After Effects: Using the motion tracker

Someone recently made a post on the creativecow.net After Effects Basics forum asking how to make one layer, such as a title, look like it was stuck to another layer. One way of doing this is using AE's motion tracking feature.

If I had a dollar for every pixel this video had, I'd have one dollar.

@RayThreeFifty I posted it THREE years ago! Every three year old video on YT is lame.

is it when you export it or something the null red thing goes away or does it stay

if so how can you et rid of and have my object still tracked

[simonsaysfx]

@TheMosquito101 Yes, all those lines are just for reference and won't be rendered. If they are distracting while you work, you can toggle them off and on using Ctrl+Shift+H

@RayThreeFifty No you'd have more than 240 dollars. You'd have $1,354,752,000. (240 x 480 x 11760 frames)
