Hasta La Motion!

Hi, new to nuke, but been using AE for years. This is probalby one of those node based newbie questions, but here goes.

I have a track marker on an actor’s neck that needs to be removed.
My plan is to create one clean frame and track this over the offending track mark.

My workflow in After Effects would be to open up photoshop, clean the frame, save out to TIFF and track on.

I could do the same thing in NUKe, but I’m sure there is a better way to handle this in nuke.

Can I use rotopaint to clean up my frame, then create a node somehow to be just the area of the neck that I’ve cleaned up. I’m familiar with masking and mergeing in Nuke, just have no idea how I can grab, or capture the area in a clip for use as a still to be tracked back on.

I hope this was clear. Any tips, or pointers would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

K.
