re.: rotoscoping

Sun Feb 23, 2020 10:27 pm
HI everyone,
new to this forum and to kdenlive (or video editing for that matter);
I have been trying to learn how to fiddle with clips and photos and I must admit that i have done giant steps considering my previous attempts using cinelerra; however, I am stuck on, what i believe to be either a difficult/advanced task, or a "buggy" effect.
I want to achieve the opposite of what this guy is doing in this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPQWOGDng-Q ; i would like to open a door and the coming view being a totally different environment, i.e. a park, an ocean, etc.
With the rotoscopy effect i manage to create several keyframes for each 1/20th of a second of the door opening and i almost manage to get my ocean on view as the door opens but then everything kinda lose its positions and it goes "kuku" (both during project creation and on rendering).
I am not sure what the "affinity" transition is and how it works, (couldnt find an easy tutorial on that either).
Before i go any further with detailing what I am doing (probably wrong) can someone point me to a tutorial for this effect (if available)? I cannot find it anywhere

My box runs on Slackware current and I am using kdenlive 0.9.10 on KDE 4.14.38.
Any help, links, suggestions, would be welcomed.
Thanks

i suggest you to try and updated appimage of Kdenlive. (you are using a 2017 OS... and this maybe can be an issue on running appimages)
try some updated Kdenlive versions:

2019: https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/release/ ... 4.appimage
2020: https://files.kde.org/kdenlive/release/ ... 4.appimage

the affine is no more present on kdenlive, usually to move/resize something can be used TRANSFORM / POSITION AND ZOOM / COMPOSITE AND TRANSFORM / CROP-SCALE-TILT

on your case, the COPOSITE AND TRANSFORM is the same thing of AFFINE. (compositions tab)

Thank you for the quick reply.
I have switched to the appimage you suggested (although, I had tried to install the same version through pckgs.org and it wouldnt launch). However, the appimage launches faultlessly; now I have to spend some time trying that "door-opening-into-the-ocean" effect.
Is there a tutorial somewhere out there to achieve something similar (other than the one I listed above)?
Thanks

I managed to do the effect of opening a door and have the splashing ocean just outside!
the latest kdenlive is great and did the job flawlessly.
Very happy now and i can continue the learning

p.s.: how do i mark the thread as solved?
