    hey, I’m working on a close up shot of an eyeball. I want to remove the iris and pupil and fill them in with the white of the eye. Any tips/tutorials out there? Normally, I’d use the clone tool, but it seems really complex to follow the movement of the eye, and the shot is over 100 frames. Any advice would be highly appreciated.

    Because you didn’t describe how close up your shot was.I can only give some cursory advices.
    1:add more paint effects four your shot.It’s very hard to remove objects with only one paint effect.
    2:add key frames for the paint shape at the frames where the movements of the objects change greatly.
    3:add more and more key frames and adjust until you are satisfacted.However,Your shot have only more than 100 frames.Sometimes the most boring way is the simplest way as well.:)
    4:Maybe you should try to find out some other ways to desolve your problem.How about appealing to some 3D soft?Maybe you can make an eyeball by some certain 3D soft and fuse it with your shot.

    Wish to be helpful.

    Thanks,
    I think I found my solution, though…
    After rotoscoping the unwanted iris, I’ve softened the mask and created a “clean plate” of the eyeball white, and motion tracked to the movement of the eye.
    No 3d was needed- displacement mapping and warping took care of adding our logo to the eyeball.

    Thanks for the input,
    -Matt
