Hi Shake isn’t sold on the PC platform anymore. The last version for PC is Shake 2.5 I believe. That would work fine if you can get your hands on it. Nuke would work too. You could get a 30 trial of Nuke for PC and just do the tracking in Nuke, then bring over the tracker info to AE. It is a bit involved if you aren’t used to it.
I forgot to mention, try tracking just the red or green channel, or just the luminance channel by converting to yuv space, also try degraining the footage first, add a little blur, add contrast and don’t forget to precompose everything.
Let me know if you need some more help.

Hi you could try averaging 2 or 3 track points around the same spot. If you are really desperate you could track it in Shake and copy and paste the tracker data from Shake to AE. I have had to do this a couple times to track the kind of footage you are describing. If you are interested in trying the Shake way let me know and I’ll give you some more details (There are a couple tricks to make it work).

I think cc cornerpin should do what you were originally describing.

Hi try selecting the mask, copy it, select the position property of the layer, paste.

Hi, you should apply the cineon converter effect set to lin to log. It is supposed to look washed out.

Hi Chris, you might be looking at the layer window as opposed to the comp window.
Hope this helps

Hi you could use the lens blur effects and use the roto matte you created as the lens blur effect’s depth matte. You will need to precompose the matte in order for this to work as it should.

Why don’t you download a trial of Primatte for AE to see if you can pull a primatte key that doesn’t have those jaggies (there is a dv setting in primatte). Then you will know whether it is an AE problem or a Keylight problem.
Or you could google a technique for smoothing DV for keying by first changing the image into yuv or equivalent colourspace then blur the 2 colour channels only but not the luminance one.
Sorry, I thought for sure it was a footage interpretation problem.
Good Luck

Your footage is incorrectly interpreted in AE 8. Right click the footage in the project window to open the interpret footage dialog.

Hi Don’t draw your circle mask until you have already applied the tranform to the solid layer.
