Hasta La Motion!

Hi everybody!
At first I must say that I am a novice in Fusion(5.3). I passed through several tutorials and then I tried to make my first scene. As a background I have footage of video taken by the camera from helicopter. As a foreground I have footage of rendered model of circle crossroads. I used Merge node to connect it together. Next step was to eliminate sharp junction between 3d model and video. It was very expressive in one place. So I inserted Tracker node with 2 trackers, tracked all sequence. Next I draw a polygon mask with only one edge, set Border with and Soft edge and connect output to Tracker foreground. In Tracker I set Operation to MatchMove. At first frame everything looks o.k. but when I run to the end of the scene, camera moved to another position and mask was clipped.
I think that this same problem was discussed in this forum several times, but I wasn’t able to solve this. Pls If somebody can help me and explain it as for a stupid novice.:) Thanks!

I have a solid background in 3D Software (Maya, Max, Rhino, etc), rendering (Mental Ray, Vray), and composting those 2D channels in nuke. The "only" part of nuke I don’t understand is the 3D nodes. Once I get past the basics, understand the general workflow, I shouldn’t have much difficulty from there.

What are some good tutorials or resources for getting started with basic nuke 3D composting?

This has nothing to do with visual effects or compositing, but if there is any group on the internet who knows video games, it would be the vfx guys.

My xbox 360 has develop a problem where no video goes through into my tv. Audio is fine, it spins up, there is no red ring of death, but there is no video. I borrowed a friends cable, and tried it out, nothing. I tried a different input, nothing. The cable is fine. The xbox is messed up.

I’m WAY out of warranty, and actually bought the system with cash from a friend, so I’m stuck trying to fix it myself. I can build PCs, but I’ve never taken an xbox apart and would like some help with this.

I tried looking online and found that the no video issue requires the same fix and the RROD issue. But everywhere I look I find links to repair guides you need to buy, or poorly done youtube clips, or step by step guides that are more text than pictures or videos.

Help!! A VFX guy without his video games is like… Michael Bay, without his ritalin.
