Help with a mask over a keyed out background

Hi
I'm working on a stop motion animation that was filmed against a green screen and I've used the blue/green screen key to key out a background and replace it with the pattern that the director wanted.
My problem is with the first shot where the camera tracks in to the action. There is a lot of stuff in the shot that I need to get rid of (not filmed against the green screen). I've added a mask to it, however, the 'rubbish' is replaced with the original pattern - how it was before it changed colour slightly when I made the keying adjustments (colour level, tolerance, edge thin...), therefore it is a different shade.
How do I match the colour?
Thanks

  • Need help with simple mask problem

    hi there this is mark from superbooty a band that has played in the bay area for over 10 years...
    i was wondering if someone could help me with a Motion2 problem i'm having regarding masks.
    i'm working on this simple animated scene of a car going by a beach - the photo is from the passenger side and shows the outside mirror.
    i'm moving the background (different from the original that came with the car) and i want to move an image of tokyo inside the mirror housing too.
    i figured out how to do the mask but when i try to animate the image of tokyo the mask layer moves with it. when i lock the mask i can't move the image - ???
    there's got to be a way to lock the mask but be able to move what it is masking..
    here are the links to three images that show what the problem is - the first is
    the shot of the scene unmasked, shot 2 is the scene with the mask enabled, and the third is the shot when i try to animate the tokyo background:
    http://superbooty.com/mirrorbeach1.jpg
    http://superbooty.com/mirrorbeach2.jpg
    http://superbooty.com/mirrorbeach3.jpg
    any help would be most appreciated - thanks!

    Adam's solution is the one I'd use - put the mirror contents in a layer, mask the layer, then manipulate the mirror content image. Did this solve it for you - if so, please click on the or buttons over posts as appropriate...

  • I've just came on board from Andriod and need massive help with the Contacts application any one out there willing to help the 'noob'?

    I had the folks at the store port over all of my contacts from my old
    ratty Andriod phone to my new shiny iPhone.
    however all 200+ of my contacts sort of "shook" out,
    meaning say John Smith, on my old phone,
    had in my contacts the following:
    John Smith
    123 Main St. Anytown, Anystate USA
    555-826-4879 home
    555-799-4247 cell
    [email protected]
    johnsmith@facebook
    all nice and neat on my andriod but when it ported over
    all that information was just scattered all over my contacts sort of like:
    john smith, smith john
    john smith 123 main st. etc.
    johhn smith home 555 etc.
    john smith cell 555 etc.
    john smith johnsmith@ etc.
    etc.
    so for all those 200+ contacts in my phone, I've got a zillion of them now...
    so I'd like to get this all back in order before I and Siri explode.
    I know nothing, and I know even less about outlook and the sort.
    But I do know I am in Dire need of help with this... I figured that eveything else
    involving iphones and apple in general was supposed to be cake but it seems
    like this is the only thing that isn't cake at all... unless, I'm just a right idiot. (which is possible, hence spelling and grammatical issues).

    I believe I've tried to sync it with google, but it didn't seem to take
    muchless take my calender. it seems to favor my facebook calender
    more over my google calender, but Siri seems to be helping me re-write
    it...but that's not the game here, it's the contacts. I've tried to export
    the cvp (??) list and import it into my iTunes account. However, It only
    doubled my issue because it didn't over write my existing contacts.

  • Need help with Workflow Issue: One notification sending out non-stop email.

    Hi,
    We've created a custom PO Approval Workflow based on standard PO Approval Workflow and we've had this for a while now. Last week, we encountered an issue where the notification keeps on sending email to the Suppliers and Buyers. We found out that the particular notification_id in the WF_NOTIFICATIONS table keeps getting updated by the minute setting the MAIL_STATUS to INVALID then back to SENT then back to INVALID again and so on. We think that whatever is updating this table is the cause but up until now we haven't found what's updating it. Below are some information of our instance.
    Oracle Applications: 11.5.10.2
    Database: 10.2.0.4 64 bit
    OS: AIX
    Custom Workflow based on revision 115.127.11510.16
    Customizations:
    - Created custom notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP based on EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom message XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF based on EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Added #WFM_CC to XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF.
    - Created custom attribute XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER and set as Performer to notification XX_EMAIL_PO_PDF_SUPP.
    - Created custom function XX_ADDTL_STARTUP_VAL right after function "Set Workflow Startup Values". This function sets #WFM_CC attribute and XX_PO_WF_EMAIL_PERFORMER attribute.
    Not sure if the customizations have anything to do with the issue since not all POs have this issue. Have anyone experience this? Would really appreciate any help with this.
    Thanks,
    Allen

  • Keying out backgrounds

    Hello. Would someone know how to key out an undesired
    video background (grey sky) and replace it with another background (blue sky)? What would the process be?
    Thanks,
    Jordan

    It's all going to depend on the complexity of the situation. ie, is that the only sample of that particular color in the entire frame, how consistent is the color of the key'd portion, etc.
    I'm guessing that ae is the only concieveable route. Although, especially if it is a still frame, you could get fairly good results with the color key filter or the limit effect in 3-way color corrector.
    Post more in-depth info, and perhaps someone else can help you more than me.

  • Need help with moving sight over to Iweb

    I would like to start using IWeb but I already have a website built that I used Frontpage to create. I want to make some changes to the sight so if I cannot convert some of the things I have, Im ok with adapting!
    www.DarnGoodSeasoning.com
    1st question: (Visit site above) if you hover over the links on the left they turn green Can I do that in Iweb? I figured out how to do it with font but not pictures. I have the .gif of each in yellow and green.
    2nd When I have created pages in the past www.HeyRobi.com It changes the name in the address bar to http://heyrobi.com/Mac/HeyRobi.html Call me petty but I want it to say HeyRobi.com can I fix that?
    Thanks in advance for any help or tips. If there is any advice or tips how to improve the Darn Good site I am always up for constructive criticism. BTW I am dropping the frames!
    TIA HeyRobi

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. 1 - The rollover options are only available for text, not images.
    2 - To get must HeyRobbi.com to show in the URL window you'll need to use standard domain name forwarding with masking. Then every page of your site will display only that. The downside to that is visitors will be able to only bookmark the first or entry page of your site. That may or may not be a problem for you. My tutorial site, toadstutorials.info, is setup with masking.
    The following is a screenshot of how I setup my site with GoDaddy.com for forwarding and masking. Although every domain name provider is different your's will have a similar setup for you to set the masking for your domain name.

  • Need help with printer sharing over ethernet

    I'd like to share the printer hooked up to my Mac Pro via USB with a MacBook in the same room. The MacBook is connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet cable (no router or switch; just a direct connection).
    I have enabled "Printer Sharing" on my Mac Pro.
    However, I'm not sure what to do from here. When I open up "Network" in System Preferences, and click on "built-in ethernet" it says "inactive". When I go to "Print and Fax Preferences" and attempt to add the printer connected to the Mac Pro, nothing shows up.
    I know I'm not understanding a key point here. If you could help me out I'd appreciate it. The goal is to allow the MacBook to use Airport to connect to the Internet, but to have access to the USB printer connected to my Mac Pro via ethernet (long story why this is necessary, but it is.)
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your offer to help.
    The printer is indeed connected to my Mac Pro via USB and is working perfectly.
    As I stated in the original post, printer sharing is enabled in System Preferences on my Mac Pro. There is an ethernet cable going from the ethernet 2 port of my Mac Pro to the ethernet port of my MacBook.
    The missing element was that I had not established a network connection between the two Macs. From the Macbook's Finder I chose "Go>Network" and then selected my Mac Pro. After I entered my username and password, I was connected to the Mac Pro.
    At this point I was then able to see the USB printer connected to the Mac Pro in the MacBook's "Print & Fax preferences".
    However, I still have one problem. When I add the printer on the MacBook, it chooses "generic postscript driver" even though I have recently installed the proper driver on the MacBook. Why would this be the case?

  • Help with admin password i am locked out

    i have windows 7 home premium and have locked myself out of my computer and do not remember my administrator password and can not find it.

    i have windows 7 home premium and have locked myself out of my computer and do not remember my administrator password and can not find it.
    There are numerous options built into Windows to help you get out of this predicament:
    Reboot the machine with your Windows Repair CD, then use System Restore to set Windows back by a few days (works only if you changed the password recently).
    Log on under your spare admin account, then reset the password to your usual account (works only if you set up a spare admin account).
    Log on as Administrator in Safe Mode, then reset the password to your usual account (the password is usually blank).
    Insert your USB flash disk with the password keyfile (works only if you took the time to create such a keyfile).
    Use the password hint (works only if you created a hint and if it is good enough to let you guess the password)
    Check your paper records (works only if you jotted down the password somewhere)
    Ask your friendly computer dealer to reset the password for you.

  • Help with transmission times over a 2 gig link.

    We are getting 2 GE links that we can etherchannel together between to sites that are across the state from each other. We need to transfer up to 55 terabytes across this link on a one time basis, and the normal latency of the gig link is 8ms.
    These two gig ethernet links will be connected to Gig ports on SPA-2X1GE modules on a 7600-SIP-400 blade in a 7604 router at both ends.
    Approximately how long will it take to move 55 terabytes across this 2 gig etherchannel? Can it be done over a weekend?

    Hi,
    One can do the math in various ways, but please consider, if there is a single host sending the data, only a single link will be used. This is because even with etherchannel, to prevent out-of-order packet arrival, one flow sticks to one link all the time.

  • Need help with Modbus RTU over TCP communication

    Hello!
    I'm working with a project that involves communication between a LabView PC, a cRIO-9073 and a few Crouzet PLC's with XN05 modbus extentions. The issue I'm having is to get a stable and reliable connection between the units. The cRIO is communicating with the PLC's by Modbus RTU over TCP and I've created code that read and write to them in a sequential order to avoid possible ModBus conflicts. The LabView PC is sending a "ping" (boolean true) every second to the cRIO over UDP and the cRIO is then sending the "ping" to the PLC over Modbus/TCP. The PLC has a timer that waits for pings, if no ping has been recieved in 7 seconds the emergency brakes are applied and the system shuts down.
    The main problems right now is:
    * After a while I lose the connection between the LabView PC and the cRIO. "Connection with RealTime target cRIO-9073 has been lost".
     - I also get either error code 56 or 66 on the TCP link.
    * The second problem is that if I quickly pull a TP-cable from, let's say, a PLC and then directly plug it back in I want the TCP connection to quickly reestablish. However what happens is that the "pings" from the cRIO stops coming to the PLC for like 5-6 seconds (time to reestablish link?), which means the 7 second timer is almost full. One option would be to raise that timer value, but the drawback is that the system will take longer time to respond to an true error which could be bad.. My question is simply, does it really take 5-6 seconds to establish a TCP connection between a cRIO and a PLC? What affects the time? 
    I would greatly appreciate help or respons on this one. I attach a simplified version of the code I use (all variables and such has been replaced with constants). 
    Is this a good way to do a ModBus communication over TCP with 3 PLC's?  Is there a better, safer, more reliable way? All suggestions on improvment is appreciated
    Thanks!

    Dear J,
    Check the state machine Architecture here.
    1. In your acquisition if you got error in any system you close all TCP connections that is not right your other systems are working fine.
    2. You go with parallel loop connection. For each PLC you run separate code with error handlers.
    3. Check the attached VI for TCP Read. Same VI you can modify and use for your ModBUS operations.
    4. In you Sub VI you are passing a constant cluster. I am not able to understand what is the use of case structure inside the subVI, In you code you are passing the constant so its always same.
    As you done previously made 3 loops or VIs to read the data in a main VI. First try to made one VI with one PLC, remove your all bugs and errors and copy it 3-time with different-different configurations.

  • Help with a mask problem, please.

    I spent many hours creating intricate masks for a uni assignment (due on Monday). Both of these masks only half work.
    An example is a mask of a tree with many branches, designed so that huge colourful flies fly ‘behind’ these branches. The trouble is that the mask works in some areas and not in others…?
    I don’t understand how this could happen, as each mask is on its own layer and each partially works.
    The ‘fly’ is sometimes visible when it should be, but not at other times (when it should be).
    I’ve tried everything I can think of trying – changing the colours of the mask (no good), I even converted a copy of it to a bitmap in desperation (no good).
    While I was constructing the masks Flash crashed on numerous occasions. Could this have had a negative affect?
    Can anyone help…please?

  • TS1424 Need help with netflix app over wifi on iphone 4

    I have iPhone 4 which is 3G.  I used the Netflix app on this phone. I recently got a new phone. I stopped the phone service and cell data plan to my iPhone 4. The netflix app still worked fine over wifi connection.  Suddenly, I am unable to connect to netflix.  I was going to try to remove and reinstall but I now cannot connect to iTunes store.  I found something that said I need to set up the phone to sync with wifi on iTunes, which I did.  synced again.  App still won't work and still cannot connect to iTunes store from phone.  My other iPhone 5 works fine but I need the netflix on the older iPhone 4 because of connection to tv.
    any ideas?????  I've tried signing out of netflix and back in on computer...  can't get in to Netflix app to even sign out then in.

    You can change the email address of an Apple ID without creating a new account. Apparently you didn't do this. You will need to Authorize the computer using the AppleID and password that the content was purchased with.
    Try connecting the phone, but DO NOT SYNC. Go to the iTunes File menu and choose Transfer Purchases. This should put the apps and music purchased with the old account into the iTunes library. Launch of of the songs and you should be prompted for the password to authorize that account.

  • Help with occasional system locks when logging out or rebooting

    Basically what's happening is occasionally when logging out, restarting, or rebooting from an X session, I get a total system freeze. The screen goes blank and there's no input possible. I'm not seeing anything in the logs. The card is using the xf86-video-intel driver and used to work fine with the i810 driver.
    There are some similar threads around like this one:
    http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=65469
    but it's still somewhat different. For me it only happens occasionally and I lose complete control of the system. This was happening when starting from GDM, and is now happening from starting either with 'exec startlxde' or 'exec ck-launch-session startlxde' (current). GDM is gone now (Hurray! Whoopy! Yahoo!)
    One of the solutions listed in the above thread was to remove the vga= line from the kernel command in menu.lst. I don't have that. Another solution was to add it. I didn't try it yet. If this were the problem, wouldn't the behavior be consistent?
    It's worth mentioning for a bunch of attempts yesterday I couldn't log in with startx, and I was getting a number of different errors in Xorg.0.log. Today it's working. I have no idea why; It's the same xorg.conf and same software as before.
    I'm out of ideas. Got any?

    I really could use some ideas with this. The machine in question isn't in my possession very often and it needs to 'just work'. I've since removed everything from lxde except for the panel and am now using a straight openbox session.
    The machine only blanks when shutting down, logging out, or restarting. I do have control over the power button, so it will power off. Unfortunately this just kills it, so the file system is uncleanly mounted. Eventually this is going to kill data (if it hasn't already).
    I want to reiterate that there is nothing in the logs that everyone isn't seeing with the intel drivers. I've been through countless bug trackers, as well as threads here and elsewhere. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to get this machine to close gracefully? If I can't get X/intel to play nicely, is there something I can do to get the power button to close the system properly?
