Here’s a question Got a shot. Talent fg. Bg tracked in 3D space out of focus. There’s jitter on talent. If I remove jitter with 1pt track stab average then background has jitter. So I need to inverse jitter and add to bg. Can anyone think of a way to do this? Can’t rebuild the shot. Too much stu…

some level of motion vector stabilization might help, but as I once explained to an overpromising DoP: the problem with parallax jitter is stabilizing any one point makes all the others worse.

Somewhere in the middle so that they both jitter a little? Very filmic!!

Already tried it. Didn’t work unfortunately.

I mean I could. I was just hoping / Hang on I think I’ve thought of a plan. -minus(Axis1.position.y minus axis2.position.y) or something. That should do it. I think.

Godwin’s Law states that as an online discussion grows, the probability of someone throwing in an obscure expression increases.

…you know who else said that?? ducks

Stabilize with the Distort node like @BrittCiampa does.

Yes. That’s a good idea. How much separation is there between FG and BG @johnt ?

Another great suggestion. I don’t think that would work here. I wish I could show you the shot but it’s nda’d.

It’s an abstract bg. So I have full control but it has geometric shapes on it.
