That’s right.
Do you have any specific tutorials regarding this matter (how to properly correct a plane drifting to the side during track) to recommend?
I guess I’m doing something wrong – when I notice the plane starts changing shape I manually put it more or less back to the original, but when I continue the track it doesn’t seem to affect the already drifted track. -
Roland,
The worków you described is exactly how I do it, looks like my problem lies in the track itself, like Ross said.
My track wasn’t solid at all, it drifted all the way to the side. I thought that’s ok and that I should correct it in adjust track. I watched almost every tutorial about track adjusting there is, but none of them described the techniques to get a perfect track in the first place.
I guess I know what to look for now, thanks. -
I think I have a similar kind of problem.
Let’s say that my trackpoint in mocha is drifting upwards, and then back where it needs to be – my problem is that when I adjust it in a point of time where the drift occurs the most, then it doesn’t just fix the whole drift between my keyframes, but instead it creates two smaller drifts on both sides. And it keeps going, the more adjustments I make, the more smaller drifts appear – up to the point where they are to small to be noticable.
That seems totally illogical to me, since in AE when you place a keyframe it interpolates the motion between previous and next keyframe, and here it looks like the interpolation “handles” are too short to reach the neighbouring keyframes, which leaves me with a nightmare of having to adjust each trackpoint dozens of times individually. -
I got best results by mixing some techniques.
I averaged the matte, and in some parts where it still looked horrible I rotoscoped it manually by tracking the person’s belt and assigning the data to a solid. Then I only needed to adjust the mask with few keyframes.
I tried roto brush but the clip is too long and I couldn’t force it to calculate a specific area over the entire clip… after 20 seconds it started to lose the data in the beginning of the shot. -
Yes, I’m using CS6.
Oh well, I guess you’re probably right… but wouldn’t roto brush ignore the little details like hair and stuff?
I’m going to give it a try anyway (thanks for the idea!), but if any of you guys comes up with another idea please share it with me 🙂 -
Done 🙂 now let’s keep fingers crossed!

Ok, so one important function I’d love to have in premiere (maybe I just don’t know where to look for it?) is trimming the selected edit point by x frames (Daniel mentioned it in the first post). Not being able to select the cuts directly is somewhat annoying after few years with FCP. I still like Premiere very much, tough.

For me the ‘duplicate’ shortcut was alt+D, maybe because I set FCP7 keyboard in preferences. But other than that, this method is exactly what I was looking for – thanks a lot! 🙂

When making a template project I have to prepare like 10 lower thirds (assuming there isn’t gonna be more than 10 different persons) etc. – is that what you mean? That way I would have to do it just once, as you say… Of course it’s a good idea, and I’m going to stick with it from now on.
But still, while preparing the template project I have to apply every transition to the titles manually, right?In FCP my workflow was just to copy the text (with transitions) on to another lower third, and just change the name (or whatever). In premiere when I copy a title, it’s still connected to the original, so when I change it, the first one chages as well. With this workflow I was hoping that if I couldn’t just copy the titles (with transitions), I would at least be able to save them as templates. Is there any solution to that?
Thanks for the tip with template project 🙂

Yep, same problem here…
