Re: 10 yard line

Matt,

Oo. That sounds like more trouble than it's worth. I read an article about how they do this live on TV and it takes about a trailers load worth of comptuers, pan heads that keep track of the camera's position at all times, a line that compensates for the curvature of the football field, and special color palettes that key out all colors except the line.

I was just hoping for something that would be simple in post. Apparently no luck. I can see your appriach in my mind's eye, but the idea of roto or keying out the people (and tracking hteir movement) seems like too much. I wanted to do a "highlights of the game" kind of video for some high school football for the players to review. But doing it this way in Commotion would be something I would reserve only for a feature film.

Nevertheless, you are ALWAYS the guy who is willing to help. I know you love Commotion, and your support over the years is much valued. I hope to meet you someday. Thanks, and if you have any other ideas about this, don't hesitate to write.
