Replacing part of the floor in a shot
Hey long time lurker, first time poster here.
I’m currently working on a shot that’s intending to be changed for day to night however there’s a huge ray of light on the floor from the sun which I need to remove before attempting the day for night.
I’ve attempted several things in both Nuke and After Effects however as the shot is handheld (not a huge amount of movement but enough to change the perspective) it’s proved to be a bigger challenge than I originally believed.I’ve come to the conclusion the best + easiest way is to use a warp stabiliser to reduce the majority of the jitter and then to use the same settings on the warp stabiliser to apply to a clean plate that I’ve created in Photoshop. I recognise this wouldn’t be perfect but it should be sufficient.
However the problem I have is that I can’t find out how to get the warp stabilisers information to apply to the clean plate. Is there any way to do that?Alternatively does anyone have an alternative solution to fix this?

When you ask these kind of questions they are impossible to answer correctly without an image or video for reference

I think you would want to track the shot, paint a clean frame, then project it onto a plane in 3D for the floor.
Projection will help compensate for the changing perspective.

Sorry I’ll upload a reference image tomorrow when back at my computer.
I did start working on a projection in Nuke but didn’t think it would work with the perspective. I’ll give it a go tomorrow and get back to you thanks 🙂 -

It’s impossible to retrieve any data from the Warp Stabilizer to achieve a inverse stabilization effect.
However, if you are able to solve the camera move with AE’s 3D Camera Tracker, you may want to look into Ben Rollason’s https://aescripts.com/projection/ script to provide a quick and easy camera projection routine.
That’s one option. Another option is to use mocha’s 2.5D or camera solve (available with V3.+) to obtain the camera solve prior to a camera projection routine.
