Ohh I’m sorry, the first time I hadn’t pay too much attention to the video (and hadn’t too much time to answer it in depth).

Yes, there is only one tree (not too close and not moving too much), and some bushes that seem to be not moving at all.

The method I explained before is extremely easy, and is going to give him great results in this case. In order to complete my first explanation, you should stabilize the tree (perhaps a few frames and a loop is enough) and put it into the first card on the left hand (this is quite simple using a keymix and a rough roto).

If you don’t know how to set up a 3D scene with cards for a nodal pan, this may help:

There are other ways to achieve the same (oflow, 3DTracking and reprojection…), but might be more painful for this easy shot.

Cheers,

There isn’t too much motion on the plate (just the camera movement), so the easiest way may be take 2 or 3 frames from the plate, project them into cards on a 3D scene in Nuke, and then animate a 3D camera with the new pan.

I hope this helps.

Well, here I hadn’t this issue, then, when I read your post, I went to shake to try it in depth, and seems to have problems with infinite loops, so try to set only the play range that you need for the loop (inPoint = 1 and outPoint = 500 for example).

I hope that this solve your problems, it seems to work fine here.

Ok, I haven’t tried to do that with a QT, and it seems to be a little tricky, but it can be achived in the fileIn node!!
In the same timming tab that I tell you in my first post, set the inPoint to “-inf” and the outPoint to “+inf” then set the reTiming option to “Remap” there appear some new controls: and now set the startFrame to 30 and the endFrame to 35. Set the inMode and outMode to “Repeat”. And now it works!!!!

The “-inf” and “+inf” are for set the loop to infinite in the both directions, but you can set these to whatever you want.

Well, first of all, you should learn the compositing basis. For this, go out and buy “The Art and Science of Digital Compositing”, that is a great reference for getting this foundation.

For compositing I recomend you a node based app like Nuke, Shake or Digital Fusion. As you are in windows platform, the options that you have are Nuke or Digital Fusion. You can get a 30 day evaluation version of both of them, but in the case of Fusion, you have to pay $95 for it. Fusion have a learning edition as well.

If you don`t mind to go into linux or you have a mac either, you can go with Shake that is a great app, and it has a very low price at this moment (<$500).

But, before you begin with any app, I recomend you to get a good foundation in compositing (after that, you should go with any app).

Of course it can be done.

If you load the fileIn node for that qt in the parameters tab, you can see two tabs: source and timming, select the last one -timming- and there are the inPoint and outPoint, 30 and 35 in your case, and inMode and outMode and these are set to “freeze” by default, change these to “Repeat” or what ever you want them to do. And there it is, now you have a looping video in your comp.
