F_Kronos Motion blur

i was looking up the tutorial on the Foundry site about using motion estimation within the Furnace_Kronos node.

the shot im doing involves a man as the fg and him running across the screen creating alot of motion blur. im trying to isolate him as a matte so that kronos will know which is the fg and which is the bg so i can do a speed up on the shot seq. do anyone know if when you do fg roto. do you roto the motion blur of the man running across or should i be rotoing to the hard edge?

at the moment i’ve tried both and coming out with different result. neither one being accurate to a good visual state.

thanks

Export Lut from Fusion 6.1 for AE CS5

I know this sounds like a simple question but has anyone successfully exported a LUT from Fusion 6 (.3dl or .cube) and successfully loaded it into AfterEffects CS5 using AE’s Apply LUT utility? A client has AE 5 and wants to view the DPX sequences in AE CS5. 😀

Inbetween Magic have created this excellent promo for Belgium based channel Prime. Set to the sounds of American folk music, this dramatic spot uses the innocence of toy figurines to distill the drama of the networks programming slate.

A great idea well executed, and with a heap of spin-off potential.
