Video overlay for sports

jay-aero wrote on 1/26/2022, 7:24 AM

I am trying to completely overlay 2 video's of the exact same scene.. It for a sporting event when 2 people are using the exact same course..and I need to compare runs along the whole course. I can do picture in picture for side by side.. But I would really like to overlay them full screen

They are all shot in 4k @ 120 FPS with one camera

Put them on separate tracks, align the start, and set the upper track opacity to 50%.

Lots of resources for learning here:

I really appreciate the reply.. but I Really need both video's at the same opacity.. But that is exactly what I am trying to do...Someone suggested "Darkhorse" but I can't find any listing

@jay-aero Hi, If you overlay one video over the other at full opacity you're not going to be able to see the one underneath without altering the opacity, compositing mode or masking the top track, can you upload a screenshot of the video/s, full screen's better so the timeline is visible

Respectfully sir, if you set the top overlay track at 50% opacity and the bottom at 100%, both tracks will display at exactly 50% opacity. You can easily demonstrate this for yourself; it is simple math. Welcome to the forums, @jay-aero

You can find links to lots of good tutorials here.

My apologies if this is a complete distraction, but...

This might be a situation where 3D visualization would be useful. If you create a 3D stereo pair from the two videos you could easily see the differences. If you have trouble seeing 3D, you could display it as an anaglyph or difference modes.
