I took the snapshot but I can’t upload the picture. I am clicking the camera icon to upload the pic on to the forum but no pop up window came. Is there an email address I can send it to?

Thanks

I did everything you said and it worked. But now my footage is off the composition. It moves down into the comp as I play the shot forward. I think the only solution is to rotoscope the mask. What do you think?

The problem is the mask not tracking with the footage. I have already tracked the footage with three null objects and parented the null objects accordingly.I just do not know how to track the mask transparency hole.

I also have another quick question. I have done some shots where I tracked footage with null objections. I already know how to parent the null objects. However when I parent a picture to the null object, the picture stays at a fixed position, which is great. However the picture shakes a little bit. I checked my null object key frames on the screen, and they looked straight and linear. Is there method to stabilize the picture so it would not shake?

Thanks so much for the help!

Thanks so much for the response

What I am trying to do is to delete part of my footage. As the camera moves up you see many trees. So what I did was that I selected my video and near the end of the shot my camera moves up to see a woodland of trees.I selected my pen tool and traced the tree area. I went to my masking properties and selected subtract. Now all the trees are deleted and there is a large transparency hole in the footage. I placed a nice picture in the transparency area to make a nice set extension. The problem is that my camera moves. As a result the picture does not stay fixed. So I am trying to learn how to track deleted footage. Because when you select a video and delete a section of the video, the transparency hole does not stay fixed at that position (or that frame).

I tried to look for tutorials about this matter. But so far no luck.
