Need Help Cutting Head Off

[Benjamin Tattersley]

I Think you mean that you are masking out your head and animating its position to simulate it being removed am i correct :)? If i am then i might suggest taking a “clean plate” in other words getting the background of your shot, so you can place that there to cover the black hole. If you don’t have it, just mock it up in photoshop. If there is motion in your shot, motion track it! I forgot to once and had to re-render my entire project *sigh* and enable motion blur for your hole plugging layer to get it looking better if there is a lot of movement in your shot.
