On this lesson you are going to learn to do some primary movement monitoring so as to add textual content to a shot. To comply with together with this lesson, be sure to open up the movement monitoring.aep file which you’ll be able to obtain right here.
You are additionally going to wish the video file beneath, which you’ll be able to obtain from Envato Components:
Double-click the footage within the Undertaking panel to open up this footage within the footage viewer. The footage viewer could be a great tool to have the ability to set the out and in factors in your footage earlier than you utilize them or earlier than you add them to a composition.
This shot is 26 seconds lengthy, and we do not actually need to movement monitor your complete factor. So let’s go to about 5 seconds within the footage and click on on the Set IN level to present time button.
Then go to round 12 seconds and click on on the Set OUT level to present time button.
Then I’ll take my footage within the Undertaking panel and drag it down onto the Create New Composition button. This may create a brand new composition with the identical title because the footage.
You may then rename it within the Undertaking panel by deciding on it and hitting Enter on the keyboard. Let’s rename it “Movement Monitor”.
Go into the Composition Settings (Management-Ok) and alter the Begin Timecode to 0 in order that it does not begin on the 5-second mark.
Find out how to Movement Monitor the Footage
Now let’s discuss movement monitor this footage. Specifically, I need to connect some textual content to the camper van.
To try this, I’ll choose my footage, after which I’ll go to the Tracker panel (Window > Tracker). Click on on the Monitor Movement button.
This may open the Layer Viewer panel.
If it appears pixelated, simply return to the unique composition preview panel on the left, and alter the decision to 100% or full. This may change the decision on the Layer Viewer panel as effectively.
After I hit that Monitor Movement button, I get a monitor level.
There are a number of completely different choices right here within the Tracker panel that we will use. We will monitor place, rotation, scale, or any mixture of the three.
And there are a number of various kinds of monitor. You are able to do a stabilize, remodel, parallel nook pin, and extra.
However for now, we’re simply going to do one thing quite simple. We’ll use one tracker, and we’re going to monitor the place.
Transfer the monitor level by clicking and dragging on the interior field, and transfer it to someplace that has a very nice characteristic to trace. Now, a great characteristic is one thing very distinctive within the layer that doesn’t change over time.
Principally, consider After Results wanting on the footage, and it wants to have the ability to see no matter this little element is all through the whole thing of the portion of the clip that you just need to monitor.
Go to the start of the composition, the place we are going to begin to regulate some issues.
This interior field is named the characteristic area. No matter is on this field is what After Results goes to be on the lookout for, and we would like this to be a particular characteristic. For this instance, we’re going to choose this window, which is excessive distinction and distinctive in order that After Results can recognise it.
This center level is the connect level, so that is the place the monitor is definitely going to be mapped to.
This outer field is the search area. So After Results goes to be on the lookout for the ingredient or characteristic inside this outer field. Relying on how briskly your characteristic strikes inside your footage, chances are you’ll want to regulate this search field.
So if you happen to’ve acquired one thing that is transferring actually quick, you could make this larger.
If in case you have one thing that is transferring fairly slowly, you can also make this smaller.
For this instance, we’ll preserve it good and small because the window is not transferring too shortly.
Go over to the Tracker panel and hit the Analyze Ahead button.
Now zoom out so you may see extra of your composition and monitor what is going on on with this monitor. As After Results analyzes the footage, I simply need to guarantee that it appears roughly locked to the item that I am making an attempt to trace.
If it loses the item, simply improve the window in order that After Results can discover it once more, and proceed to research from there.
Congratulations
Congratulations! That is how you should use After Results for primary movement monitoring. Keep tuned for the following tutorial, the place we are going to learn to add textual content. Now that you’ve got realized the fundamentals, take a look at a number of the different tutorials we’ve on Adobe After Results beneath.
I hope you’ve got discovered this tutorial helpful, and I am going to see you subsequent time on Envato Tuts+!
