Complicated rig removal... running out of ideas...

Hi guys,
    I am working on an aerial shot in which I need to remove some objects. I have tried many things and none of them have left the area looking real, here’s what I’ve tried:
First, I tried to use the rotobrush tool in After Effects CS5.1 and then use an underlay of the texture that is supposed to cover it and that didn’t work due to seams in the underlay that I could not figure out how to blur together to look good, Next I tried going crazy with the clone stamp tool and attaching the clone to tracking data but the problem with that was that the source point did not attach to a tracking point (which I don’t see how you would do, so if someone could tell me, this would be ideal), after that I tried going through the footage frame by frame in photoshop with the clone stamp tool. That didn’t work because when I put them together in After Effects into a Cineon sequence, the floor looked like it was swimming, meaning that because each frame was cloned slightly differently, the clone source was again, moving and the exact pattern on the floor was moving around from frame to frame. Now, I am trying something which is a little bit more complex and may or may not work... it has been 3D tracked outside of after effects, then that tracking data was imported into after effects and attached to a null object (a sphere) and a camera was added. After that, I went to a frame where the most stuff that had to be taken out of view was in the frame and I used the clone stamp tool in Photoshop to remove the rigs that must be removed and masked out everything but the pattern of the floor. I imported that into after effects as a layer of its own and attached it to the tracking data of the 3D track, then made a mask of the layer and key framed the mask path, added a key framed curves color correction and I will add some shrubs into areas where the rigs are not able to be covered. This may not work due to the fact that there are multiple shadows on the ground area that need to stay but are currently covered by clean floor pattern but need to stay consistant with reality and how the shadows would be on the floor. Maybe I could rotobrush out the rigs that need to be removed and then place the clean floor underneath the layer which needs rig removal? What would be ideal is if I could find a way to attach a clone stamp source point to tracking data so that the source points I chose stick to the same spot as the camera moves around the set and the cloning sticks to the points where there are objects that need to be removed from the frame. As a note, this shot is a dpx sequence so it is already split up frame by frame. I am asking this question to anyone and everyone who has even the smallest idea. I have already done so much research and watched many tutorials that I thought would give me some enlightenment then didn’t because they were for shot that were far more basic than this. The camera flys around the set in a non-steady fashion and the rigs which need to be removed are sometimes behind trees and other things.
Thanks in advance for any ideas you put forth to this project!
Also, I am willing to work with other programs if it means I can get this done and have it look top-of-the-line.

The tracking is all fine, I had to have it 3D tracked in a program called Boujou. Mathias, the problem isn't that it is not stabilized, just that the whole shot is a large scale rotating view of a house with a deck, I did try painting out everything where it is static, but once the camera moves, so do the chairs and therefore, we have lost covering the chairs and gone into covering random bits of the shot with nonsensical areas to cover something with. I watched your tutorial and since there is not very much overall movement, it didn't seem to help too much but I could give it a look again to see if I can try to apply something to this shot. Every frame of this shot is like the whole world was litterally picked up and shaken and swapped around, each frame is that different from the ones before and/or after.
As I said, the tracking is fine and going through the trees is not so much the issue at the current moment, just getting the chairs to be consistantly covered realisticly while there is nothing obstructing the view is what I am trying to focus on as of now.
NukeX 6.3 has a node called planar tracking, but for some reason, I can't really find anything like that in AE and I only have access to NukeX 6.2v6. I tried planar tracking in Mocha and that didn't work out very well, when the deck gets covered by the trees, the tracker gets confused and starts tracking the trees instead of the deck. I'm not quite sure why I think NukeX would be any better at it, but I sure wish I could try~

  • Problems Running out of IDE (Netbeans) LDAP SSL

    I am kind of new to Java and I have a problem with a code that is using a TrustStore. Basically if I run the code within Netbeans everything work but if I do the "Clean and Build" and execute the JAR file when I check my logger out when running out of the IDE I am getting the following exception.

    And from what I have found the Bind error could be caused because the code is not able to use the Certificate, here is how I call the truststore
         String keystore = "C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre7\\lib\\security\\securitycacerts";
         System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.trustStore",keystore);
         System.setProperty("javax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword", "12345!");
         System.setProperty("javax.net.debug", "all");
    I know that my LDAP is works with the SSL because I can connect using the LDP.exe and in fact if I run my application using netbeans everything works.
    Does anybody know how to get around this?

  • Help please! Imac won't start and running out of ideas

    Help! My imac G4 Flat Panel running tiger won't boot or go beyond the grey screen, here's what happened,
    I went away on holiday for ten days and unplugged it, on return it worked fine for the first few goes however after leaving it with alot of photos open for a couple of hours I returned and the screen had gone funny, showed the app window on top but not properly and grey on the bottom two thirds, I could just about move the mouse which was ghosting and it sort of worked but not properly, I switched it off on the power switch and rebooted and it was okay for a few more sessions until getting stuck with the mail app open, I tried to force quit but couldn't and eventually turned it off on the switch, after which it won't boot or go beyond the grey screen every time I switch it on, I've tried all the following with no joy:
    -unplugged all peripherals
    -taken out airport card and extra ram I'd fitted myself about six months ago
    - done command, option, p and r on switching on, also command x and command option.
    - tried to boot from the original os x cd which came with it - this gives me a broken mac symbol and multicoloured spinning ball
    - boot from os9 disk which came with it this gives me a flashing question mark sometimes but most times just the grey screen.
    - boot from apple hardware test diagnostic cd which came with it, just says loading and hangs
    - boot from tiger dvd - shows the apple logo then a sign similar to no entry sign and spinning thing underneath.
    I've tried rebooting about 100 times now, as it once did a similar thing about eight months ago but eventually booted okay and then I ran check permissions etc. and never had a problem until now.
    I've put everything I can think of in in case any of it is important, apologies if there's too much extra info here but if anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful, am a bit stuck without it, luckily I've backed up most of my stuff but there's some things I haven't. please help! thanks

    Sorry to hear about your problem and I wish I had happy news. Sounds like what I am going through. Just spent over 200$ getting the Tiger upgrade installed at a Mac repair place because I wanted it done right, and had the RAM upgraded. After two weeks of bliss I get a gray screen with a spinning gear. The CD drawer wont open, nothing. Take it back to the shop and I find my hard drive is done. This is the SECOND hard drive. My G-4 came with a 40 gig HD, the one that they replaced it with 2 years ago was an 80 gig. I hope thats not whats going on with yours but it sure sounds like it. I beginning to wonder if there isn't a design issue going on here. I am a casual computer user but my son is on it for hours at a time and I'm wondering about heat buildup and the hard drive. Gonna ask that question when I pick it up, good luck with yours.

  • Help Please. Running Out of Ideas Trying to Make iTunes 7.6 Work

    Ok, I have literally spent hours trying to solve this problem and so far nothing is working.
    iTunes 7.6 (and 7.5) will install perfectly on my computer. However, when I go to run the program, nothing happens. If I look in the task manager, it shows that the iTunes process is running and using about 15megs of RAM. Despite this, nothing happens. No interface, no errors, nothing.
    Here is what I have tried:
    1)I have tried running the program with multiple users and the same thing happens, process is running, nothing happens.
    2)I went in and tinkered with the msconfig file to ensure no programs were conflicting with iTunes.
    3)I deleted and removed pretty much every Apple file from my system.
    4)I have tried doing a clean install of iTunes and Quicktime and it doesn't fix anything.
    Quicktime is working. The version of Quicktime running is 7.4, I think that is the newest version of Quicktime.
    At this point, I am pretty much flustered and stuck. I don't know what else to do, short of reformatting Windows and trying it then. I don't particularly want to do this though, especially when the problem started when iTunes 7.5 came out. iTunes 7.4 works though it also give me an error but at least it works.
    If anyone can help me, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks.

    If iTunes.exe persists in the task manager even though iTunes doesn't launch, it means something is causing iTunes to hang during start up.
    Restart you PC prior to troubleshooting to ensure nothing is hanging when you start troubleshooting, or use the task manager to terminate iTunes.exe.
    You should run a virus and spyware scan as malware can do this although this is not particularly likey.
    Some firewalls have done this in the past, so try a start up with your firewall off, again not very likely thee days.
    After that a good first step is to establish whether iTunes will start in another account. This narrows down the possibilities a lot.
    The following ariticle on freezes tells you how and also how to proceed with troubleshooting once you know if the problem is account specific or system wide.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302856
    I am going to take a guess that you will end up having to use MSConfig to look for conflicts.

  • Hard drive issues...running out of ideas...opinions?

    Hello everyone!
    Let me start by saying that I love all of my Apple products. I've been able to use an iPod mini, another iPod, an iPhone, a Powerbook G4 and a MacBook with no daily or otherwise recurring issue; however, the reason I now have a MacBook is because the Powerbook G4's hard drive died. Sad, but after 3 1/2 years of problem-free use in college...I could justify the upgrade.
    I purchased the MacBook from my university at a nice discount back in March of this year (this was right after the newest batch was released). I was comforted by the fact that I'd more than likely have another 3-4 years before a replacement would be needed. Now, I'm not so sure...
    One day last week, a tab that was opened in Safari froze up, and a song playing in iTunes began to hang. I attempted a force quit of both, but with no luck. Eventually I had no other option but to shut the computer down. Afterwards, I began getting the infamous flashing question mark upon booting back up. I realized that I'd probably had some damaged files as a result of the forced shut down, so I began working with Disk Utility/First Aid to correct the problem. Luckily, I had no important files or programs to worry about, so I went for the Erase option and hoped I could just re-install the OS.
    Unfortunately it was not that easy. Now my hard drive is not showing up as Verified under the S.M.A.R.T. status, and the volume "disk1s2" will not mount. I tried everything I could find on these boards, still with no luck. So, I went for Disk Warrior today and crossed my fingers. When the menu finally loaded, there were 2 options in the drop down menu: the disk warrior cd, and an Unknown Drive. When I chose the latter, this is what I was met with:
    Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure (-36,2268).
    I'm almost convinced that I need a new hard drive. However, when I run the Apple Hardware Test, everything checks out fine. I ran it twice. Also, when I run a test on the hardware in Disk Warrior, I get this message:
    This hard drive's built-in SMART diagnostics indicate the drive is functioning normally.
    Now, with my old Powerbook G4, the hard drive doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. That I can understand. It needs to be replaced. But with this MacBook, all the tests indicate the hard drive is fine. The only blatent message about hardware failure I get is when I try rebuilding the directory with Disk Warrior. I know I'm probably just in denial, but when my computer is only 5 months old...I think I have the right.
    So, what is your opinion? New hard drive for the 5 month old MacBook (grrr)? Or is there still hope left?

    SMART diagnostics are by no means all-encompassing, so it's quite possible for a drive to pass SMART diagnostics but still be defective. My advice at this point would be to boot from the Installer, go to Disk Utility, and see if you can erase, or if that doesn't work re-partition (normally you'll choose to create a single partition) the drive. A badly corrupted disk catalog might not be reparable, but reformatting may work.
    If that also fails, then the probability of the drive being defective is quite high and replacing it will probably be necessary. The tiny drives used in laptops are by nature of their very small components more prone to failure than are other drives, though as capacity and performance rise, even desktop drives are becoming more prone to breaking.
    Hope this helps.

  • Running out of ideas - how to stop iPhoto from constantly spinning!

    Help! I've got iPhoto 5.0.4 and it consistently appears to get stuck in a spin during normal use - usually when unmounting a camera, but also when switching between applications and sometimes when it's simply left by itself. I've tried a number of things to resolve this including resetting the preferences, rebuilding the library, running it as a different user, yet nothing seems to work.
    The only clue that I have is that if I sample iPhoto when stuck in a spin I see another thread that is not normally visible stuck on a semaphore when trying to perform a selector on the main thread, and the main thread is also stuck waiting for a semaphore. Presumably it's somehow managed to deadlock itself but I've no idea how to go any further...
    Any ideas on how to go about finding a solution for this problem would be greatly appreciated!

    Steve - I'm just another user like you - not a "pro" - but I think especially if your photos are all hi-res, i.e. over 1mb each in size, iPhoto may be choking on your library size. Just my 2c.
    You may want to break up your library into smaller pieces.
    Do this carefully - and be sure you have your library backed up before starting. There have been other posts in the past about a product called iPhoto Library Manager. It's a relatively inexpensive and very good product that facilitates this process. That's what I used when my library got too big.
    Good luck

  • I've run out of ideas to fix this....

    Alright, so here's my problem: I installed the updates and had the (what seems like) typical major problems. My computer kept freezing up, my ipod freezes up, and itunes doesn't see my ipod. (My computer does see the ipod, and the software updater will install the updated verson, but only if I'm in disc mode)
    I'm pretty sure I've tried all the steps.
    -All 5 R's more than once.
    -Installed the programs that came with my ipod
    -Installed the updated versions
    -Brought it to an apple store
    All I have to show is an ipod that no longer has my 3000+ songs, computer that no longer has 4000+ songs, and an apple store empolyee that said (And I Quote Word For Word) "Wow dude, that ipod's crazy messed up."
    Will someone please tell me any more options. I can't get help from apple at all. Also, please just don't give me a link so one of the sites I've already read on here, because I've read them all.
    Thanks.

    I sure hope someone answers with a solution as I am solutioned out! I will make the trip to the apple store tomorrow now that I have restored, restarted and have nothing! All I have is a screen that says don't disconnect and but Itunes says there is no Ipod connected. What the hey.......Help someone.

    ok. let me put this simple:
    basicaly what i want is to someome of you explain me (like ...to a baby) the procedute to put an applet of my own running, i've read some documentation, but somehow i can't find what i need...
    1�Question: do i need to write my own app file to run with jcwde? If so tell me the AID can be anything (5-16bytes or something like that)? what's the format of AID?
    2- After the compilation of java file i get the class file, everything ok so far, them i've convert it into CAP
    to generate a script file, thats right?To generate the CAP, i can use a configuration file can you explain me that file? The AID, must be the same that in app file,right? and the method for the applet how do i calculate it?
    3- Since i get the scr file, do i need to edit and insert into the file?
    i've realize in this forum that the script generation misses powerup and down and the selection of installer, it's that right?if so, i've realized it's divided into RID and PIX. The RID contains the class and the instruction, my problem here is that i don�t want him to do nothing, all the instructions should be made inside the code (like DISPLAY_TEXT and GET_KEY...), so what do do?
    About the PIX i'm sure (i guess) that AID must be the same that in app and scr file, it's this ok?
    i know that i've asked to many and some stupid questions but if you could help i'll apreciate it, it's very important.
    Thanks!

    Thanx to reply.
    1- you say that i can use c-ref, if that's right, so tell me way runnning a example with cref return error 6f and with a app made by me return 90.
    2- you also say that i can use existing AIDs from examples, ok. but i do not want to pass any arguments(0x00, i know) i don't wnat to pass any inicial instruction, and i want to set the CLA and INS in my source code in order to do several things. how can i do this? writing directly to the APDU buffer starting at buffer[0]?
    3- you also say that i must put this in scr file
    1.powerup;
    2.installer applet AID
    3.scr generated by scriptgen
    4.create applet
    5.select applet
    6.instructions to interact with ur applet in normal
    APDU format.these will depend on the INS u have given
    to ur functions in applet code.
    7.powerdown;
    - what is the installer applet AID and how do i calculate it? and the create applet anda de select applet? give me an example besides what comes with javacardkit.

  • Airport Express - running out of ideas why it's suddenly so slow

    I'm hoping someone knows what's going on here - there must be something obvious that I'm missing.
    The facts are:
    - When I plug directly into my Billion ADSL modem via Ethernet, if I run a broadband speed test, it's up around 7000 kb/s, which is our ADSL speed.
    - When I plug the Airport Express into the Billion modem and run a broadband speed test, it's stuck on about 230 kb/s.
    - Strangely, however, I can run two, three or four speed tests via Airport and all run at the same speed.
    So it seems that there's no issue with speed to the Airport, it's almost as if it's limiting the size of each individual connection?
    Here are the (unsuccessful) steps I've taken to diagnose it:
    - Changing the modem to bridge instead of routing - no change
    - Toggling interference robustness - no change
    - Turning off our cordless phone and changing wireless channel - no change
    - Resetting all modem and Airport settings - no change
    The speed slowness is being experienced across all our laptops - both Mac and PC - and it doesn't matter if only one person is online or all of us.
    Anything else I should be trying? Is there something obvious I've missed in trying to diagnose it?

  • Safari font(?) problem - running out of ideas!

    Hi,
    I'm having some Safari issues. I've been through the forums, and tried everything, but it's still happening.
    The problem: certain pages are all jumbled, links aren't... well, aren't links. And some pages don't show text at all. Here's an example from my work email:
    What I've tried already:
    font finagler
    font smasher
    cleared the font cache
    never had Times Phonetic or Helvetica Fractions
    Disabled Helvetica Neue
    fixed duplicate fonts
    never use font sizes smaller than 9 in Safari advanced preferences
    no user-specified style sheet
    no safari enhancing programs (actually, I have Inquisitor, but the problem existed prior to installing it)
    it's happened both on the new safari beta and the latest official release
    Have tried both Western (ISO Latin 1) and Mac OS Roman Default Encoding.
    I've restarted after making each of these changes.
    Help! I'm sick of going back to Firefox every time I run into one of these sites!
    many thanks.

    Hi Lili and welcome to the forums!
    Can't guarantee that it will work, but it would do no harm to try this:
    Empty Safari's cache (from the Safari menu), then close Safari.
    Go to Home/Library/Safari and delete the following files:
    form values
    download.plist
    Then go to Home/Library/Preferences and delete
    com.apple.Safari.plist
    Repair permissions.
    Start up Safari again, and things should have improved.

  • Running out of Ideas

    Fellow Geeks,
    I find myself chasing a 49.3048 series error on my HP Color Laserjet 4700 (Q7492A).  I have done extensive searches online in Google and cannot find anything that will fix this issue.  In some of my searches I find that the problem is caused by the network card.  Others point to printing Adobe documents or the print driver.  I have changed the NIC and the drivers and still get the same error.
    Anyone out there have a resolution for this issue?  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
