I want to add fake outdoor images behind windows

Hello everyone. I have a question. I'm a videographer. I mainly shoot furniture videos here. And most of it is shot in our own studio, designed as a fake house. My problem here is; I want to add fake outdoor images behind windows. How can I do that? Or can I? Because materials such as crops or plants may appear in front of the windows (depending on the angle). For example, in sitcom series, there are different images inside the windows. How do they do this? I am inadequate on this subject and I would like to ask you to share information on the subject. Thank you so much. Ceren Özcan

Hi Ceren,

 

No worries about your English—you're doing great! Adding fake outdoor images behind windows can be difficult in Premiere Pro. You’ll need to use After Effects, where you can track the 3D movement of the windows and then add images of plants or something similar. Applying a diffuse effect will make them look like they’re behind glass. I recommend watching some YouTube tutorials on 3D camera tracking in After Effects.

 

Cheers,
Paul

Is there movement in your shots or is it usually locked off?

Hi, thank you for reply. 🙂 Yes there is movement in my shot with gimbal. My customers (rightfully) complain that the tracing paper behind the windows does not look nice. I'm looking for a solution.
