Combining video with a Static Background?

[Anonymous]

Hello all! I’m very new to the whole video editing thing. I have adobe premiere pro and after affects CS3. I’m looking to shoot a film with a static background, with many different takes. I want to combine all these takes together into one clip. Is this possible? Sorry if this has been asked before as any searches I’ve done about combining video clips has come up dry.

difference matte “after effects”

Essentially what you do is get your scene captured, then you introduce people and subtract the ‘difference.’ I found it VERY hard to do without ending up with artifacts all over the place. However, evidently it can be done.
