@lexdimond1 True, it could probably be done smoother with some added effort, but we're just demonstrating the possibility.

can u do this with adobe premirere elements 8?

[videomaker]

@Samtheman316

You need After Effects or something like it to track an inserted background graphic in a pan or tilt shot (regardless of what editing program you have). The first part of this tutorial (up until 2.16) you should be able to achieve in Premiere Element. Good luck!

I know how you feel. I'm trying to make an impossibly ambitious sci-fi short on a budget that would barely cover the cost of sandwiches from Tesco.....

I used the ''.psd'' (castle modified in photoshop) file and linked it to my null object, but the .psd image is not a smooth render like yours, it is shaky. Can you help me? i want is to be fix to the back ground, now it move and it isn't realistic at all.

I have 2 nul objets linked, the one linked on the second and the .psd linked to the first.

@ClintWRea Wow...at least he took the time and energy to give a free tutorial on how to do this all. More commendable and appreciated than your snarky critique, don't you think?

the shake isn't realistic

Urmm iin the first bit of the "Lord of the Rings" example with the 3 horses. That is a REAL location/set. So look it up! ;)
