if the tracking doesn't work for Luxea, i dont care. (i haven't tested it yet tho) because i still got extremely useful info from this vid: hide background in ur digital drawing (if that's what ur doing) so there's the grey checkerboard behind it and save as png. that saved my entire existence.
I knew about tracking, but didn't know that png images would have a transparent background. I learned a new thing. I guess that's what these are all about, aren't they? 🙂👍
I hope you can help as i cant get a straight example or tip. I know what i need is motion tracking but ill explain what i am trying to do in my editor and wonder if there is any tip or other way to do this. I basically want to be able to put an image or even animated clip or Design into a moving video. Example- I am shooting a scene. Its blair witch style with shaky camera not many still shots. So i am running with the camera and i look back with it behind me. This is where i add in lets say an animated TREX. I want that T Rex to stay ONLY in the spot that i choose so when i turn the camera back he is gone from the shot. Its difficult to do. Even for a still image in a moving shot. If i want to put a robot standing still in the background and have the camera pan only for the robot to come into view as i pan further to its location. But of course Anything you put on screen will follow your camera movement. Its probably really easy for some but for me i cant figure it out. Every movie do this. Saving private Ryan. The whole beach was almost fake Poeple and props. But how the heck did they get the Giant Rebar Spikes to stay in one spot while the camera panned and shook and zoomed. im losing it...
Ok. Probably too long for a comment, but let me try. Let’s say I am moving the camera for left to right on a beach. I want to put a ball on the beach. So the ball will be simple keyframed, starting at the begin point, and it move to the left at the end point out of frame. If you draw the first frame with the ball, and the last frame with the ball, it make make sense which way to move the ball while editing. It can be done by hand if it’s a Simone shot like that. For more complex shots, they’ll stick something during the shot, such as a green dot on a stick where the ball would be. Now they track that and apply that track to the ball they are adding into the scene later. If no green stick, they track something in the background as best they can and use those keyframes on the ball. I think I need to make a video on this as it’s better seen than explained. 👍
I have a clip of someone riding a horse and I want to crop the video so that the camera follows them (it isn't "shaky" but it is not stable during the shot)... what is this called? do you have any advice for how to do this or where I can find a video tutorial?? thanks!!
do you know of any editing software for a chromebook that would do this? i dont want to jailbreak my computer and i need something that would pin images from my camera roll/files to something. it's so simple but ive spent days looking for some sort of free software to do this :(
Very nice :) After a person keyframes a tattoo like that, they could then go back in and use a simple elliptical mask to cover the tracked tattoo and keyframe in a quick little reveal that makes the tattoo appear to be getting inked over the course of 1-second or more. Lots of fun to be had with this kind of project. :)
@@BasicFilmmaker If someone wanted to go a little deeper into the animated inking, they could make masks based on color and layer in multiple reveals so that each color looks like it's getting inked individually, too, or make each color mask reveal at a slightly different speed to add that little bit of variation to the reveal. But those are little things we do for the learned scholars to notice 100 years from now. ;)
Thanks this was really helpful video....I honestly hope to work with you one day on a future project, I like collaborating with other creatives, anyway keep doing your thing, see you in the next video brotha
@@BasicFilmmaker anytime and I do hope we can work on a project together make an awesome video and I have some good ideas as well, but o my if you can(if not no worries) check out my channel and let me know what you think, anyway keep giving us those dope videos brotha.
Great video, great channel. Even with tracking after effects or other programs you sometimes need to go back and delete or change the automatically created keyframes, so this is VERY useful to know. To speed up the process I recommend splitting the difference between keyframes so you don't have to do every frame individually. Set keyframes for the big movements like you did in the beginning, and then scrub to where it is off the MOST and correct the keyframe there. Then check to see what it looks like. If it's still off then again scrub to where it is off by the most and correct that single spot. Generally for things with not too erratic of motion this fills in the gaps and you don't have to go frame by frame saving you a lot of time and using way fewer keyframes.

Responding to own comment to get it out of the "comments not responded to" queue. Notified TH-cam, not fixed yet. :)
I edit videos and it takes me ages to to do stuff like this. Is there a free editor than automatically motion tracks for you?
Not sure. Might check out HitFilm?
thanks a lot
You are most welcome!

Is there any simple editors to do this on the AppStore, I remember I found one but I can’t find it again
What program was used in the video?
I knew about tracking, but didn't know that png images would have a transparent background. I learned a new thing. I guess that's what these are all about, aren't they? 🙂👍
They are! Love that you learned something!
You just opened up a whole new world to me! Thank you!
Awesome!!! 👍
Premiere Pro (and you) are just amazing. Such an amazing product. Thanks for making this video. 😀
What about the object changing its size?
Super helpful! Im such a newbie that didn’t even know the difference between a jpg and a png!
Great Monique! We all start somewhere. If I knew everything, life would be boring. 😁

Sorry. Don't get the reference.

Thanks

@@BasicFilmmaker this was a great example. Thank you so much
You bet!
Is shotcut also have this?
Also i want like filmora do
Sorry. I don't know those video systems - yet.
@@BasicFilmmaker Ok but shotcut is easy i want to say that first

Maybe this will do what you're looking for? th-cam.com/video/8oPwbIMtkcI/w-d-xo.html
4:38 okay keyframes are cool but how did you zoom in on your workspace like that?
Also I love when you get into the editor for a tutorial. You're one of the best when it comes to voice over tutorials.
Thanks!. Here's a video on setting up some shortcuts for zooming in PPro like I show. th-cam.com/video/8ou2eFq_Be0/w-d-xo.html

Sorry, do not as I don’t have a chrome book. ☹️
i know you can use imovie
does this work in davinci resolve or videopad or lightworks or hitfilmx or vsdc or movavi?
Sure, if the video editor you use can set key frames on objects.

What about Movavi
Sorry. Haven't used that editor.

Ha! No kidding. I would definitely do all that if I had a reason, and would jump over to AE.

That is not a dot, it's a mole!
It's a dot mole. LOL! Funny, I never noticed I had a mole on my ankle until this video. :)

First👍
BAM! Well done!
it doesnt work in Shotcut
Shotcut is definitely a different program.
