Creating Clean Plates

7

Now insert Transform–SmoothCam nodes for the clip2 and clip3 nodes, and repeat the
stabilization process for these images.

When you’re finished, you may want to load each SmoothCam node into the Viewer
and then create Flipbooks to preview the results.

To stitch the clips together:

1

Double-click the AutoAlign1 node to load it into the Viewer and the Parameters tab.

2

Again, check the frame range for analysis. If it’s not correct, type “1-11” in the
analysisRange field.

3

Set up your options as shown below.

4

Click the analyze button to calculate the results.

So far, things should be working pretty well and you should see a decent background
plate.

Now add a few more nodes to crop out the edges and remove some of the lens
distortion on the stitched image.
