Need Clone Stamp HELP!!!
Hi all,
I am filming a promotional video for an art museum. I am almost complete but I have run into a BIG, BIG problem and need the COW experts help. Before I go further, I will tell you that I have read the manual and had to come here.
I have a shot where I positioned the camera on a dolly and had the dolly rotate around a Tiffany sculpture. The sculpture was enclosed in glass. The shot is perfect and beautiful except I forgot to turn the Tally light off on the camera. Therefore, you can see the reflection in the rough video. So, I went into AE 6.5 Pro and double-clicked on the layer to create a new paint layer so I could PAINSTAKINGLY clone out every place where the light appears and is reflected. After spending two hours making this perfect. I was ready to render… Herein lies the problem.
When I render, I still see the lighjt and reflections. I have tried rendering as an .AVI, .MOV and .TGA. It’s the same result everytime. In the paint layer everything looks great but the rendering is the same. I have tried pre-comping the paint layer too. What am I missing? I need to complete this in a couple of days and don’t want to eliminate this shot. Thanks in advance.

PS – I am using the “Custom” mode at 1F. I basically have to rotoscope this effect as it goes across a statue, people and reflections inside the glass container. I hope this helps or provides additional information.

You may be rendering just the layer and not the comp. To be sure, name the comp something different from the layer, select it in the Project window and choose Composition>Add to Render Queue. Make sure you paint effect is turned on and that your Render settings are set to Best Settings and that these Best Settings don’t have effects turned off for some reason.
Good Luck
