Hi Dave,
And Welcome. Since you are a "newbie" to the list there is one unforgiveable faux paux - DO NOT UNSUBSCRIBE TO THE LIST! ;-)
Just remember when you go on vacation or need a break from 50 messages a day - to unsubscribe to softimage(at)majordomo.com
Otherwise you will incur quite a bit of heckling. Other than that there are no dumb questions - just crazy editors.

Hi Dave, and welcome to the best list on the Net.
It sounds like you picked a great solution to your tracking shot. And the good thing is, there’s oftentimes no single “correct” way of doing things in DS, so - while someone else may have done it differently - as long as you didn’t waste a lot of time and the effect looked right, you can consider your method “good.”
Have fun learning DS. Come back often with questions (there is no “stupid” question) or comments.

I'm an Avid offline/ online editor based in Cardiff, and am now working on DS, too.
I'm pretty much a beginner and had the DS mailing list recommended to me, so thought I'd sign up and say hello!
I've encountered a few obstacles already and have got by with "Jovers" - its good to know they are an intrinsic part of DS operation.
Recently, I had some footage that was tracked onto a tv screen in a panning shot. The tracking part was fairly straight forward, but I had a few problems with masking the corners image so it sits within the curved tv screen convincingly. In the end, I put the panning shot on V2, cut a hole in it where the screen was in graphics mode, and tracked the cutout to the same image, with the footage for the screen itself on V1 showing through.
My questions is, is there a better method for achieving this effect?
Cheers
Dave
