[JWgameplays]

here's why:

1. you have balls.

2. you don't talk freakin fast.

3. you don't have an accent.

4. you where explaining it clearly.

[dude24610]

@iGeekProductions Like I said before I was younger back then and I was like 15 when I made this video. I am 18 and much more mature and know a lot more information. Also what was the point in your comment, a spelling lesson? I wasn't aware you could spell a letter wrong, unless you meant capitalize it. If you are just going to hate, leave.

[iGeekProductions]

@dude24610 - 'i' isn't a word, while 'I' is. Seeming as I suppose you meant 'I', you did spell it wrong. Also, how did you not know the difference between 'were' and 'where' at fifteen...?

[dude24610]

@iGeekProductions I actually did know the difference, but this was like my tenth take and so spelling wasn't on my list of priorities and my head was little foggy. Why does one letter bother you so much? Grammar nazi attitude isn't appreciated.

[iGeekProductions]

@dude24610 - Because knowing how to spell makes your videos look credible. Also, the difference between 'Where' and 'Were' is not a "foggy" head mistake - it's something my seven year old sister knows the difference between.

I was actually going to credit the tutorial for at least giving the basic concept, but with your attitude to basic criticism (which, despite it sounding like a "grammar nazi", wasn't intended negatively), I actually take back my potentially positive feedback.

[FrostyChrome]

tell me why is my after effects analyzing so slow and I'll subscribe :D:D

[JPJOSHUAPERRETT]

the sound is so bad

[ThaaatsEnough]

Mine stays a white box and doesnt lock on.its like it was water on the lense

[TheMTADrifter]

Please make a video how to make your video Hd on adobe after effect!

[Axtronic]

your dog wants your ass!

[RiverIsAwesome]

thank you very much this is a nice tutorial

[NathanOliverFilms]

Thanks man! i just got after effects and i was all like, WHAAT??? lol...

going from Sony vegas to this, it can be very confusing! thanks again!

[UpstateVideos]

footage glitching? i hope you mean gpu lagging. good tutorial.

[apsten1]

NICE TUT!!

[dude24610]

@billmacp Well as it seems i have way more positive reviews than negative, and actually Andrew Kramer, one of the best after effects users ever, did a tutorial like this. So I definitely see a flaw in your opinion, but it is YOUR opinion. The tutorial may suck, but its the application of the technique that is good, so you have to be creative to use this. I'm not saying do what i do, But to take how i do it and use it for something cooler. I did make this 4 years ago, so i was kind of annoying.

[arobson131]

@dude24610 Dont worry man, Theres always one prick who has to say somthing like that, good job on trying :)

[hagen552]

Would you be able to do this with sony vegas?

[Smeezable]

WOOF

[yakacm]

is your mate scene or non scene?

[karlbaker03]

Thanks Man

[doublesob]

you're awesome

[stcyrnic]

@ 2:53 TITS

[DuckHouseProductions]

it's glitching bcos you chose a bad spot to track ... probably

[FelicianoTvX]

Thumbs Up, if u think he walks and stands like a cowboy :D

[SeACt2]

@FelicianoTvX fail

[petenicezz]

i want to know, i have a video that is 3 minutes long long i only want to track only a minute of it so after i track that minute how do i get back the play the full 3 minute video with the track i created.

thanks.

[levski221]

[haveatasteofthis]

Can this be done in Vegas Pro 9?

[Mrcoolagainbuzy]

how to rename any layer ??

[kurtinge]

spitt out ur gum:p

[MuncieProductions]

Thank you very much for doing this tutorial, I have been wondering how to do this for a long time!

[PetrovichStefan]

Can I make a loop of the motion tracking, so that it repeats itself when the video goes on?

[dude24610]

@doguztv Can you type properly before commenting on a video? Also, I made this a while back and i wasn't as smart back then. Also what were you doing just searching for tutorials to post a negative comments on peoples videos?

[godzilla1878]

lol you said that was your friend walking,but 7 :11 min in your clip you said it was you.now give me a free software lmao pahahaha

[wtalkie]

[goaltie]

im new in AE is this something handy if you wat to do those laser things, light swirls etc.? thx! sorry for my bad english, fave and thumbs up =D

[xXBboyiceXx]

Can we directly just track a Text without a solid?

[dude24610]

@xXBboyiceXx Yes just attach the null to the text instead of the white box.

[Kolin314]

@xXBboyiceXx Thanks Dude Your a cool teacher!

[ThePHATJOHN]

[dude24610]

@ThePHATJOHN lolwat, you posted the comment.

[ThePHATJOHN]

ur tutorial sucked soo much asss !!!!! dude ur not gonna make it any where in the world

[WITCHchannel]

how do you make an effect from the effects tab track your hand? like the Light Rays effect??

[wasssabio]

wheres the tracking menu? i cant find it :/

[jibberishballr]

im at the part where you make the box....from the white screen but how do you get it to be just the box? I made an object with the pen tool but now its a yellow box on the white screen. How did you make the rest of the white and only the box stay there? You did this at 6:27

[nothingclosetoemo]

1 day before 420....

[AaronMarkus86]

Know how to make words within the video come off the object they are on from a video clip?

[M1CH43LC]

Can you do perspective motion tracking? I.e. could you put two (or more) tracking points in and assign each one to a specific vertix of a shape? Although the example in this video is useful, you are limited to 2D motion and cannot rotate, tilt, etc.

[TaiRuiaznkid]

i am guessin the white box was sorta pointless XD well like it might confuse ppl XD =O

[Smoothieman7]

this tutorial sucks! u never said how to attach a fucking object to the tracker!

[dude24610]

@Smoothieman7 Actually I did, You choose the target as the null object... Or if you are talking about the parenting thing you just use the pick whip. Swearing is not needed.

[RimoMehelba]

alot of unneeded steps and time wasting, but anyways thanks for the vid xD

[asterix645]

LOL at the barking dog

[faxmachineanthem]

bad tutorial

[SkyshooterMatty]

lol, your class

[chris19915]

you had a bit of a testi at 00:55 when you said basically but very good vid man it was alot of help thnx

[Djghost1123]

i realized u did a few uneeded steps, btw always change your workspace to motion tracking

[dude24610]

@Djghost1123 Yea i was kind of nooby back then lol.

[BrendonR1]

@dude24610 back then? that was a year ago

[johnie1992]

@dude24610 A girl called dude2610?? weird!!

[vissionful]

nice.....tutorial....it really help me.

[FILMMAKERCHAP]

this is an excellent intro well done..I have to revisit this again lol as Im not that bright but it helps a LOT

[dsnchalas]

its kool bt i wana see how u use motion tracking with amvs/anime

[lallenboballen]

How did you get your timeline to 20 seconds? My AE only goes to 10 and it's really frustrating editing 10 seconds at a time.

[dude24610]

I do that at the beginning of the video, see how it says duration? Replace that with what ever time you want, and if you want a minute replace the 20 with 00 and move over one so it would look like this. 0:01:00:00 or for 30 seconds 0:00:30:00.

[drifta321]

@dude24610 i really need to know how to make the clip compsize ?? my clip is always too big help ;S

[dfhohj]

Go to composition settings.

[grayblacknblue]

you go to composition, composition settings, and at the bottom set how long you would like your timeline to be.

[Repteptilion]

change it when u make a new compsition

[jasaguayo]

THANKS DUDE!

I just got AE and its starting to make sense!

[johnkidd3]

Thanks "dude" lol. I just got AE and it's confusing compared to Ps, this was really helpful!

[dude24610]

Welcome john, actually its quite the opposite for me, I'm trying to use Photoshop, maybe you could post some tutorials or give me some help. lol

[ofuhunter]

muaaaa Im pretty new on after effects , but I know for sure I do know 3 times more than you do. Sorry mate but learn propperly before doing a tutorial, your video is a ........, well you know what I mean

[dude24610]

Why do you say that? I made this tutorial in april. I have study after effects a good amount of time in between that. I mean when i made this i only knew about a quarter of the things i knew now. Also what does that have to do with anything, its a basic tutorial and yes i did get mixed up with some simple things but like i said this was 6 months ago. Also you can't say you know for sure on a assumption, that's just rude.

[ofuhunter]

didnt mean to offend you, but if a Noob comes to learn as we look for free tutorials, it will get more confuse than before. Also no disrespect, but your tecnic is wrong as you can see your motion tracking is pretty lame, I mean in this video. but Im sure you will get better

[dude24610]

Thats another point im trying to make I AM BETTER! Lol than was as shown in this video. Half of a year ago is a good enough time to learn some new things. I have been busy though since i just moved from Maryland to Washington state to live with my dad, so i haven't put up any videos yet, Haven't gotten around to editing them.

[HakerzTM]

kool, but how would i make a video appear on a phone and move with the phone like they on phone commercials when they show iphone or something

[ShallaMalla031]

How do you move the little frame thing without your mouse?

[dude24610]

Hmm? What are you talking about? Like at what point in the video?

[ShallaMalla031]

At 5:00! You were going frame by frame and you weren't moving it with your mouse. How?

[dude24610]

Ohh just use page up and page down keys on the keyboard. Page down moves forward a frame and page down moves it back a frame.

[ShallaMalla031]

THANKS! Wanna be friends?

[PownagePlay]

lol your voice is cracking lol ha ha, good job ;)

[dude24610]

lol when i did this tutorial yea it was, but also i went to a baseball game prior, so it was a little hoarse from that too. Thanks for watching.

[shutupyourfaceman]

instead of putting the text box to follow the person how do i put a pic instead

[dude24610]

Well you'd size the picture down into the correct size and parent it to the null object instead of parenting a text box to the null object.

[shutupyourfaceman]

thanks , i know what to do now and since i just got after effects a few days ago is it normal for the video that you just imported and then played to be really laggy . Because when i play it the green line loads like 5 seconds then it laggs heaps and stops

[death2allproduction]

lol i new this already but still a nice refresher

[bir458lll]

Thanks man :)

[DanMa3x]

thanks!

[Ett4Studios]

talking about outside but sure if you can tell me both would be nice...

[dude24610]

Look at my video camera review thats the camera I use outside, for desktop recording i use Camtasia.

[waynewayneproduction]

in camtasia, how do you make it not auto zoom inb?

[dude24610]

Dont apply SmartFocus, thats what the auto zoom thing is, so dont apply smart focus.

[Ett4Studios]

what type of camera do u use?

[dude24610]

For outside? or for recording desktop things?

[monkeyman913462]

ok tut....... but.. "were am i?" WHERE

[dude24610]

Um, im sorry, Dont understand what you mean.

[monkeyman913462]

u spelt "where" wrong.. lol

[dude24610]

Ah lol, i did like 7 tutorials and they all had problems so i guess i just got lazy haha.

[monkeyman913462]

lol..... ok then
