    Try to track up to the point where the pole gets in the way and then stop tracking and move the CTI to after the pole stop obscuring your track points. Then put the track point into place again and finish tracking.

    This will leave blank tracking data in this range, but it will interpolate and you can fix the bounce by hand.

    Well, however you deinterlace your footage, you need to render it out into a movie file then reimport to do the frame rate conversion.
    You should do this for each shot for best results.

    Then in the Frame Rate Tutorial, you need to create a NTSC comp and follow the tutorial for your needs.

    Sorry I didn’t mean green screening, I mean use a clean plate of the green wall.

    Track the background. Make a green layer to overlay on the address, use a bit of feathering on the green so it blends well. Then use a subtract mask and roto the foreground charachter. With the right feathering it should look good.

    If you can get away with it you could always just take the “1” off the address. But I’m not sure your reasoning for doing so…

    Actually deleting the Camera doesn’t default to the front view, it’s still a camera view. Notice the ability to push things off into the distance. The real front view is orthographic and there is no perspective; think blueprint.

    I’ve heard ideas before about making the camera really far away and zooming in but I have never tried it to achieve this effect.

    I just spent 5 hours yesterday doing this. I used a 40 gallon tank and ruined 2 pairs of pants. But it was worth it. Is a new product on the horizon?

    India Ink works awesome and food coloring proved to be amazing!

    I see this question a lot. There is no definitive answer. Some would say $250 per shot or $25 an hour some say that’s too low or too high…etc.

    Put yourself in the clients shoes. Should they pay you $20 and hour as you fumble around in AE? Not saying that you would, but if you are proficient enough, how about estimating a total cost: 4 hours of work at $50 an hour = 200 per shot. This way you can make a lot of money or some learning money and the client wont mind when you drop by creativecow.net to figure something out. (in fact if you do it late at night no one will know…)

    Most people like to know exact costs to get a project done. Give them a fair rate and be honest with yourself about your skill level.

    And as Ron Lindeboom might say, ‘there will always be someone cheaper’ than you, but as long as you do quality work “they will come”.

    use the invert plug in and change it to invert alpha after the key it applied.

    Change your transfer mode to screen or add on a black solid. or use an adjustment layer.
    Then ask yourself why.
