Converting Stabilization Data to MatchMove Data
Use the same building clip to build a simple matchmove. In this case, remove the
stabilization data from the building clip, invert the stabilization data, then apply the
data to a second image.
To convert stabilization data to MatchMove data:
1
Add another FileIn node (do not delete the node tree built in the previous section) and
read in $HOME/nreal/Tutorial_Media/Tutorial_07images/stabilize/eatatjoes.iff.
Note that because the image is saved as a Shake IFF (.iff ) file, the Domain of Definition
(DOD) data is retained.
Since you have already tracked the background, you can attach the Stabilize1 node to
the EatAtJoes node, then use a Layer–Over node to composite the two images together.
2
Extract the Stabilize node (select the node in the Node View and press E) from the stab
(building) node.
3
Connect the extracted Stabilize node to the eatatjoes node.
4
Add a Layer–Over node to the Stabilize node.
5
Connect the stab (building) node to the second input (background) of the Over node.
