transition between 2 objects question
I am not sure if this is the best forum for my question but I will give it a go here. I have a project concept that I want to flush out and I have a few questions. First, let me describe the concept and that will help to frame up what I am looking to do. Basically, we have to shoot a small sequence of the same pair of legs walking, from below the knee – this is getting accomplished by using a treadmill greened out. We are trying to get the shoes on the foot to change every couple of steps. The hard cuts between each shoe are not that great, we are still testing and using markers, etc. Here is my after effects question, what would be a cool, subtle transition between each shoe? Any suggestions? or ideas?
Thanks in advance. Also, if this post is better suited for different forum please let me know.

I have seen lots of commercials that use obstructions to shift transitions. Like walls, handbags, people walking by. Its actually more believable and less dorky than a magical sparkle change or fade.
You will need to match speed or timewarp for perfection. Frame match a walk with marker overlays on a realtime monitor for comparison and use distance markers to timecode to get precise speed match. speed=distance/time remember? This will then look fantastic and be continuous.
Either that or roto the whole thing, lol. lightsabers anyone?Oh yea, most important, get good head and tail footage. Most running shots look fake because the film was shot the same second the actor starting moving. You want “pre-walk.”
