I'm working on a composite where I need to track a sliding camera move to place a musician into the scene. I have a solid track on the original, un-retimed footage and the comp works great.

The problem: I need to retime the slide so the camera move is shorter and faster, syncing the room reveal to specific points in the lyrics. When I retime the footage and re-track it, the track quality drops noticeably.

My question is: is there a way to apply the tracking data from the original speed clip to the retimed version? Rather than re-tracking the degraded retimed footage, I'd love to remap or scale the existing (clean) track data to match the new timing.

Any advice appreciated — thanks!

I know of adding levels, gaussian blur, photo filter and tint.

But is there a faster/simpler way of matching the subject to a background?

Working on an LED magnifying glass effect in AE — 3D comp with stacked layers (outer ring, LED ring, dust, light refractions). I've keyframed camera movements to simulate a slight rotation of the glass, but the motion feels too large and mechanical — you can clearly see it hitting four distinct keyframes.

How do I make the movement more subtle and organic? Is it just a case of easing the keyframes, or is there a better approach altogether?

How do I make the lens moves smoother? They feel really robotic right now, i want a smooth and slight turn of the lens, rather than four precise beats...

Using fast bokeh pro, diopter, dust elements and a 3d camera.

Rough test. I am using depth maps, fast bokeh pro, diopter for blurs and optical trails. Also using a slight camera move to alter the perspective. The depth map blur is slipping a little. How can I improve this? Thanks

I am attempting to make a magnifying glass effect in AE. I have topdown green screen footage of a musician.

I have Fast Bokeh, Diopter, CC Lens. I think these may work. Also thinking I need to apply focus blur to the subject and possibly create a depth map to be able to blur edges of their body.

Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Will
