I'm not a Motion expert so I apologize if this seems like a stupid question.
I have a shot of a person holding a cell phone. I want to replace the image on the cell phone screen with a still image I have.
I imported the phone shot into Motion and used the behavior: Analyze Motion on it.
I then took the jpg and told it to match the move (using, as a source the Analyze Motion).
It worked perfectly except for the end frames when the person lifts the phone. It creates a huge amount of blur that the motion tracker can't follow. (And, I need that bit of motion to make the cut to the next shot work).
No problem I thought. I assumed I could just manually set key frames for the last few frames. The problem is, when I have the motion tracker on, it wont let me use keyframes -- it somehow turns off the ability.
Also, the motion tracking behavior is not a distinct layer. I thought I could just have an end point and turn it off when I was done, but no - it analyses the entire shot (like the optical flow filters do) and I cant turn it off for one region. (It puts a cog wheel next to the layer but thats the only indication it has been tracked)
So, I guess what I'm asking is how would I turn off the motion tracking or over ride it for a while while I manually keyframe in certain areas?
If you want to see what I mean heres the shot, the jpg and the motion file:
