need assistance

friends,

can anyone help me with a time lapse issue - someone had to get their hand into my time lapse film. editing it in after effects - i used to use it when it was called "coda" - but for the life of me - i cannot find an elegant way to simply take this person's hand out of one frame?

should i open the jpeg in photoshop and manually take the hand out?

or is there an intelligent tool in After Effects that lets you "interpolate" or "morph" something out of a frame?

would appreciate help - please copy to visualcomms@gmail.com with your clever ideas!

thank you

Guys, I just have too many questions...

Here's another one - i remember quicktime pro letting you add your own watermark to a clip - i just need a nice compressor for the .avi's which i am currently forced to render. using windows 7. is there a more elegant basic converter/editor that's a little smarter than QTPro but not as sophisticated as having to learn another premiere.

Have they really taken some basic features out of quicktime - i cannot see where i can add a url to the clip...

software writers have driven me insane... i cannot learn that many more programs - it stops being fun after the first few hundred...

wasn't there something called "sparkle" or something?

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Regarding your first question, on timelapse: either edit the jpeg in phothoshop(which is the recommended way), either remove the bad file and duplicate the previous or the next one., or better blend the previous and the next one into a third one to replace the bad file. Do not use any morphing tool as it will affect all your frame in a bad manner.

For the second question: I think you mean MPEG Streamclip which you cand download it for free from http://www.squared5.com/svideo/mpeg-streamclip-win.html

Good luck!
