Tracking basketball players on the court
Hi everyone,
If you have ever seen a segment of ESPN, I am pretty sure you have seen the new SCOPE technology that sportscenter uses to highlight certain plays. I am impressed by the way they add a 3-d looking circle or matte underneath the key players like ones you would see in a video game. How do they do this? Do they just use a track matte in after effects? |

Occasionally. I'm sure I've seen SCOPE but didn't know it's name. Do you have a link to a video?

Re: Tracking basketball players on the court
Its definitely not a live telecast. Its sportscenter... on tv everynight on ESPN. I couldnt find any videos online and I dont have a capture card to record it. They use the scope technology when they break down individual plays/highlights. It looks pretty cool!

Re: Tracking basketball players on the court
I've seen that and figured they export the still frame - it's always a freeze frame.
Then in Photoshop, i figure they select the player and export a png. Three layers in the timeline, done. Photoshop is much quicker at making a selection (for me). Does CS6 have a Quick Selection tool in AE or PP now? I'm more impressed with the 3D rotation i've seen . . . same still frame and they rotate the view to the other side of the court. As if they grab a still frame from a series of other cameras to traverse from one view of the court to the other. |

Re: Tracking basketball players on the court
Actually, it might be some kind of software specialized for broadcast graphics, not attainable for mere mortals :)
