TTHHAANNKK YYOOUU!!
you are awesome
thank you so much!!
great
TNX!!
cool
tnx
nice one. Only thing i would add is to try and match lighting more with the shot you want to composite it with.
Hi! Thanks for the Feedback. But indeed if you look at the original reference the lights on him look a bit like studio (#fake??) so I wanted to improve that by keeping it diffuse. Next time I will shoot outdoors!! Thanks man!!
flomotion you do this in studio, no need to go outside. What makes it a bit fake is mainly your right side of your head (camera left). The sun is on that side and should also be in your lighting.
Hey there, great tutorial. I have a question. Do you have any good tutorials on face replacement with something a little harder....like captain america with the mask on? Im not sure how to mask and track only the eyes, and then the bottom part of the face
hey, you could watch out for my lockdown tutorial, that is also a great method!!
Hi there, thanks for the tutorial. I'm pretty new to the VFX game and unfamiliar with Mocha, so I'm wondering out of curiosity, is it not possible to achieve the same thing using After Effects' built-in motion tracking? Cheers!
Hey, I ll try to give you a short answer here: After Effects is only tracking points. so one point if you only want to have the position of a subject, 2 points if you want to also have rotation and scaling. Mocha does more, it is not tracking a single point, but a surface that you define, therefore it is at first more precise and you also have the ability to get skew and perspective data out of the track! I have done a few mocha tracking tutorials on my channel and I am currently creating new updated ones, as the workflow gets better and therefore updated on a regular bases.
Thank you so much, this is one of the best tutorials I’ve ever seen! I’m so grateful for your priceless time and expertise.
I have one question, once I’ve done everything and apply the tracking data from the original footage to the replacement head, why is the replacement head changing position? So I adjust the head to sit perfectly on the other head, when I apply the data. The overlay head moves its position so it’s no longer in place with the other head. I appreciate any suggestions you could give.
The answer is: you need to precomp the head before applying the data!! And thanks for the nice comment!! You could also create a null object connect rhe tracking data to that and then reposition everything afterwards...
@@flo.motion thank you so much!! That’s extremely helpful!
Did this work still having issues@@HarrisonKillianAnimation
Awesome tutorial! Thank you soo much! just one question, what's the name of the intro and outro song? I think I have heard it before and I love it!
Hey, the name of the song is "Hush" by the awesome band "The Nitehawks"
@@flo.motion Thank you for your response, but I didn't find any song or band with that name. nonetheless thank you soo much for the tutorials, keep it up man!
que bien
Merci!!
I'm just trying this
Did it work??
Ha . . Very coool :)
Thanks George
Hi and thank you for this video. Can you make a video where you explain how to change only the hair from a head to another? Thank you! Something like from Giuseppe Conte italian prime minister to jean claud van damme ...thanks!
Hey Raffalo, that should work in the exact same way! Just make sure to have a realy solid greenscreen as hair can be very tricky... 😉
Hey bro! I'm getting a green screen soon. 3x3 meters at least, for some full body things. I'm starting with this, so excuse my ignorance. Is it better to have a little darker kind of green, or the super bright green ones? I'm also getting enough lights to illuminate the foreground and the background indepedently :)
Hey, OK, so here is the thing with greenscreen and the exact color. You have to keep in mind that the settings in your camera define "how bright" or "how dark" the green is! not what you see with your eyes. take an average green-color and I promise you, you will be happy with it!
hello, just out of curiosity with a video not proposing the same movement of the head, face.. You can make sure that on the video or you want to replace the head even if the video is not in connection with the official, that the head replace + face follow the movements correctly or it only works on the facial expression?
Not 100% sure if I got you right, but is should totally be doable not only on the face. Do you have an example video? Because it will really depend on the footage!
Great tutorial, thanks! Would this workflow work with a more complicated head movement? For example somebody looking around as he talks, and not facing the camera straight on?
Hey! That really depends on how fare you are turning the head! Either you would need to have a proper 3D Model or you could try to time your movement to the one you want to track.
Subscribed ^_^
Thanks soooo much!!
What would be the best way to change the color of the arms? I tried to rotoscope them with mocha and lighten the color a bit, however , the edges were too hard and feathering it slightly made it look unnatural.
you could try lumetri colors, as you have a tool there to specifically separate the skin tone! and then use that as a mask, or make a solid in the color you want, add it on top, set the blending mode to "color" and drive the amount of the effect with the opacity of the layer. you can also use the lumetri color layer as an alpha matte for that! Does that make sense?
Is it possible to use this tool if the subject is at an angle, say 45" or so to the camera?
Hey, of course!! any angle you like!!
Amazing tutorial, I'll try to do it, but I'd like to take the entire video, and there's a moment when the camera (from the original Van Dame video) starts moving to the right....
how could i do with the camera of the original scene moving to the right and do it with my face until the end of the original video?
showing the side of my face until the end of the video?
Note: I want to do this from the beginning to the end of the original video.
Hey! I would try to do my best to mimic the original movement of the camera... and a little bit if trial and error 😁😁
ممتاز
شكر كثيرا!!
awesome video. Could you please create a tutorial on how to add a fake realistic car with tracking to a video? Like adding a sportscar to a music video while not actually having the car. 🤷🏻♂️😊 pleaseeee
Thanks!! so now to your question: if you add a car to your scene, there are three ways to do that.
1. filming on a tripod: you can then simply add a picture to the scene and color correct it... if you wish apply some handheld motion later on
2. film it with only nodal camera movement, then you can easily motion track your scene and add in the car in the same way
3. film it as you wish and go totally crazy... then you have to 3d track your scene and you also need to have a 3d car. You could use Element 3D as plugin or cinema4D as this links to After Effects.
1. simple
2. advanced
3. professional
flomotion cool. Thank you.
hi i have question can we find orignal face using these technology,
Hey, not sure what exactly you mean by that? Which face do you want to track?
Great! ...OK , so I need to apply makeup and beauty effects to some wedding clips 5-10 sec. each. what I do is very long process, first I extract frames in jpgs or tiffs , then I import them in lightroom do editing and then (even then it's limited) as face editing and clothes or body is completely not free ( brush masking can only be applied to individual frame) , there are few limitations and export them and then recompile them into videos and then apply luts. can we do this process quickly in AE? I mean process a face in video without making it a picture first. (blemishes, spot healing, skin softening etc)
Hey! Have you tried the mesh tracker from mocha pro? That could be your weapon of choice here!!
@@flo.motion No I haven't, I'm gonna check it out, thanks.
Echt cool......ob das auch mit bewegten Köpfen von Ziel und Ausgangskopf geht?
Das funktioniert! Macht es nur komplizierter! Gute Planung ist das A und O!!
@@flo.motion Danke.... Kann man auf ein Tut von dir hoffen?
can i ask, i notice you only showing 10 seconds approx of work on timeline, but your end video is long, did you have to go back and do the same work there that you have not shown us because of rendering time and mocha takes a long time to track?
hey! I did the final version before recording the tutorial, so I know what I need to do when recording! and because it is the same for the first few seconds as it is for the last, I try to get as many info into my tutorials without getting boring... that's why😉👍
flomotion thanks for that, my laptop isn’t powerful enough to track with mocha for 1 minutes of video , i cannot do 20 seconds without it getting hot and freezing, great tutorial mind, thank you.
What could be the problem ? When I insert the greenscree face into the original, the center point does not appear at the same time, and thus I cannot fit them together.
looks like your footage and the insert do not have the same comp size! You may want to precomp both before starting the tracking!!
What do you have to do if the actors hands are moving in front of his face.
Pls reply
the magic word is "rotoscoping"
i dont have mocha pro in after effect cc 2018, what can do? help
Haha... the problem is, that mocha is a free plugin, but mocha PRO is a plugin you have to purchase, but you will get super awesome features with it! But if you just want to follow along the face swap tutorial, you can use mocha ae! That should be pre-installed already!!
after applying the traking data to the face, the new pace is not aligning with JCV faces ... help please
Have you precooked everything beforehand?? Are you on the same frame in mocha and after effects??
nice done. your head was changing size. funny though
was it? 😳 thanks for keeping an eye on the details!!
Sir at 10min that middle cross arrow not coming on mocha after that whole tracking gone a fail .... so to do next??
hey, can you explain the error in more detail please? At which step does it fail?
Sir 1 month done when i asked this question Now it's solved Thank you sir and we love your tutorials 👍😇
You should make tutorials for vfx like Zach Kings videos
Well, sometimes I do... just check out my channel!! 😝😝
can we apply a image on a video like this ???
Of course you can. Works with the exact same workflow
sir do already have tutorial about 3d object with mocha?
hey, you wanna have a 3d tracking tutorial or does it have to be specifically for mocha (pro)?
@@flo.motion Please do 3d tracking tutorial using mocha pro and element 3d. placing 3object on video footage. because you are only one I found on TH-cam that very easy to follow. sorry for my english
Can I put a video with a picture of any face on it, as if I am like the Deep Face?
That is exactly what you can do with this technique
@@flo.motion Can I use mobile?
Can you make a real scanned head to fit a 3D one and it's 3D movements?
Not quite sure if I got you right... what do you mean by real scanned? Is it a real filmed head or a scanned 3D model of a head?
@@flo.motion Imgine you put your head in a 3D character
What if your subject/s is/are moving?
Hey, I just recently did a tutorial about that: th-cam.com/video/CT-qI83rbGU/w-d-xo.html
I cant seem to figure out why the face doesnt stay in the correct spot after apply the tracking data. even tho i made it the same size.
Can you share your project?? Did you precomp??
@@flo.motion I gave up 😂.
I need a full tutorial
hmmm.. this is a full tutorial...
I'm asking because I don't know After Effects exactly: How is it different than After Effects? Face Tracking in After Effects is unfortunately very slow. Is that fast?
hey, it really depends. What do you mean by slow? Sometimes great results can take some time 😜
@@flo.motion Yes I know.
But even with 10 second video, I wait at least 10 minutes while Face Tracking.
Excellent but you need to slow down a little when making these tutorials as it’s hard to follow when your clicking all over the place lol
hey, Ok, will try!! thanks for watching and thanks for the feedback!!
hey pleaase help!!!! i did everythin you do but my video gets frame out pop outs of BG. please help
Hey, what exactly do you mean? At which point does it start to fall apart??
@@flo.motion like after 14 seconds
Hi!!
Can we pay you to do make a video like this? :)
Hey... 3 things: first I don't do paid work... been there done that... 2nd: I would be too expensive unfortunately. 3rd: this is a tutorial, so try it out on your own and save some money!!
What AE version are you using?
Hy! If you use Adobe Creative Cloud, which is the only way to use AE, then you always have the newest version! So I am using AE CC 2020 at the moment
@@flo.motion ow thank you didn't expect that you'll reply❤
So what if his shirt isnt blue and its sandy color like the background?
Haha... well then you can achieve the same shot, but you would have to roto! But still you could try a color key, or if the color is the same you could try a luma key. If none of that works, you will unfortunately have to roto it out. But with mocha, or the new roto brush version 2, that should go pretty quick!
Bro can you replace my hair at hairfallen area in my video ??
Hey. Not quite sure what you mean. Do you have a link to your Video?
Do you know someone else to make something like this for me ?
haha... well this is a tutorial to show you how you can do it yourself!! Thought about that??
What app Is that?
it is called After Effects
sorry pls send link video backgrought help me.....
hey! you should find it on youtube!
where i get that video footage
i think you will need to ask Jean-Claude...👊
@@flo.motion thank you so much, i get that video
Круто! Жаль, что ничего не понятно🤣
извините, мой русский не так хорош. что именно ты имеешь ввиду?
Cool replacement... But the colour grading of the arms doesn't match the head....
Hmmm... you got me...
hélo pls link down videos backgrough
hey, you should find it on youtube pretty easy!!
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤤🤤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Can you do for Marilyn Monroe?
well... if she ever did a split on a truck, then this will be very easy... 😝😜
Can you please edit a video for me
hmmm... maybe...
Ulllalalllalalallalala
Thanks for the support!!
Can u do it on android bro
Good question... if you want to use After Effects I guess you have to use a computer / laptop
@@flo.motion unfortunately not available bro
I want no any buy
hmmm...
Isnt it easyer to create deepfake?
maybe it is easier, but it is not as good art-directable as doing it manually (at least today) and it takes ages (at least today)
my skin is dark,now what am i going to do😂
use the levels effect?? 😂😝😘
Have same thing in my mind lol, maybe i will give his hands the same color of my face as i am bkack person lol, or i will use levels to get brightness on my face in order to be same with his hand. So what i wanna know is, where can i get the original video 😢
@@WAZIIRKAFILMS th-cam.com/video/M7FIvfx5J10/w-d-xo.html here you go : )
I just want to ask a question. My friend's ex recently blamed him that he recorded a video of their private moments. He is a very gentleman type person since I know him from childhood. he swears that it isn't him in the video because they never got physical but she is blaming him. Even I can't tell whether it's real Or fake. All he says she had 100-200 photos(selfies) of him in her phone even now from old days maybe some videos from the video calls.as a software engineer I know there are such advanced tech softwares. But there isn't a single thing that one can say it's fake. The video is not of good quality that too it is recorded from a distance. Is there a chance that she used some software to make such a p**n video??
its possible to make a deepfake, but then again, deepfakes require around 7,000 images of a persons face and usually they must all be high quality. so i doubt its that. and the human face is the most diffucult (some might say impossible) thing to fake. anyway. im sorry youre facing the issue, i know this reply is a month late, but i thought i might step in
hey! That sounds really really strange! Are you sure you do not want to do the opposite and try to create something with the images 😝
0:15 два левых уха видно
Ух ты, ты должен стать "VFX Supervisor"!
Благодаря Вашему уроку я лучше знаю на что обращать внимание при работе с mocha))))
Может быть вы так и задумали, чтобы зритель был внимательнее и увидел что у вас 2 левых уха)))) Вы учите нас быть внимательными)))) thank you so much for this video))))😊😊😊
I just did it with deepfake app
really? Show me? How long did it take?
@@flo.motion I think it took around 8 hr in my old pc the problem is the long video shot the deep fake app finds it difficult to align the image. I tried with ae before but for me was lazy to do roto (I did tracking and roto) so dropped the project.
work too much that again and again two men track. made me confused.
...how can I help??
@@flo.motion no. I got it again. understand. Thanks.
Моча за 600 баксов, ну оооокей.....
хм может мой русский не очень хорош, или я просто не понимаю
«Mocha» is pronounced in Russian like «Urine». very similar sound. :D
We all know these guys down here are making deepfakes of their crush
🤔🤔😊😊
I feel happy when i see people try to help eash other learning new things, but what i just saw is not good finalizing quality specially the neck, learn how to do tha better then make a tutorial for people, hope u wont get it personally, and if u need any help in that just write me and i would be happy to help u in this, goodluck
😘😘 Challenge accepted: you improve the video! what do you need for that? what exactly bothers you? Thanks for the feedback!
What you're saying is that video was shot in a studio using a green screen. You so ruined it for me.
I am not saying he did it that way... but I definitely did it that way!! 🙃😜
