Hi There!
I am trying to do a sky replacement on this piece of timelapse footage: http://vimeo.com/28308019 (PW: timelapse). I am using AE CS5 & I have tried using colorama & rotobrush to mask out the sky, but they are not providing clean enough results. Anyone have any tips or tricks that would help?
Thanks!
August 29, 2011 at 7:47 pm #219555AnonymousInactiveHow about a simple luma keyer with garbage matte for the lower part of the picture and the pole on the right side plus additional mattes for buses if necessary? BTW, these windows will be quite a pain to roto and composite…

Corey, what does the replacement sky look like? Since the bus windows are tinted and don’t match the current sky you might get away without having to do major work on them. The outside bus mirrors, on the other hand, will probably be tedious.

Thanks for the help and tips!
