  • Still Needing Clone Stamp Render Help

    Posted by Seth Hancock on October 24, 2005 at 3:05 pm

    Hi all,

    I am filming a promotional video for an art museum. I am almost complete but I have run into a BIG, BIG problem and need the COW experts help. Before I go further, I will tell you that I have read the manual and had to come here.

    I have a shot where I positioned the camera on a dolly and had the dolly rotate around a Tiffany sculpture. The sculpture was enclosed in glass. The shot is perfect and beautiful except I forgot to turn the Tally light off on the camera. Therefore, you can see the reflection in the rough video. So, I went into AE 6.5 Pro and double-clicked on the layer to create a new paint layer so I could PAINSTAKINGLY clone out every place where the light appears and is reflected. After spending two hours making this perfect. I was ready to render… Herein lies the problem.

    When I render, I still see the lighjt and reflections. I have tried rendering as an .AVI, .MOV and .TGA. It’s the same result everytime. In the paint layer and in a RAM preview the Clone Stamp effect looks great but the rendering is the problem. I have tried pre-comping the paint layer too. What am I missing? I need to complete this in a couple of days and don’t want to eliminate this shot. Thanks in advance.

    PS – I am using the “Custom” mode at 1F. I basically have to paint each frame with this effect as the light and reflected light goes across a statue, people and reflections inside the glass container. I hope this helps or provides additional information.
