Place character into background video.

Post by Ptoon »

Hi there.

Is there a tutorial that can show me how you place your character into a pre-recorded video so that they look as if they are part of the surroundings? I've seen this done on some videos where the character walks behind an object that is part of the background video?

Here is an example from this forum...

I think Ziggy is going to make a video tutorial on this as it's a little hard to explain. In that video, there was the background image, but the fountain was also cut out and put in front of the Muvizu footage with a video editor. If you use layers, you can output just the character which makes doing this in a video editor much easier.
