Can't get it to be precise enough.
Any advice?

mocha comes with cs4 and looks pretty precise:
- yeah thx but i ain't got no Cs-motherfucking-4.. :(janne76

yes - outsource it
i tried the same thing and nearly killed myself
video is def not my thing

I cannot come back here for a while, so you need to increase the outer box decrease the inner box, track the luminance, increase the subpixel matching (this increases tracking time and interpolate frames at about 90%) hope this helps, you may be trying to track the wrong part hence it being quite difficult, also if you are tracking on luminance increase the contrast on the tracking layer while you track it to give you a better item to track. Then apply the track to whichever object you want.

there's a lot of unsharpness though, DoF!
And on the screen another movie was playing which needs to be replaced..

or upload it here and I can tell you online yo!.

here they are choss, keeping them on there temporarily, not sure if they ought to be out there, let me know when you have them,
first one is tracking layer, second one is layer that needs tracking..

yeah, i am uploading to another directory now choss, it has 2 source files of 17 mb each and the project file, AE CS3, Mac.

Janne, I would track the top right hand edge you see how there is great contrast between that and the curtain.
Also depending on how wobbly it is, I would just use 'Corner Pin'.This footage looks perfectly fine for tracking so track the top right and increase the subpixel accuracy, you will be fine after that :).

thanks mate!

I have emailed you back the now, it should look... ok, but it will need a wee tweek, for some reason my computer will not update, around 4 seconds it drifts but just change the motion on those key frames but do it say every 8th frame and delete the ones on between in order to give it a smooth motion.... If it's not right I can work on it after work n say 3 hours as I will be here anyway waiting for loads of stuff to print out :).

don't track it, just do a physical mask

another person helped on qbn! yay!
so i wonder who will be lucky enough to get a helping hand NEXT year?

*thinks up hand job joke to make funny on "helping hand"
*fails, goes with meta comment instead

On a semi - serious side note - CHOSS - do you use any camera match move apps?
Been looking at PFTrack vs. SynthEyes vs. Matchmover Pro.
Cannot afford Boujou. Any recommendations?

No sorry, if we need to do complicated things we use motion control cameras and all types of cool mechanics instead of arsing around with tracking and matching moves etc. etc. if we absolutely had to do tracking, we would normally do some prep. although this isn't always possible admittedly. Like jannes item for example we would probably have made a green screen with a few little markers on it then filmed the lap top so we could get a perfect track, the green is just for contrast no keying would be used until the end to get wrid of the bright green incase you saw a bit of it.
- we don't have greenscreens in Dutchiesland! :( Only bags of green... :Djanne76

Gotcha. I wish I had all types of cool mechanics. :)
