    Unless I missed something, there isn’t anything to magical about the linking of the shot to a camera move. You would not extract a rotation value directly from the footage. What could be done is an inference of rotation based on time. If the turntable is a constant speed and it takes 4 seconds to go 360 degrees then you can set this change in rotation to the camera and the back ground would appear to move at the same rate. This could be used to give the impression that the camera dolled around the talent in the space.
    I’m not sure why you would even create an expression but if you wanted to you would look at the number of frames in the turntable shot and determain a ratio between the rotation and the time (i.e. 360/(4*framerate)). I’m sure Dan Eberts could help with the expession itself.

  • I think your problem is in the z depth. I know you said that the layers are all at zero and thus you would think that stacking order would determine which is on top but if you have changed x or y or even scaled a layer you can have intersection problems. You might check the comps 3d render settings (it’s in the advanced tab).

    I’m not understanding why you made the layers 3D, if you can go without – the problem should go away.

  • Try putting all your clips side by side in the (standard PAL 720×576) comp, make a null, parent all the clips to the null and keyframe the null.

    Yes. Composite a very large check in someone’s hand for… lots of actors, wardrobe, sets, props, very large studio, elaborate camera move and lots of time for lots of takes.

    For the crease you might try a displacement map (mostly black with a thin gray to white line) used to wrinkle the image. For the unfolding there are some distortion plugins but you might also look at animating two copies of the image one on ether side of the fold as 3D layers.

    I was able to open the vob file in quicktime then export out to dv.

    That didn’t work for me, on mac. I can play it in quicktime but AE gives – error: movie has no duration.

    Here,
    https://syndromestudio.com/ the video you talk about is listed under Selected Work/Motion. You might ask them if they have time to give you an overview of what they did. If you get any information share it back here as well.

    [leejam99] “I wish that there was a tutorial that picks one of these videos and goes through each effects…”

    I know what you mean but there are a lot of ways to get the same result and every new piece has different needs to get what you want out of it (aka one fix does not cure all).

  • Yea Dave but this is Digitial Composting… were all your left over bits get recycled.
