re compositing pictures on pc in article may torreypinesca ncr com chu torreypinesca ncr com patrick chu writes i was wondering if anyone knows of a graphics package for the pc that will do compositing of a series of pictures what i mean by compositing is say i have a live video clip digitized panning around a living room and a computer generated bird flying around the screen i want to combine these two series of pictures so that everywhere where the bird frames are black i want the living room picture to show through yes i realize i can do this with a genlock and i do own a genlock but i want to be able to do manual compositing also it s ok if i have to composite one frame at a time i assumed i d have to do that anyway but being able to composite a series of frames would be even better i ve looked around and i haven t found a pc package that will perform this help please if you can get the live animation and the computer generated animation into autodesk animator fli or flc format autodesk animator will do this for you it can take one animation make a certain color clear and overlay it over another animation i do not have a way right now to convert avi or mpg files to animator files animator will also import a series of gif files to create an animation so if your video capture stuff can create this is might work vance gloster gloster inference com
