How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a separate clone stamp?

How do you add the motion path of a tracking point to a clone stamp without the clone stamp assuming the same initial/continuous positions of the tracking point?
Is there a way to keep the clone stamp's initial position and then add the path onto it?
I am using the clone stamp to remove unwanted duct tape that was used to keep lights on a wall.

I have spent two days trying to find a solution to this exact same problem. I have seen some overly complex solutions that probably work but trying to figure out the explanations is like trying to understand someone describe drag coefficients of rotary wing aircraft. While I am sure they work, they are way above my comprehension. I wanted an intuitive and straight forward solution for something that shouldn't require some arcane technique to fix.
What I did:
1) I used the Clone Stamp tool to paint over the spot on the wall I wanted to remove.
2) picked a more easily discernible point of reference for Tracking. In my case, I used a poster on the wall.
3) As per the instructions here, https://www.video2brain.com/en/lessons/removing-an-object-with-clone-stamp, I pasted the Attach Point data from the Tracker into Clone -> Transform - > Position 
However, that didn't work for me as the object I was painting was not the object I was tracking. The solution from the video was simply moving my cloned spot to the tracked object instead of leaving it where I wanted it. So...
4)  I then manually adjusted the Anchor Point of the Clone back to the original spot I wanted to cover.
I played footage and the cloned region successfully moved with the spot I was covering.
This is what I was able to figure out. I'm not an advanced user. I only use After Effects every couple of months when I need to fix minor things in footage, so I've only learned to use what techniques I need for the job at hand. No doubt, experienced users may shake their heads at my simplistic fix. I'm sure my technique would be wholly inadequate for situations far more complex than fixing spots on a gray wall, which is why my eyeballs cross when reading suggestions that seem way more involved than one would expect for something as seemingly minor as this. It's just a spot! It should be super easy to remove, right? Well, that's what I was looking for and that's what I came up with. I hope it helps.

  • How do you add the Adobe Add-In into Visio 2013?

    I have used Adobe with Visio and created PDFs from older versions of Visio 2010 that have the layers in the PDF.   I am unable to do this with Visio 2013.  Can Adobe Acrobat XI Pro support layers for Visio 2013?   how do you add the Adobe Add-In into Visio 2013?

    Sabian,
    My version of Visio 2013 is 64bit, that because my PC and most of the software is 64bit.  When I try to install the add-in for Visio it had error message of not being compatible.  I try your "Compatible web browers and PDFMaker applicatios" and notice that Visio 2013 64bit in not listed.
    When I try Adobe Acrobat support they told me they don't support Visio 2013 64bit.  They didn't say if or when they were going to support Visio 2013 64bit.  They suggested I use the Acrobat community forum on "Acrobat Feature Requests" and request the add-in for Visio 2013 64bit.  I am not happy with this.
    Do you know of any third party PDF that supports layers for Visio 2013 64bit?

  • How do you modify a motion path?

    I'm going through the Motion manual, and am in the Behaviors chapter. I can apply a motion behavior to an object, but the instructions for creating a curve don't seem to work. I can't create any bezier points either by double-clicking or option-clicking anywhere on the motion path (i.e., in the canvas??) as the manual instructs. I have looked through the archives, and I see that someone has asked this before, but the responses don't seem to answer the question. It doesn't seem to matter which selection tool I use. I know I can keyframe this, but I want to learn to use the Behaviors. I'm sure this is simple but I'm darned if I can figure it out...
    Thanks,
    Steve S.

    hi,
    have you checked that the Handles option is on in the View pop up menu?
    Also is the motion pth selected in the project? If so the tool mode changes automatically to an edit mode?
    Hope this helps.

  • How can you determine the absolute path to a dynamically created NetStream object?

    We are trying to implement video captioning with a freeware component, ccforflash. This requires us to provide an absolute or relative path  to our NetStream object. How can we determine this path in Flash CS5 AS3?
    From the CCforFlashCS5 documentation:
    "2. Object name and path
    Type the name and path.  This is the instance name of the object with which CCforFlashAS3 will synchronize. It must be spelled correctly, since CCforFlashAS3 will query the object with this name for timing information in order to synchronize the captions. The path must also be included; either relative to the CCforFlashAS3 component (i.e. this.parent) or the absolute path from the main level of the movie (root)."

    It would be easier if the NetStream object was created on an easily identifiable place on the timeline. This player has an MVC architecture. The NetStream object is created in a subclass to Model class, which is itself a subclass of the EventDispatcher object. The View class access it via an interface.
    As you can guess, it's not that straightforward to determine where the NetStream object is located on the timeline. This is compounded by the fact that the NetStream object does not have a name property.
    I've tried methods like these, but they only work for the DisplayObject class:
    public static function displayObjectPath( avDisplayObject : DisplayObject ) :String
    var lvPath:String = "";
    do
    if( avDisplayObject.name ) {
    // var obj_name:String = (avDisplayObject.name == 'root1') ? 'root' : avDisplayObject.name;
    if (avDisplayObject.name != 'root1') {
    lvPath = avDisplayObject.name
       + ( lvPath == "" ? "" : "." + lvPath );
    } else {
    trace("displayObjectPath() NO NAME avDisplayObject="+avDisplayObject);
    } while( avDisplayObject = avDisplayObject.parent );
    return lvPath;
    } // displayObjectPath
    private  function showChildren(d:DisplayObjectContainer):void {
    trace("showChildren()");
    if (d.numChildren>0) {
    for (var c:Number = 0; c < d.numChildren; c++) {
    trace("showChildren c=",c," name=",d.getChildAt(c).name);

  • How do you add the wireless keyboard

    I bought the new iPad and a wireless keyboard bought the keyboard doesn't work with it.  How can I make it work.

    is it a blue tooth keyboard?
    That's the kind that works with the iPad.
    You may need to go into settings and turn bluetooth on. THen follow the pairing instructions on your keyboard (usually you turn the bluetooth on, your ipad will 'see' the keyboard, it'll tell you to type a series of characters on the keyboard adn then the devices will be paired.)
    once they are paired, the ipad will default to the bluetooth keyboard anytime it senses it, which means the on screen keyboard will not pop up as long as the blue tooth is sensed and active.

    I've built a form that has three fields across "Yes, No, In Progress". with several questions down the side. How do I count the "yes" "No" " In Progress" check mark fields? Also need to know what the script would be if I considered all the "No"and "In Progress" fields to be no.
    Yes / No and In Progress fields = % of completion.

  • How do you add the files name to images within a PDF

    I have been searching the web trying to find an answer to this question, I am not sure what the proper term is called, but I refer to it as a 'coded pdf'. Hopefully someone knows what I am talking about and can help me find an answer!
    The end product is a coded PDF that has the file name of all the images lableled on top the image. For example, a product brochure that has 500 images, all of them would be 'coded' with their file name, to find easy in source files. - Is this an export option in InDesign, or an option somewhere in Acrobat?
    Thank you in advance for any help.
    -Melissa

    No, Melissa's asking for a filename that's searchable - text made of pixels is no use.
    Acrobat cannot apply the original image filenames after the PDF has been created as it can't read the information from anywhere. You have two options, both in InDesign:
    use smart captions to add the name of the file in a visible format beside each image.
    use accessibility tagging and place the image filename in the ALT TEXT field, then export the PDF with tags enabled (the filename will not be visible on the page but will show if you hover your mouse over the image).

  • How do you change the afp path "server" name on a non-server version of OS-X?

    I'm talking about the name listed after "afp://" which is shown at System Preferences>Sharing>select "File Sharing" on left, look at text under the words "File Sharing: On" where the text starts with "Other users can access shared folders on this computer... at "afp://xxxxx" where xxxxx is the name I'm referring to. I think this is the "server name" position in the file path. Looking at a couple of other Macs, they seem to normally use the "Computer Name" here, but on my 2008 Mac Pro running 10.6.8, it seems to be stuck with an earlier version of a Net-Bios name I used, and I can't get it to change regardless of what I now do with the computer name or the Net-Bios name.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Try power cycling your router, as it is most likely returning that name when asked to translate the IP address to a name.

  • How do you remove the filename/path using the SDK

    I have a program that uses the Adobe Acrobat SDK . It creates aPDF file from a HTML file that gets created after the program cruches some data. It can create the PDF file fine but how do I get it to do it with out the file name and path in the lower left corner. We insert the created PDF file into another document and do not want to show the data on these created pages.
    Have searched through this site and can not see it mentioned.   HELP !!!

    I am not the programmer, he is out of the office today.
    What I see happen is that our program is used to create a database of the content of a multipage PDF file (an old doucment that has been scanned and OCR'd), the program then outputs the data as a HTML file (not the Adobe SDK).
    This HTML file is then converetd into a PDF file and attached to certain subsets of the original PDF file, its does a whole bunch of splitting and recombining of the document into the sections we need. It does this fine, no problems at all. All of this is done using our program and the Adobe SDK.
    The issue is that the PDF file (generally just one page) that gets created from the HTML file includes file name and file path at the lower left corner of the page. We are looking for the commands within the SDK that can turn the feature/function that creates this text on/off.
    As the Adobe Acrobat on this machine is used for many different jobs, some that require this text to be shown on other documents that are created (by using Acrobat itself and not the SDK) we really don't want to have to open Acrobat itself everytime we want to run this process.
    The SDK seems to have commands for pratically everything else, we were hoping it also has the commands within it that we can then program to not create this one area of text when converting the HTMl to PDF file from within our program..
    I hope that comes across OK
    PS
    I just ran a test creating a PDF file froma  webpage, and I can see the field Place Headers and Footers on a new page. I have tried creating the page with and without the Headers and Footers, that works fine. But can this be done just by using the SDK and if so where is that command located.
