Hi Curry

composing CGI into real life footage should be possible. see for instance https://www.adobepress.com/articles/article.asp?p=1273350 I know the settings of my camera and can adjust all the settings in After effects as such: film size, focal length, angle of view, distance to real life object, etc. AND after Effects does have the option to use mm, so an exact distance. That way it is possible to calculate the setup and get real perspective of the moving CGI. anyway, my footage can’t be tracked because it doesn’t move. Just some people in the scene move. I’d like to work with actual figures, and it seems to work most of the time, only sometimes I can’t see the objects in top view, even if I zoom to 1,5% zoomlevel in topview. And as I stated, the figures of distance are limited to 11288 mm, which is 32000 px. any distance beyond that it jumps back to 11288. Than I can’t match real life footage.

I use CS6. once it has been changed to mm you can go back in this layers settings and it will still be mm, but what you see in the comp in the position keyframes they still are in px, so you still have to go into the actual keyframe setting bij rightclicking and Edit value…; it would be nice to be able to change the distance / position in the timeline.

Oke, I considered changing the units type as basic, but I will post this question there also.
thanks -
I click on mouse right button on the figures for Z depth for instance. then I get “edit value…” and than I can choose between Units: Pixels, Inches, MM, %. Once I’ve choosen milimeter that works, but next time it’s back to px again.

Hi Herbie
It would be nice for the followers to know what went wrong and how you solved it.

Hi
well, I’ve tried to repeat the problem, but after a restart I can’t anymore. So I guess deleting the double files in the track and move on is the only thing left. I still can’t believe it was me copying files though. I had 10 audio files of which I cut 5 with “split events at cursor” and when I moved those files they had duplicates underneath and definitely the uncut files didn’t. I guess the restart of the PC has moved the bits and bites in place again.
awell, time to move on and thank you for your reply John.HC

Oke
I’ve tried your file and it seems to work, although the shadow is seen through the image in the first few frames but I think it can work. The whole workflow of getting this image with a drop shadow and a magnifying glass is quite a bit of work.
I was hooping for a one button solution, just switch on shadows and have that keyframed because I have to do this for tens of images, but this is a workaround if there isn’t such a solution. But I certainly want to express my appreciation for your input Vishesh. thanks!
