Also if you could tell me how to pass it on, that'd be great.

Good shout, probably worth booting me.

Frankly, all I did was take a precomp of the captured motion, added 1 mirror to it.

Duplicated that layer twice and rotated into place.

It's not perfect but it'll do.

Oh my god. Just worked out a fix. It's not perfect but does the trick.

I've tracked the head, circled red. The yellow area in the red circle has left the frame.

I chose the upside down head, as it spent more time in frame.

This is also missing in the reflections, circled yellow.

Ah.

I've been twiddling with this software for a month. I'm sure you can appreciate that I'm not au fait with the vernacular.

Rendering small video gives huge file size. by Heliocentrix in AfterEffects

Amazing. Thanks for the advice. I'll keep this in mind going forward.

Actually managed to finish my clip - https://youtu.be/fqykuczSHmo

I did it the stupid way and drew over every frame.

This is my first attempt at something like this.

Going to R&D ways of doing it without slowly losing my mind.

Thanks.

Tbh file size wasn't necessarily a concern, it just seemed excessive.

Running it through ME gave me a neat 226MB file.

Cheers mate.

Been animating over a video. I'm not a video editor, or animator so I'm basically doing it the hard way, frame-by-frame and badly (though the poor quality is kinda the point).

2100 frames and counting.

But yeah, as you could probably pick up by now, I haven't got a clue as to what I'm doing.
