  • Absolutely!
  • If this was fake, I promise I would tell you.
  • But it's really real!
  • I swear on my mother's life!
  • And if you happen to reply, Hmm, well, okay, whatever.

  • Let's us learn about them now!
  • For years, you've listened to me explain the different types of motion tracking.
  • Point tracking, planar tracking, 3D tracking.
  • They're all the same thing, really.
  • You get the computer to follow tiny, recognizable pixel clusters from frame to frame, then use that to figure out either the simple position and rotation of the whole image, the distortion of a flat area,

  • This is the ancient art of the paintout.
  • Do you have what it takes to master all three levels?
  • In a point-tracked situation, painting stuff out of a moving image is no different than in a still photo.

  • And then there's the S-tier.
  • With a 3D solve, you can basically paint out anything.
  • Let's erase this hapless camera assistant from the reflection.
  • Uh, did I say let's?
  • I meant I've already done it.
  • Did I say the assistant?
  • I meant the elderly couple sitting smack dab in the middle of frame!
  • How?
  • By tracking lots of features in the scene, then roughly reconstructing the individual surfaces in 3D and projecting the shot's image onto them from the camera view.
  • This lets us step outside the camera angle and extract individual orthographic views of all the areas we want to clean up.
  • Once these altered textures are projected back onto the surfaces from their respective angles and viewed through the original camera, it all comes together and we've got a nice, clean, elderly-free bench.
  • And yes, with this technique you can erase reflections, even your own.
