How would you attempt this composite?
Hello!
I'm rying to achieve a composite and having trouble. Would love some suggestions on how you would do this!
Here is a reference video: https://vimeo.com/741585892/a320bdab62
(this is not my attempted composite, rather just a temp in the edit)
Basically what is happening on this pan is I need to stitch together two diferent pieces of footage, which are both panning accross the same area. Right now you can see the stitch happen in a crappy cross-disolve over the tree, but it needs to be seamless.
Issue is this was not shot with motion control, so the pan speeds and positions are not exact. So if you simply mask on the tree, then track the mask, the left and right sides of the image dont match up, as the camera is moving at diferent rates. I tried slowing down and speeding up the footage to match, but it wasn't really working either.
Next thing I was going to try was to basically create a panaorama freeze frame of the outgoing pan. Meaning go into Photoshop and composite a still that is maybe three times the width of the video frame, using stills from diferent frames in the source footage. Then I was going to track still onto the the incoming shots position movement, and add motion blur and grain etc, so it feels like video. Then I was hoping the left most side of the still image I composite would be a match for a frame in the outgoing video, at which point I could sync up the shots. If that makes sense...
But what would you try?
Oh and the sequence resoltion is 2;40 but the souce footage is 1;85, so I can move things around a biut vertically.
Thank you!
