HI everyone, thanks for your responses. I’m glad to hear you all found it useful.

-TonyTony: You can use the motion tracker in the same way to stabilize what you need to roto and then invert your stabilization (with an expression between the position and anchor point) .

I guess I could do a part 2 of this tutorial to demonstrate that, and a few other roto techniques that I didn’t have time to mention in this tutorial.

Thanks again everyone
Pete

Create the mask, select the mask shape, copy, paste into the position property of the layer with the snowflake.

Are you trying to key it in log space, you should first apply the cineon converter? Use remove grain to render the sequence first as cineons trying to find the best trade off between sharpness and grain removal.

Hi I can give you some advice about the first one, 720X486 SD fits into 2K 2048X1556 square pixels almost perfectly so it is really just a matter of creating a square pixel comp at 2048X1556, bringing in your movie, and hitting ‘option command F’ to fit it to the comp size. Apply the Cineon Converter and Choose Lin to Log leaving all other properties at their defaults. Save out as a cineon sequence. You project must be set to 16 bit.

AE doesn’t up rez very well though. If you want to improve the quality at 2K you could batch them in Photoshop or Shake both of which have better uprezing algorithms than AE.

Hope this helps

Hi the only thing that vaguely comes close is trapcode 3D Stroke as far as I know.

You could always learn shake if it really bothers you.

Hi, to set the output module, first command/control click the module you want (to set it as the default), then drag all your images in. Set whatever you want it to be named as default first as well.
They are kind of work arounds but they work OK.

Hi (regarding making a bunch of proxies all at once). Drag the stills directly from the project window to the render window. Without unselecting them, change the settings for one of the stills. The settings for all the others will change too.
