Thanks for your suggestions. I do this sometimes too with a zoom style, its style is accepted in some cases. I usually cut to full screen when the presenter is in front which mostly works but when it’s too often then there it simply no other solution to fall back to magic 🙂

Thanks for your comments!

I avoid obsolete effects because this means that in a future version the effect is gone and I will get an error when opening an older project. Hence I couldn’t do changes and reexport it because of the missing effect.

Your answer is still very helpful, I am going this path for now but will have to find a better solution in the future.

For context: I film people presenting a power point presentation. Because it’s difficult to read whats written on the projector, I export the power point to JPEG images and then overlay them in my videos. So the viewer can much better read whats written and it looks nice. However, ever so often the presenter puts his hands in front or walks in front of the screen and in order to avoid rotoscoping I use this difference effect. It is working and looks good, but my current setup of double-nesting and several effects is quite a brain knot. I am looking for a simpler solution.

This is perfect. Too bad this effect is listed under “obsolete” in Premiere. I am wondering what they want me to replace this with in future versions.

[Bernhard Walzl]

There is surely some smarter way than rotoscoping and AE.

Currently I am playing with difference matte, nesting and then keying etc. It does work but its just a bit tricky because I have to nest, I was wondering if there is some smarter way to do this.

Precomposing did the trick!

Thanks for all your help! This is exactly what I was looking for!

Hi!

Yea i think that’s the effect I am after! But I tried to apply it but I don’t get the result needed.

So I have two layers. Bottom layer: The original video where I freeze frame a clean image without the presenter, leaving just the plain background.

The top layer with the difference matte effect. I choose the bottom layer as masking layer. But thats doesn’t show me anything useful.

What am I doing wrong?

[Bernhard Walzl]

So I did. The youtube video was the solution 😉

Oh i did post this already!! I can’t find a delete option for this double post. Can an admin delete this please? Thanks.

Well, thats the issue. It is shot to be screened mostly on Youtube. However there will be two or three screenings on TV and cinema.

What a dilemma 🙂

Well, the only thing I could think of is that the cinemas uses 24 frames per second or the European standard of 25 frames. But it doesn’t make sense because it shouldn’t be choppy at all even when viewed at 24frames…
