I was wondering if there was some film motion tracking software ('A') out there that can pick up and select moving pixels that encroach on a pre defined selected are on screen. To explain more:
Imagine if I had a video camera fixed on a tripod and was filming and infil site (gap between 2 buildings that is going to have a building (3D model) inserted in the gap). At some point there will be an opportunity to capture a frame where there is nobody walking in front of the site or a car passing by. If I take this still and select and store this area in software 'A' will it be able to cut out an alpha channel or whatever so that anything passing in front of the building area (inserted 3d model) during the course of the video footage, can pass over the top of the model I.E. look like the building is actually there. I know there will be problems with reflections etc. but just working on this general principle, A. Is there software out there that can do this and B, is it affordable (sub £500)?
Hope you can understand my ramble!!
Cheers, Rob
