  • Reversing a Stabilized Shot

    Posted by Richard Kratt on July 10, 2008 at 7:00 pm

    I have a shot I have stabilized using AE CS3 to do some painting and now I need to reverse the stabilization. I used to do this in Commotion all the time but, somehow, I am trying to do this in AE for the first time, without success. What is the best way to do this?

    Thanks,

    Rich

    OK, I went into the stabilized tracker data (from “Motion Tracker 1”) and pasted that data as position keyframes into a new null and parented the layer. It works (at least in this case), it’s simple, I’m happy. But out of curiosity, is there a “right way” to do this?

    Thanks for the reply Dave. Yeah, what did we do before null layers (and ram previews and …)???

    Thanks,

    Rich

    i read this as wanting to reverse the tracking so that the ‘painting’ applied will fit back into the un-tracked footage.

    If I’m right then this is discussed in AK’s demon face warp tutorial over at video copilot and also there is a few chapters on exactly this in Pete O’Connell’s roto training DVD available at this very site (roto-ing the monument)
