Hasta La Motion!

Hey guys It’s so great to have a community of experts to ask advice from!
I’m trying to parent roto points to a tracker. Hopefully giving me a horizon line based on three tracking points and three roto points. The middle roto point is a bezier and I want the left+right handles to average between the centre and side track points.

This should add the two track points together (minus 10px offset) and divide by two, hence giving me an average.

But, while in the expression dialog I get the correct result, after it’s applied it seems as if the "/2" is ignored.

Any ideas?

Hey All,

I have some difficult footage with a blue/green background and some annoying shadows.

I know there is no magic button to pull a good key, especially when the original footage is messy. I have something to look at, but it doesn’t look at all professional. I have attached a pre/post and my key node setup. Please note that white is not going to be the final background, it’s just to show you guys.

Any pros out there with advice on how to approach a hard key? You can see I have some bad outlining on the arms. Maybe I’m just screwed by the shadows on the original footage, but let me know if you guys have any ideas on how to solve my problem. Holistic or specific answers totally appreciated.

Oh and please forgive me if my script is a sinful mess. I’m a newb.

Thanks so much!
Paul

hi guys,
another tcl question.

i use [lrange [split [value root.name] / ] 6 6 ] to split of to ‘show_shotname’

filepath looks like this:
/Volumes/xxx/xxx/xxx/xxx/show_shotname/show_shotname.nk

is it possible to split of ‘show_shotname’ in a way to get the text before and after the underscore separately?

thanks in advance

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

just shot some other test-footage today on 50fps and found out that it is playing half the speed as it really happened.

So inside nuke’s project settings I wrote: 50fps

But nothing changed.

Writing it out at 50fps works on speed but the quality suddenly became worse.

Hope one has a quick hint for me… didn’t find an answer on google or so.

Thank you in advance! 🙂
