| The most basic thing you should do is get both images to the same size. Precomp both, make the precomps the same size, and do what you need with distortion tools to align them to each other in the precomp. You have tools like Corner Pin, CC Power Pin (useful to unstretch perspective images), mesh warp and even Liquify to align the images so their features match. Basically I'd choose one image as the 'master', and then use the distortion tools to align the other to it. Once the two precomps are the same size and they align with each other, dissolving between them will be much easier. You could work with one layer to define your animation, then duplicate it and alt-drag the other onto it. Or you could use parenting, as Scott suggested. But basically the first thing I'd do is make both images the same size. -Chris On 25/03/2012, at 11:18 AM, mpo@michaeloreilly.com wrote: > I have two stills - one is a snapshot of a mural painted on the wall of an > apartment building 50 years ago by a famous artist. > The other still is of that same mural, now removed, conserved and > installed in a museum and professionally photographed. > > I am trying to match the two so that I may dissolve between them to show > the change that has happened. > > I can get them close but when I put them in another comp and make any kind > of change in scale or position, the close match is lost. > > I have a basic understanding of the 2.5D that is in AE, but even less of > an understanding for how cameras and lights fit in to the whole scheme of > things. > > My brain is so tired I can't even figure out the right terms to use to > search.
