***SOLVED*** I trashed the preferences

Thanks, Michael.
I actually did try content aware fill later on. It fixed one tricky bit, but failed on most of it, even with good reference frames.
I tried photoshop for my matte painting work at first, but I made one big file that covered the whole shot, by stitching various parts together. What I learned though was that there were too many subtle plane changes that were creating parallax issues, so I had to break the shot up into different bits. This is when I decided to scrap photoshop and make my “cards” in After Effects directly.
In the end, someone on another forum told me how I could right click on a precomp and tell it how to react to opening in the layer panel before alt+clicking on it. It is such an unintuitive command that I can barely even explain, but I was able to use it to load up the correct precomp in the layer panel.

Thanks, Michael. That does make sense. Unfortunately I don’t have any plugins budget, so hopefully there is a way to remove lens distortion inside AE itself.

Thanks, Filip!

Unfortunately, I don’t really know what you mean by this. All I know how to do is track the object in Mocha and export the cornerpin data. I don’t know if you mean that I can bring the .psd file into Mocha and make it line up there? Sorry, I am so not an expert in any of this.

Sorry. I don’t really use Audition anymore.

Thanks, Doug. We were looking for a software-only solution for this particular job. We went with Shotput Pro.

Sorry for the delay in responding. The project is now over and everything turned out fine.
“Are you saying when you bring your flat transcode into Avid it already has a 709 look to it?”
No, it’s flat, but at least I can start at the same place as the AMA stripped of it’s colour transformations to see what’s going on.
“What are your camera raw settings set to in Resolve? Sounds like you have some metadata being added somewhere along the way that might be leading to the issue. Do you have a view lut or anything like that going on in the resolve color management?”
Sorry, I don’t know Resolve inside out – not familiar with ‘camera raw settings’ – can’t check now, as I no longer have the rushes. The ProRes files had an embedded LUT, but Resolve didn’t see it. I could see it in the Arri Color tool, and Arri’s Avid AMA plugin used it.
I feel very confident Arri’s Avid AMA plugin is wrong. I looked at it on some shots where it was crushing the blacks way too much and I knew it was way off.
Anyways, the project is over, so the heat is off. I’ll contact Arri about this and see if they know what’s going on. Thanks for the help!

I didn’t know there was a problem with the Avid forums on here, but the best place to go for Avid stuff is definitely the Avid Community forums: https://community.avid.com or The Avid Editors of Facebook Group
