Hi Sasha,

If you look in your windows menu in After Effects, you should see the smoother, click it, it open a windows where you can choose a tolerance to smooth your “pos/rot/scale” keys.Select all the key you want to smooth then try to use a tolerance of 1 ,should do the trick, otherwise play with the tolerance.There also a script called tracker viz, but I never tried it, maybe you should look at it.

Hope this help

Try to disable the glow in your precomp, and have you set your fonctionnality(in form layer map) to rgba to rgba, and in the proper dimension?

I bet is the glow inside the precomp!

Maybe you better to do a color correction/removegrain before you key the shot, try to replace the yellow by something else an avoid to change your green, there a couples plugin(BCC) or software(color) to do just that.Then key the shot, use this keyed shot as a track matte over your original shot(the one with yellow hair) and you’re done.Remember the only important color in your shot was the green,since keylight can key any color you just need to have a solid flat background to key, then use this keyed shot as a track matte.You can also divide your shot with different keylight setup(like said before) and/or(for more precise setup)track the problematic region and apply a keylight setup to this portion.I always use those technic on problematics shots and it work great.Also if you didnt have the key correct pro plugins suite, check it out!

Hope this help

What about animating the house instead of the camera!It should do the trick for sure!Just make sure everything is well parented to a null, for example.

Seriously, that cool but i sure is in 3d, if you look the last frame of paused motion you will see that the camera have to be very near of the kit-surfing guy but when you look at the middle of the paused motion(when the cam is on top) you”ll see no boat or anything near him(i know it can be rotoscoped, but its not) and to finish how can you have such a rig in water and an almost perfect arc camera motion, it impossible, its 3d for sure! is just(amazing) a 3d transition between to camera angle.

I would, but the upload image have a limit of 500k!
And anyway the problem is clearly visible, the dots around the building straight line are not jpg artifacts, they are on the footage, and i never see that before.
Have you ever see that kind of artifact on EX-1 footage?

Thanks

[Philippe Lessard]

Your right, but the dot are very easy to see even on this jpeg.

Here another still.
