After Effects Motion Tracking

[CodyRicheson]

"A" for effort, but it sure is awkward.

Respond to this video...

[Djplaypolly]

It would have helped if you would have stabilized it first.



[venomrx666]

yeah, reduced the opacity, maybe 50 to 60 % for good result on your eyeglass...but nice idea to do this type fun vid...thumbs up...=)

[venomrx666]

hahahhaa nice one bro, i know how to do that using motion tracking..i try it laler if i have a time

stupid and gay.

[theAlijan]

the blacks are way too dark. you need to match it to your plate

[Iamcartmanxd]

I think if you lowered the contrast on the reflection or the opacity, it would've looked much better.

[Zeetoofilms]

i have cs3. does it do that also? please check out my vids too!

[DTxOctavariumx]

@Zeetoofilms Yeah it does

[draugfriend]

OMG mancat! :D LOL

[allgoodusrnamsrtaken]

WTF HAHA

[TheSashagibbins]

Bit of an overkill...but very good nonetheless...

[RussianCommie666]

[legolas27272727]

this is rly good but if u can next time u try it try and clean it up a bit so it looks more real if u know what i mean but rly good job

[davibreu]

interesting but not so real... but cool great job

[Borzekes]

looks like a cat, dude.. seriously.. apply some contrast

[CriticShrute]

What is Motion Tracking???

This is the third video that said motion tracking but it looks like any normal video.

Is it the reflection of the glasses?

[chaldimar]

shouldn't the camera be in the man's glasses?

so yess.

[CriticShrute]

Thanks for the reply!

[chaldimar]

np, google around what real motion tracking is. if you can master it, you can do real neat tricks. ;)

[BobTubeStudios]

Motion tracking is when After Effects samples an amount of pixels, and tracks them throughout the video. The result is a realistic compositing. The sunglasses in this video aren't even real.

[CriticShrute]

"The sunglasses in this video aren't even real. "

That is truly amazing, thanks for pointing that out!

[nemtucdumitru]

@CriticShrute nah search after effects motion traking tutorial you'll understand

[ribenawrath]

your colour correction is off here.

There is some deep blacks in your girl footage, but none on the plate shot.

Also, the comped shot would take on the colour of the plate a little. And you need a little distortion in there for the glasses...looks surreal. Makes him look slightly bog eyed.

great but imperfect track :)

[zheffner666]

good job and amazing song

[aonjakka]

Cat eye

[CineSwill]

yeh.. a beatles song... my favourite

[AlTyler138]

looks good but you should of make it darker so it didnt stick out so much, other then that nice

[brt5470]

I wouldn't expect it to be easy when the camera was mounted on a chainsaw.

Incredibly shaky.

[amerv2]

since the camera was moving, it would have been easier/better to either have put some trackers on the glasses and used mocha or a 3d motion tracker for the glasses. Just a hint.

[XxH4VOCKxX]

you should definately decreased the opacity on the reflection of the glasses. It just makes u look like u have cat eyes.

[kuscheti1]

yea. mostly when he zoomed out at the end

[ribenawrath]

increased the opacity!?

Nah he should've used a blend mode, and then colour corrected the footage.

Your plate shot doesn't have any true black on it, you may have noticed.

[omgfocker]

before i read the description i thought the glasses were real, and i was confused on what you actually edited in haha

[harrynicholas]

shame you didn't think of reflecting her in the glasses in the first place - unless you couldn't get the girl to agre to be in the video with you.

[OGMO11]

or... you would see the person who's filming instead of the girl

[harrynicholas]

I know, take a look at my stuff and you'll realise i was being sarcastic

[AdamRock911]

you need to learn to use tripods etc

[TheAmigops]

i have something in my pocket... i hope its a kit kat!

[Project52z]

Cool vid! The place seems nice too :P

[dardraa]

how do i zoom in and out normaly in my vid? like in windows movie maker? i dont want motion tracking

[Project52z]

Use a camera OR camstasia studio

[dardraa]

ok ty

[sonicballer8888]

movie maker is gay. lol

[dardraa]

sure is thats why i use sony vegas 9.0

[sonicballer8888]

cool. i use vegas pro 8.

[sensor1jo]

i have sony vegas 8 pro and adobe after effects cs3 professional

[luyt4her]

its no fucking sony vegas its adobe

[BassOverload]

does after effects 7.0 have motion tracking cause i cant find it in the window

[Caseyc135]

you need 7.0 professional to do motion tracking - check to see which version you have

[BassOverload]

it ok mate i had 7.0, then got cs3 but its crap cause audio is out of sync when you save it. so i got 7.0 pro

[nuclearspike]

One problem with the tracking is that when he turns his head, she stays on his glasses in the same place (in the middle). She would need to reflect from the edges, else it indicates that she suddenly moved over by 10 ft in exact timing with his head movement, then back. It's tracking more like he has TV screens on his glasses rather than being reflections. Use the reflection of the camera in the lens (not the edges of the glasses) as guidance for where to have the woman positioned.

[chriswatts86]

i would agree, it would make sense to track a mask to the glasses with the "reflection" then revealed by this mask so the glass would reveal different sections of the reflections at the right time, i hope this makes sense.

[3ricthemaster]

lighting the reflection mann lol

[surfaceradio]

ide make her dissapear a little slower but otherwise 4/5

[pegbars]

Woah, what the heck happened there? :c/

[pegbars]

Yes, good work.  Just haze it up and add a touch of gaussian blur to the reflection.

Next time, you might want to place a couple of targets directly on the glasses when you shoot it. That'd make it a whole lot easier. ;)

[chowbelly]

good feel to it though. good music, emotion. good little film .

[PYROSF]

it looks kinda unrealistic

[Helloman56]

What the hell is this about?

[sjoerdbeukers]

it's in his glasses

[jimp1102]

I agree- The tracking is good. But the reflection is too crisp-Doesn't fit into the background plate at all- blur it, hue/saturation, level, curves- give em a try and it should all look like one plate.

[nenepedo]

the tracking is very fine! the only thing you have to do to make it perfect is to put some blur on the reflected image so it looks at the same as the background footage, that actually is a bit out of focus

[basslinegenerator]

way to dark ... always use the "black" and the "shadow black" from original footage

[newton2013]

her silluette is too dark in the glasses. thats whats slightly off. her silluette is darker than the dark of the org shot. could be good as an directors effect to stick the minds eye to the image. makes it subtley-surreal.

[UntouchedInsanity]

Good job, but something doesn't look quite right. Like others have said, perhaps lowering the opacity would help out.

[Gunit2007123]

wow bit cool if anyone knows about face tracking then help me out

[scoripion]

cool video but it looks like it needs to be more transparent

[JamesIsraelson]

haha he does look like cat.

[yummip]

lol first reaction is aaw =], whoever said this is crap is so so wrong

[Piercebronsan12]

Nice!!!

[Doddsy]

good try m8!:) feel free to pull down my attempt lol, i need the comments good and bad

[madlamin1111]

this sucks!! wat the heck is the point in watchin this crpa?!!?

[BudDyLeEisInMe]

The trackng is good... but maybe a Filter and Lower down the opacity would've made it look 10x better.. The opacity is too strong.. and it makes him look like he got a video playing in front of his shades!

[Slayer100]

mmm, it was good but you need to put the opacity down on the reflections, but good job

[darthxaddum]

It makes him look like a cat!

[Caseyc135]

it's a song by The Beatles entitled "You've got to hide your love away"

[laurie16]
