i erase the the footage beacsue the clean plate is underneath its not working its clean for the one frame i cleaned then thats it. Any help. Could it be i need to clean the very first frame so it tracks perfectly in video or is this method only if the trackers are still in the footage.Example a tracker on a bottle sitting on a table and just the camera moves.

    ps- Side note, someone at my school was saying they never work with interlaced footage even tho they have a minidv cam. They said they always deinterlace the footage. When doing so dont you have two layers meaning double work to apply effects to? Or is there a plugin or way to do this. Thanks guys and gals your always great help
