Question about Clone Stamp tool

[Anders Hattne]

I’m not an expert with the clone tool but I wonder if that realy is the best way to resolve this situation.
I’ve used it only to remove specks, and you have to keep in mind that the spot you sample from updates with the video.. unless that can be changed.

Anyway, I would track the footgage if needed, paint out van in photoshop, place that over in AfterFX and roto the person walking in front of the van.

Have you tried using the Rotobrush tool to isolate the person and place them on a separate layer on top of the “clean plate” you’re creating with the Clone tool?

Hope this helps!

I used the stamp clone cause I thought that would be the best tool but I’ll try the rotobrush and place the person on the top layer. Do you know of any video tutorials that teach how to do this? thanks.

I learned how to you use the rotobrush and I was able to outline the van which isn’t moving instead of roto brushing the person. I figure it would be easier to hide the van than the person who’s hair is moving around in the wind. However I’m not sure how to proceed at this point. WHat I tried to do was to use the clone stamp tool to hide the van then save it under frame as photoshop layer and brought it to in AE and place it on top of the other layer. Is this the way to do it?

thanks Dave. I always try to get it right in camera and rarely do I fix anything in post but unfortunately for me it was one of those shots that I didn’t pay attention to the background. If it wasn’t such an important shot I would just leave it out but I can’t so maybe I will try and blur it a little using the rotobrush but i’m not sure how that can be done. I’ll see if I can figure it out. thanks again.
