  • Removing unwanted object from background when camera is moving

    Posted by Mandla Bolekaja on December 18, 2012 at 3:34 am

    I’ve run into a problem. I cannot remove an item from my video where the camera is moving. In PPro I duplicate a clip from my timeline. I put it onto another track to work from. I use Dynamic Link to send to AE. In AE I double click to load the clip into a Layer to work on. I click on the Clone Stamp Tool,select an area next to unwanted item, Option click to Clone, move over to item to click to remove. I switch to View:None in the Layer then go to Window>Tracker to get Track Motion. I select Track Motion in the clip itself, then move it over the unwanted item and size it to encompass the item. Click to Analyze. I Choose Motion Trackers>Tracker 1>Track Point 1>Attach Point. COPY. Reset playhead to the beginning of IN Point. I Choose Paint>Clone 1>Transform:Clone 1>Position. Paste.

    For the first few frames the item is removed then as the camera moves the item returns.
    Can anyone tell me what step am I missing? Is there something wrong with my workflow?
    Working on CS6, Mountain Lion, iMac, 4G Ram.
    Thanks
