Take note of how the elements (particularly the lines) warp around the characters as they travel around them. You can’t do that with straight-up layers, since they can’t bend in 3D space.

Got it, just make the precomp much larger.

Never mind, I just took a snapshot of the alpha and used it as a track matte.

OK, checked that on and now it’s working. Thank you!

Thanks for the ideas, you guys really helped me out!

AE won’t accept them either. It says they’re corrupt.

Thanks so much, that really helped!
Have a great day 🙂 -
Thanks. I also have trouble with relinking though. I’m supposed to AMA link to the original footage again, transcode it in hi-res, and then how do I replace the clips that are already edited on the timeline with the new hi-res ones?
As far as I know it, the relinking dialogue only relinks clips that are offline… -
That’s a good idea, Walter, I didn’t know that. I’ll give it a try.
Dave, the background image needs to be large in order to allow me to do extreme zoom outs/ins within it. It’s not necessary for it to be exactly in these specific measurements, but I just naturally kept the same aspect ratio. -
Thanks for your reply! That’s actually an interesting idea. Though when you look closely at the first seconds inside the shop (0:24-0:27), you can see a problem with that strategy. Note the hallway to the left of the mirror in the main set. It goes into the depth of the main set, thereby erecting a wall in the theoretical adjacent reverse set. When the camera first enters the shop, its angle shows that the reverse set is much wider than physically possible. I think the possibility of a reverse set becomes viable only around 0:30, when the camera faces the mirror directly and not diagonally.
You can see a clearer illustration of the spatial limitations of a reverse set at timecode 0:57.
