Nuke roto trackin question
Posted in: Nuke TutorialsHi
Nuke noob question
Ive been trying to follow along with a tut from this site, and I keep runnin into an issue. The tut says to create a track, and then attach it to a garbage mask, but every time I do this, it moves the garbage mask off.
See attached. The tut doesn’t really explain this well, or at least it didn’t happen for him. Im using 6.1…with the root tool. Hes using 5.2, with the bezier tool. Is that my problem?
