sparkle effect match move
I want to put a sparkle effect on a ring using match move. When I do this it uses the entire frame of the photo,clip. It looks great just using as screen over the top of the main clip but when I put it below the main clip and use match move to track it I can’t seem to use only the glimmer effect. How do I crop/clip the unwanted footage surronding the star/glimmer. Any tips are welcome.

HI,
Here’s how to do it:
• Apply BCC Blint to the clip
• Set the Pixelchooser to On
• Set the Pixelchooser region to inside rectangle
• Position the rectangle over the ring in the clip
• Set the Glint Threshold parameter value to a high value, perhaps something like 85The Glint should not be appearing only on the highlight of the ring. If the ring is moving in the image, then use the built-in Motion Tracker to lock the Pixelchooser region rectangle onto the ring.
I hope this helps.

i have not seen the blint effect. I only perchased the corner pinning and what came with it. I can get this by itself? I don’t really have the money to put into more software right now.

Aha … well to do that you need the BCC Glitters Unit.

I tried the trial version before I bought corner pinning. Some of the add ons did not work(run time error when I tried to select them) I tried trial version agian and get the error again. I can’t even try it to see if I want to buy it. I still don’t see a blint but glint yes but as I said it won’t work.

It’s BCC Glint that you need, not Blint. 🙂
You should contact our support department if you are having trouble with the product trial installer. You can reach them via email at support@borisfx.com.
Cheers,

Ok heres the update. I purchased the plugin and updated my video card driver and that fixed it from not working.
I followed your instructions but how do I move the rectangle around on the clip? I’ve used the track motion to track the ring but I’m not sure how to move the sparkle. one other thing I can still see a square around the sparkle, I just want the sparkle only appearing or it will look really fake. And can I shink it down more, its still just a little big I think. -
I got it to work, looks pretty good but I will have to do some twicking to get it realistic looking.
thanks
