[Paul Figgiani] “I was just wondering if anyone has had the chance to view 2K (2048×858) material that has been upscaled from 1080p on a large projection screen? If so how does it look? “
We work this way a lot of the time for theatrical movie trailers and it’s usually impossible to tell the difference once projected – however we leave the DCP mastering house to do the upscaling. Not sure how well FCP X manages it but I would make sure you test all your options and find out which looks best.
Do make sure any graphics are 2048 though as you will notice a difference there.

Here’s a quick demo video on how to do this:
Hope that helps.

Oh shucks – I’ve just done you a tutorial video which I’ll upload in a moment.
There’s a useful tip for adjusting the camera’s angle of view which might help you.

I just meant add a Grid Generator as a 3D layer which makes it easy to then line up the camera – using the interactive controls.
Happy to do a quick demo video if it’s still not clear.
Superimposing a grid is the classic way of solving this problem because it becomes really easy to judge the correct camera position from the perspective of the underlying scene.

Good luck with it – should look pretty cool when you’re done.

Add a camera to your scene.
Keep your live action background plate as a 2D group.
Add a Grid and make the BG Opacity zero.
Adjust your camera so the grid lines up with the perspective lines of your car number plate.
At that point when you add in your new number plate – also in a 3D group it will be easy to line it up pretty much perfectly.
It stop position has an X rotation of about 14-15 degrees so you’ll need to work with that.

Very sad. He was a great guy and a true pleasure to work with.
One of the very best voice artists ever – if not the best.

You’re right that linking isn’t going to do the job for you here.
You need to use the Track Points behavior on the line.
