Lyndon Alvarez with an AEtuts tutorial demonstrating the importance of footage stabilization in the rotoscope workflow. Lyndon shows how to stabilize footage, and then reverse that stabilization with some simple math. Check out the complete tutorial here.
“In this tutorial we will be taking some necessary steps to stabilize our footage so we can then rotoscope the dumpster out with ease. After we roto we’ll employ some arithmetic so we can reverse the stabilized matte, add AE’s built in motion blur, and composite our 3D text in the background. To do this we’ll be attaching our camera to a similar stabilized area to fake 3D motion tracking. So let’s get to it”
