Marker Removal w/ Motion Blur
by Andrew Furlong on Aug 28, 2008 at 12:07:40 am

I work for an fx house and I'm a roto artist. This particular shot is all green screen and green floor w/ track markers all over the darn place. Unfortunately, I can't post a screenshot of the project due to the fact that it hasn't aired yet, but needless to say, the subject flails his hand in front of a tracking marker several times, and the marker is embedded in the motion blur of his hand. Now normally, I would just clone the green motion color in front of the marker, however, my supervisor just wants the alpha, so whatever I clone won't matter. What's the best way to get rid of the marker?

You might be able to mask off the area(s) in question and do an additional key in the colors of the markers.

I've also had some success using a feathered mask on the area(s) in question.
