I get what you’re saying, but creating a still like that is just screaming to be created with FORM.
I’d say make a couple different emitters on different layers if you want to go that route, and just layer them.

Thanks Adam!

(Dave is right — and the render times would be absolutely TERRIBLE)
Blender is free. http://www.blender.org
There are plenty of tutorials there also. -
Darby,
Gotcha. It’ll be synched together, so the match-move method may be more work than its worth. A stamp or a wire removal may be the best option. However, it would work! It just may not be as time friendly as your approach.

But the content behind the dust will be changing frame by frame b/c the video isn’t a locked off shot.
There are more than one way to skin a cat, and thats just the way I’d skin it with the toolkit that I have.

You could pull a still, get rid of the dust in photoshop, and then matchmove the cleanplate top over the footage. I’m sure mocha for AE could pull it in seconds. Or just stabilize the shot, then pull a still, and overlay it above the video with no movement. You might have to roto the police headlights, but it looks very accomplishable.
Does that make sense?
Use this concept:

Looks like 24 and 20fps batches will be firing out tonight.
I’ll have feedback for you guys soon.
I really appreciate all your comments and suggestions. Fyi, its locked into 60hz, and we were trying to use an nVidia utility to optimize the video card, but I guess that doesn’t matter now. (the utility is pretty damn sweet too…) At 60Hz we can only use a specific frame rate — nothing like the good old guess and check method.
Thanks all!

Thanks for the feedback.
We’re running 1920*1200 b/c its the biggest native resolution of the display, for clarity purposes.

***sorry found out the nVidias have 648mb of video memory —if that matters

The steady QTVR from your side looks like thats all I need!
LOVE IT!
F*CKING LOVE IT!
