Let’s take a moment to review our pro

gress, before completing setup steps:

On the

Program

monitor, you should see the talent clip overlaid on the image from

DDR 3

(

LiveMatte

is

turning the green pixels in the

DDR 1

clip transparent). You’ll also see imagery from

DDR 2

displayed

wherever the (originally) orange card appears in the frame.

What’s happening is that the

Advanced Tracking

effect is applying the values from the (DDR 1)

Tracker

for a secondary iteration of

LiveMatte.

Our

LiveMatte

settings cut away the green, revealing the

C

layer

behind. Afterward, the orange color range is also keyed out, revealing the

B

source through the

transparent region.

Up to this point, the effect takes advantage of the

Tracker

color values, applying them as a secondary keyer

but we haven’t yet done a

nything with the actual

motion data

the

Tracker

is supplying. Let’s do so now.

17. Click the

Position

button for input

B

to open the

Position Panel

.

DDR 1
