    Yes, thanks. That SEEMS to be the correct approach for this shot.

    However, in this case there is SO much scale change via perspective that my clean plate gets enlarged way too much at the beginning of the dolly, appearing pixelated

    Thanks!
    My guess is Mocha is the ‘best’ option for this particular shot. Could not get the built in 3d tracker to solve the floor for some reason.

    For now have resorted to a somewhat kludgy and imperfect solution but it gets me in the ballpark

    I created a luma matte with blurred edges isolating the track

    The used this matte in conjunction with offset copies of the floor layer

    Only problem I’ve found is that I can’t seem to get a 3D camera tracker solve on the floor. Wall on right, no problem. Probably the lack of contrast?

    Guessing I have to use Mocha… can anyone walk me thru creating a proper track using Mocha? Just use the spline tool with default settings and export or?

  • I use Finesse for a lot of my projects. However, the secondary selection tools are all a bit ‘iffy’ in my experience. I would not recommend them. Better off with either using the Linear Color Key for a flat colour IMHO. Also consider generating a luma or alpha matte OUTSIDE of AE using a free download of Davinci Resolve which has amazing secondary+masking capabilities. Just my 2 cents!

    Count me in. Especially love the time related effects in Saphire!, and the lens flare is quite decent. But the price puts me off somewhat.

    Thanks
    So I guess some type of image sequence , either tiff, png or perhaps DPX would be my best bet.
