I'm currently editing a music video and am trying to mask out a background window. I've worked with AE before but am no an expert by any means.
Basically, the camera doesn't move at all during the shot and the only area I am concerned about is where the artists shoulder crosess over the area in point. I've tried tracking but had little success. I was hoping you guys could give me some tips and pointers to make it as smooth and seemless as possible. Here's what I've been doing so far with sub-par results. Mask out the window and put points where his shoulder meets the window frame and where his arm meets the couch. I have about 3-5 points in between.
At first, I was almost trying to do each frame but that was obviously taking too long, so I started doing every 5th frame.
Small example of my results:

I'm wondering:
Should I be using "Rove Across Time" ?
Should I have more points?
Feather the mask? How much?
Am I doing this completely wrong? lol
Any tips and advice is greatly appreciated.
