Trying to mimic a projected slideshow…
Hi All, I am editing a church pageant video – the show had an actual slideshow video in one scene – but the slideshow images are unusable as in the 5 sec video:

Here is a still:
I am trying to recreate the slideshow in After Effects and am honestly not sure if it is working or not. I motion tracked the shots and used a combo of Luma Track Matte and roto. I also tried to sort of blow out and degrade the slides a little to feel more “real”…here:

Here is a still:
I don’t feel like I’m “selling” it… Any suggestions would be super helpful. Bear in mind AE is not my day job and this is not a feature film! But I do want it to look “right” if possible. Much Thanks!David Oulashian

well tracked, and roto looks decent as well 🙂 obviously there is more involved to get a decent composite. the image has to blend with the surroundings so how about a… blend mode? if it’s a screening then guess which…
if the blend mode looks too harsh you can also try color correcting the footage. you might want to do it either way.
feather the edges – it’s too sharp and perfect. you might want to blur the image as well.
I highly recommend Mark Christiansen’s Compositing series on Lynda. it’s not that long and will give you everything you need to know to make a decent composite in After Effects:
