 Hello, everyone, welcome back to another Adobe Premiere Pro tutorial. In this one, guys, I'm rocking Adobe Premiere Pro CC 2019. I'm gonna show you how to use motion tracking inside Premiere Pro. This is not going to be a perfect track, and we're doing this deliberately because I just wanna show you the different options, and a perfect track doesn't really do that. So let's just get right in and rock and roll. Now, the first thing I've got a picture here, or a video, pardon me, of a ball, and it's just sort of laying on the grass, but there's some movement in it, and it's quite deliberate that we've chosen this piece. Also, it's available free to download on PecCells. I'll put the link in the description. It's free, so if you decide you wanna try along with me, all good. So you'll see here I've dragged and dropped it into the old panel, and we've got it in the program panel here. The timeline, the head, pardon me, is at the beginning, so let's just go ahead, switch this out to 100%. I'm just gonna hit space bar, and you'll see the video quickly here. We don't even need audio, do we? I'll turn the audio off. It's nothing. Oops, hit the wrong button, never mind. So anyways, guys, as you can see here, it's just a video of a ball with some motions, quite deliberate. So let's just go ahead and get rolling. Now, when I left click on the video, you'll see at the top left or the top right here, under the effect control panels, and for some of you that might be down here, depending on how you've got yours set up, I am currently in the 2019 default workspace editing. So some of you guys might be in effects, or who the hell knows what, but if you're following along, that's where I am. Let's roll. The first step here is you wanna make sure you are clicked on the video. As you'll see here, it is selected. Now I'm going to go to my effect control panels, and in a very, I'd say in a little bit of a strange place, I'm gonna go ahead and click the pen tool. It's under opacity. This allows us to draw a mask. So I'm gonna do this very, very quickly, because I don't wanna make this a really long video. So I'm gonna left click on it, and then bang, I'm gonna click the top of the ball. I'm gonna click the side of the ball. I'm gonna drag it, make it nice and sorta roundish. It is not gonna be perfect. I admit this, and then I'm gonna click here. Ay-ya-ya-ya-oh, control Zed that. I'm gonna click here, pardon me. And let's see, what do you think? Do-do-do. I'm gonna go this way with it. Okay, again, not perfect. I am sorry, I'm gonna go to the side here, and of course it's doing the stupid thing, but whatever, this is how it is, and I'm gonna click there, and then I'm gonna close it, and I'm gonna try and wobble it. I don't know, let's see. Let's see, I gotta do this quickly here, because I don't wanna make it too big of a mess. You know what, I'm just gonna zip that, and then I'm gonna close this one down like this, and on this one, I'm gonna, yeah, I don't know. Let's go ahead and zoom it in a bit. Yeah, this isn't going as good as I'd like, but whatever, we'll get there, right? Okay, we'll handle that handle in a bit, and we're gonna move that handle a bit, and okay, we're getting close to a ball. Again, this is not a perfect mask, this is not what we're trying to do. Now we can look on it here. I'm gonna click on opacity, and then I'll click the FX off, on. So it's pretty close, but it is not perfect, like I said. It's a little bit finicky inside Premiere Pro, all good. Now the next step, and this is what you came for, is how do you track it? Really, really simple, guys. Under mask, you're gonna see this playhead. I'm gonna go ahead and click left click on this, and it says track selected mask forward. Now, you'll see here, it's making progress. It is now tracking it inside Premiere Pro. Traditionally, people would go to After Effects to do this kind of thing, and you might still want to, because you get a little bit better control, and a few more options. But again, guys, if you're in a hurry, you wanna roll this out. Here's how you do it. You left click on that, rock and roll, and in a second, it'll be ready. Bling, it's done. Again, it's not perfect. I'm gonna go to the beginning where it is good, and then I'm gonna hit the left space bar, and again, watch. So the mask is moving with, but it's not moving perfectly because the size of the ball changes, because the distance from the camera changes. So, again, if you guys are pros, and you wanna go in and really get this right, you could go to somewhere like here, and then you could add, I don't know, you go back to the thing here, and you could like move this in a bit, and maybe move that in a bit, and then maybe add a frame here, or add a key here, and a little tool, dotty, dotty, dotty here, and then you could see, and then move forward a little bit, and then again, you guys can move it in, adjust the handles as you see fit. That's not really the focus of this video, if I'm being blunt, that wasn't right. But again, guys, you see the point, you can just do these types of things, move it in, move this one in, make a mess, so pardon me, move this one in, et cetera, et cetera, but guys, the point is, to track it, that's all you need to do. The other thing I do need you to know is there are different tracking methods. So I currently have the default, which is position, scale, and rotation, but a lot of people, you just want position, right, because it doesn't change in size, or it doesn't rotate, for example, the screen doesn't move much, it's fixed on a tripod. So you have these different options. If I just wanted position, I could go ahead and start at the beginning again, and then I would hit track, selected, mask forward, and it would track simply for position, guys. Again, this is really, really Mickey Mouse, it's fast, it's furious. I did it quickly just to show you the technique, guys. I hope you enjoyed this tutorial. If you have anything that you wanna learn or you have any questions, of course leave me a message. I'll make that video for you. Thanks for watching.
