I have a video of inside the car which the inside is moving a bit, but I want dashcam footage to be played in the windsheild so it looks like it was driving on a different road. But Using the masking tool works for the first few frames until the camera moves, anyway to automate this?

Heres an example of what I'm trying to do, but as you can see the the video inside the car I'm moving about so the dash is moving which I cant figure out how to maybe use a tracking feature?

It works with a still image, but thats boring.

Thanks!

Hmm, I have a couple ideas. The first would be to stabilize the video and produce it before applying the mask and the new background. That should at least make keyframing any remaining mask movements easier.

The other would be to use the mask + motion tracking feature if you have ColorDirector.

Following!

Was actually looking at colour director a few days ago for this very purpose.
