Learn how to replace a sky on a panning wide shot in Blackmagic Fusion using planar tracking, panoramic images, and masking to create a seamless composite.

Track a skateboard deck in Fusion Studio, blend a graphic into the worn paint with texture‑aware masks, shadow interaction, and subtle grain for a believable, production‑ready composite.

Stabilize, clean, and composite a damaged sign plate the right way. We planar-track in Fusion, restore the plate in Photoshop with spot healing and clone, reproject with an inverted steady transform, add film grain, and render a seamless “no‑one‑will‑notice” fix.

Remove a visible lav mic from an interview in Fusion. You’ll stabilize the shirt with Surface Tracker, paint out the mic with the Paint node, generate a cleaner still in Photoshop with Generative Fill, then re‑warp your fix back onto the original plate for an invisible result.

Build a rock-solid “AE Master Export” preset in After Effects using DNxHR HQX 10‑bit for pristine, edit‑friendly masters, plus a Cineform RGB+A variant for clean alpha support. Speed up every render by saving these as reusable Output Module templates and avoid quality pitfalls for future projects.

Two fast ways to grab a still from After Effects: use Video Copilot’s FX Console for instant screenshots to PNG, JPEG, or clipboard, or use AE’s built‑in “Save Frame As” to render a high‑quality still via the Render Queue. Set your comp to Full Res, choose your format, and export clean reference frames in seconds.

Paint out a distracting water bottle in DaVinci Resolve Fusion. You’ll stabilize the shot with Planar Tracker, use Paint Clone strokes to remove the bottle, then reapply motion for a seamless, artifact‑free result.

Remove distracting concrete cracks in a moving shot using an After Effects + Mocha workflow. You’ll planar‑track, build a still clean plate, paint with the Clone tool, mask the patch, and reattach the original motion for a seamless, invisible fix.
