790 Chapter 26 Transformations, Motion Blur, and AutoAlign
5 Once the analysis has concluded, changing blendMode to mix and scrubbing through
the Time Bar shows you how well the resulting alignment works.
The Mix setting, in the case of two images that almost completely overlap, results in an
a 50 percent blend of both images. In the above image, the ripples in the snow appear
to align perfectly.
6 In order to use this result in a paint operation, set the following parameters:
a Set clipLayer to Input2, so that the moving shot defines the resolution of the output
image.
b Set lockedPlate to Input2 as well, so that the clean plate image moves along with the
background.
c Set outputFrame to Input1, and set blendMode to none, so that the only image that
is output is the newly animated and aligned clean plate image.
The resulting output image is a transformed version of the clean plate image that
matches the position of matching overlapping features in the mountaineer image.
