Since everything is on a 2D plane, I’d definitely use Mocha for the tracking. You won’t need the shape data; only the corner pin data, as your green screen will cut the shape for you.

Be careful not to put your tracking markers in the shadows of the overlying pictures or you’ll have to paint the shadows back in. Mocha will not need that may tracking markers either; the five markers in the center are more than enough.

You’re correct, and my personal experience is that Colorista’s “Ranged HSL” tool is like having several secondaries in one when it comes to color fine-tuning without the need for a keyer. Looks masking tools seem more intuitive than Colorista’s single secondary masking tool too.

I wonder if Colorista II is now EOL, as it appears Looks2 has acquired most of it’s toolset.

Is the clip’s audio sampled at 48K?

Avid didn’t make 3rd quarter earnings yesterday and also laid off 200 people. As of this post, it’s stock price is down nearly 20%. I hope MC6 can save them.
