Topic: Urgent question: can I mask a video into a video?
Hi,
I need to seek your advice once more, dear community. In the film I'm shooting, there's a plane with a moving airscrew/propellor to be animated. The difficult thing is: the airscrew/propellor is getting slower and slower, then stopping. Then starting again, getting slower, slower, stopping. And that is while the minifig in the cockpit moves!
So here's my question:
Is it possible to make to videos: an animation of the pilot moving in the cockpit, and a life-action one of the airscrew/propellor turning and then editing the two together in post production. I mean, like, that in the end I've got ONE video with both the airscrew/propellor turning and the animated minifig moving.
Possible? If yes, how time expensive?
Thanks in advance
EDIT: What I originally meant by "masking video" is that I wouldn't have to mask all the frames, but rather mask the video directly into the video. You know, similar to putting a video into a chroma key video.
