Haven’t tried it yet, but thank you for making a tutorial that doesn’t assume users are inexperienced idiots.
I mean, you could have made it a 20 minute tutorial, but then I wouldn’t have watched the whole thing…
Well done!Jeff Brown

You might try Twixtor from re:Vision Effects. I believe you can get a demo/trial version.
I have no experience with Pixel Motion, as I have been using Twixtor for several years. -
The direct way:
Buy an assortment of theatrical gels in the blue/cyan range.
Hold in front of projector. Pick best look. Add sticky tape or clips to hold in place.Commercial gel media is clean enough to have a minimal effect distortion-wise.

“Keep the Input Levels at 0-255 but change the Output Levels to 15-235.”
I think this will make the problem worse?
If you are targeting web playback, can you (rename) use the file as an MP4 instead of MOV? and use HTML5 playback … AFAIK, there is no fix at then encoding level, because this is a bug in QuickTime (on Windows, a bug that has not been fixed in maybe 5-6 years or more?). As you have seen, your clips look fine in VLC player. I bet they also look fine in Safari on Apple products? Unless this is somehow unrelated to the h264/QTime issue we Win users live with.wish I could be of more help,

Ben– FYI, the AVID codecs are specified in bits (not bytes) per second.

One thing you could clear up, Evan (can’t tell from your wording):
You are tracking the actor footage, which has the moving camera? Or you are tracking the virtual set footage?2 big things to prevent slipping:
Make sure the track solves for the proper field of view (lens), then duplicate that in the 3D set. I’ve only used SynthEyes for 3D tracking, not sure if AE gives you this info.
Also, make sure the scale of everything is correct; you actually need to use “real” units.

If you have lines on a solid background, appropriate keying followed by a negative matte choke might help.
Or it might just be ugly…-Jeff

If you can post a still here, that would help. From your description, my guess is you are over-correcting spill, and that is producing artifacts (do they look grey or pink?) in your subject.
The warm + cool mix of light sources is probably not helping either.-Jeff

You did not mention if your footage is on a (SATA2) RAID. That could help…

Hi Sanjiv,
I have asked a similar question before, and I think it is not possible :<(I use motherboard audio for system audio; and a small line mixer.
