  • Need to add a scene on side of vehicle door

    Posted by Geri Bastian on November 24, 2015 at 8:24 pm

    Hi, Need some advice on how to create an effect. I’m using Motion 5.2.1 and I have a shot of an expedition and I want to add a scene on the door. What is the best way to create this so it follows all the curves of the vehicle? Any advice is greatly appreciated
    Thanks
    Geri

    Do you have a sample of the clip that you can share? This will help us serve you better. 🙂

    Here is the wide shot and close up. I plan on putting the testimonial in the door and then cut to a close up with the same testimonial in the shot.

    Is the shot moving? What is the scene you want to add to the door?

    yes the shot is a slow dolly and the scene I want to add is a keyed waste up shot of man giving a testimonial

    You could simply use Motion’s corner-pin tracker, but I would personally opt for Coremelt’s TrackX and do it in FCP X where I’m assuming you’re doing the rest anyway, no? TrackX is not only much easier to handle, but the results will be much better more often than not.

    Thanks RK, but I’m looking for the video to also follow the indents in the middle of the door as well

    [geri bastian] “to also follow the indents in the middle of the door as well”

    Well, you’re not going to find anything IN or FOR Motion for that. Unless a displacement map is enough, which generally isn’t quite as elegant as say, a mesh-warp of sorts, which is what I’m assuming you’re thinking of.

    yes I was looking for a simple mapping concept. I have not tried the displacement map.

    Well, you’d have to MAKE it first. 😉
