Quick tip here : Instead of doing 5 frames at a time, do the first and last frame, and then, put a keyframe in the middle of the shot. It should follow pretty roughly, then, you can go in the middle of two keyframe and adjust everytime it splits. It makes for a less jittery tracking and can save you keyframes that are not necessary.
That was a great way to do it though. I still don't understand why there is no real tracking module in Premiere. Resolve is way ahead of the curve here and has been for the last 10 years.
You absolute legend! I tried following some other tutorials but what they didn't mention was that anchor point. I don't know what else I did differently but I trying to figure this out for a lot longer than I needed to until I found your video. Thanks! :D
Glad it helped
Oh yeah anchor points can be a really trip up point if you're not aware of them! Glad this helped!
Admittedly, After Effects can be a little bit of a beast. - Dumbledore said calmly 0:14
Thanks Envato Tuts+ for providing cool tutorial everyday
Glad you like them!
Bonjour merci pour ce tuto , cependant j'ai une question j'ai acquérir after effect , et je voudrais savoir comment fait ton pour faire cela sur un personnage réel qui s'incruste dans un film avec la caméra en mouvement mais sans que le personnage flotte je voudrais le fixer comme dans ta vidéo sur un seul endroit pour eviter que le personnage s'envole
cordialement.
This is a great tutorial and effect!
Glad you liked it, thanks! 🙏
Tip: I didnt get the Anchor Point to show at first. But make sure you choose Selection Tool again. That should get your anchor point back.
after 4 attempts, i saw your comment. thank you for saving me! 😂
i wanted to add tiny bit of spice to my meaningless project and hated my motion tracking attempt. this helped A LOT
Very interesting and smart way to do motion tracking in Premiere Pro. Yet, not the easiest way...
I still wonder, why adobe doesn't add a true tracking tool in PP, like the powerful one in AE. It would so much simpler.
And considering the fact, that tracking already exists as a tool in every effect we ad on any layer...
Adobe's point of view is still a deep mystery !!
BTW, thanks a lot for this tut ;)
Adobe's POV is truly a mystery! I assume they just want people to have a need for AE hence not bringing a true tracking tool into PP, but who knows! Until then we'll all just have to keep finding funky workarounds!
@@TutsPlusTom nah bro they adobe just being greedy 🤣🤣
This is why I moved to DaVinci Resolve. It has an auto-tracking tool and Magic Mask tool that puts this to rest in short order. We're talking seconds!
I wonder with so many people picking up videography for social media content will they make it easier for people to do motion tracking speed ramping as easy a s what capcut can do. I have spoke to several people about Premiere pro and they say they prefer the UX of lesser video editing platforms
Thanks a lot.
Do you also teach WordPress?
I encountered a problem, just for future ref. Could you tell me why the overlay I added jumped to a different location during the animation / playback, when I copied and pasted the transform effect and scaled down / adjusted the anchor point as you described. I'm defo missing something and its really frustrating, but I've had to find a workaround (adjusting keyframes for the overlay) and move on. Thanks in advance, this may help others too! :D
How to get the speedo overlay
using a period as the anchor visual was clever, lol
tysm! i was losing my mind trying to find the intended method, surprised they haven't ported official motion tracking from AF. i'll probably be using this method until i get around to learning the other app.
Yeah it's pretty wild that they haven't bought some of the basic tools like motion tracking over from After Effects. I will say though, learning AE as a complement to your editing work in Premiere is a skill that is only going to increase your abilities and options. It's a bit of a beast but I'd definitely suggest investing the time. It's a little old now but AE really hasn't had any major updates in years so it's still very relevant - check out this course by the excellent Dave Bode! th-cam.com/video/PWvPbGWVRrU/w-d-xo.html
I love this video so much ❤
Wait, there is a more automated version of PP (correction) with Mask Tracking, which is what I was looking for. Doesn't work very well though.
Brilliant! 🙌🏻🎉
What is a full stop??? And how do you even create that? Missed a whole step
For anyone curious like I was, "Full Stop" is actually the English/Australian term for "Period". I've been watching UK/Aussie shows for decades and had no idea until this video lol.
Thanks so much! Game changer!!
This is insane, so much easier in After Effects
Of course, After Effects is designed for that. But, some don't have access to After Effects and still want to do the same thing. Hence, this tutorial.
@@envatotuts I know and thank you! But daaamn
Exactly... i can't believe there's no motion tracking in PP
@@EnglishRainit’s ‘cause all Adobe cares about is $$$$$
CapCut does it with literally 3 clicks.
I just learned something which could be useful to my fellow Americans: a "full stop" is a period in British English. Cheers!
Full stop means period. Just a simple dot. Full stop implies so much more, esp when dealing with motion.
Thanks!! In all my life I've never heard of a "full stop" on a keyboard, nor a term in Adobe. I was ready to pull out what little hair I have... Full Stop!
I followed the instructions for a PNG and while it APPEARS to follow the position and size changes and marks the keyframes, when you play the video the object does nothing.
I´ve only just become (... well, sorta) good at After Effects after a damn good teacher in LA alongside 2 courses with School Of Motion! And this was actually easier to do in Premiere Pro. Thanks a lot for this video. Very helpful.
This technique is a little rudimentary but it works out surprisingly well, especially when compared to the AE version as you say!
How do I do that but with a video in a video?
I wonder why you can't just select the object and move it with the arrow tool which SHOULD automatically update the X and Y parameters but does not. Just another one of the mind-blowing issues with Premiere that greatly affect productivity.
I haven't had luck with the arrow keys but you can select the object and just move that around using the cursor and it will update the positional keyframes. Then you just play the video another frame or 20 then move it again....and it will update automatically. It's crazy to drag the position XY sliders to move the object in place to set key frames. BTW Make sure your clip is selected in the timeline AND you select the 'Position' effect in the Effect Controls window before moving your object or it won't work. This will activate the clip in the Program monitor for motion adjustments. (or just use AE ;0) haha)
great tutorial, but for some reason it won't give me the option to copy the transform properties from the text to the video layer, any idea why? ctrl + c ctrl + v won't work and it doesn't at all give me the option to copy by right clicking
next best thing to try is copying the full stop layer (either cntl + c or right click -> copy) and then right click on what you want to transfer the tracking to and click paste attributes
I did everything u did in the Video Multiple Time.. But When I Copy the Keyframed Transform Fx into the Other Layer and set the anchor point the "Image" wont the moving.. Any tipps or conclusions for that?
my thought is possibly, without seeing your screen at least, does the new layer have the stopwatch key turned on? You can't make/adjust/copy/whatever keyframes without first turning on the stopwatch which activates the keyframes
Thanks so much! Where is the After Effects tutorial you mentioned?!
No worries, the AE tut is now correctly linked. Here it is though for ease, enjoy! th-cam.com/video/DnD0UdDr3ks/w-d-xo.html
@@TutsPlusTom ty!!!
Very good tutorial, but does it happen to anyone else that when you activate the shutter angle, the object changes to another location? help.
well done brother... loving my new found skill...
how to highlight again ? command A ? is that in windows version ? coz im confused
Plz, make a video, on how to use a motion tracker in after effects.
Keep an eye on the channel, that video will be out soon! 😀
Followed everything step by step. My full stop tracks perfectly but when copied effect to desired clip it does not track like the full stop does. So baffled... I sent a screenshare to y'alls Facebook messenger, maybe could take a look by chance? Thank you for the video though, sounds like many have got it to work!
Of all the features added to premiere over the years it’s crazy to me that a basic tracking function isn’t one of them…. This is the only thing I miss from avid.
How do you create a speedo overlay in Premiere Pro?
I don't know what the hell I've done wrong here but mine isn't working. It doesn't appear to be holding the positing I move the full stop to. I've got through frame by frame over and over again but it appears to be just moving the fullstop every time and not tracking. Do I need to make a cut everytime I change frames or something?
There is no automatic motion tracking in Premiere ? even Vegas has it, I do not understand how a professional program like Premiere still does not incorporate it, it is unacceptable, I find it ridiculous to have to do it by hand, frame by frame, it does not look very good like that.
It's amazing
Can this be done with more precise effects, like replacing a moving phone screen with a screen shot on another clip placed on the video track above? Can Premiere handle that?
Thats exactly what I just used this for!
Thank you! This is sick!
Glad you like it!
Please do a video on how to this in Davinci resolve
Keep an eye on the channel, that video has just been completed and will be up in the next couple of weeks!!
@@TutsPlusTom your a star mate thanks a million
What about the tut for after effects? .. It didn't pop up as you said..
You make an excellent point so let me peel back the curtain briefly - we hit a snag on the YT backend with that upload but rest assured that video is going to be out VERY shortly. Keep an eye on the channel ❤️
@@TutsPlusTom Hey I noticed this too! Have you dropped it yet? If so can you post the details in the description? Thanks so much!
@@HealthyBodyForLife @lythouse5345 I have updated the description / the end card!! But for ease, here you go th-cam.com/video/DnD0UdDr3ks/w-d-xo.html
why my position won't change the number like you did
like its stuck
Hi, this video is great, but it does not work for everything. It is hard when working with text and it may not look great. The reference circle or whatever shape you use needs to match as much as possible with the subject. That way it is easy to match every 5 frames. Thanks.
2:43 and we're going to put that onto our layer
What? where? I'm a total beginner, all I saw was you drag the transform effect off to somewhere out of frame
Sorry for the quick move! We drag the transform effect down on to the layer that we created that has the full stop / period. Hope that clears it up for you!
Thank you!!!
The best!
thanks
This is not motion tracking, just manual tracking. :) If you want to make motion track, please use after effects.
Correct! But, if you HAVE to work in PP or don't know your way around After Effects, as many don't, this is at least one way to push it in the direction of motion tracking! ❤️
great
I'm still at a loss about how to add that white dot anchor point. I create the text layer, but it doesn't show a white dot.
It's just a period he typed. That's what he meant by "full stop".
@@AQWpaladan @KracovOrg yep sorry, my Australianess is showing!
@@TutsPlusTom No worries! Thanks for the guide! 💖
How is it that a FREE mobile app called Capcut can do this with a click of a button yet industry standard Adobe Premiere you still have to do this manually. What is going on!
After effects made by Adobe already made this easier way before Cap cut. I think this tutorial is for people who dont use after effects. So he's still showing that there's also a way to do it in Premier.
There is a way to get the Warp Stabilizer's keyframe data and paste it on the motion position to create a realistic hand shake effect.
Maybe using the crop matte auto tracking keyframes data in the opacity settings and pasting it onto the motion position would so it?
Too lazy for tonight. Will test tomorrow. LOLL
not fast
You call that "motion tracking" ?
Since the text is tracking the motion of the bike, it is motion tracking. The subject here just isn't moving everywhere like on some motion tracking examples.
It's keyframing.
Dumb question...what does "full stop" mean?
Ah good call, for us Aussies and I'm assuming Brits / British English speaking countries a full stop is the dot at the end of a sentence, otherwise known as a period.
@@TutsPlusTom thank you!
You look like the British guy from Kevin Can Wait.
lol
What is a full stop?
Look for a point that the image you are trying to track has no motion blur.
The full stop (Commonwealth English), is the same as a period (North American English).
Oh wow i was gonna buy premiere because i thought it had motion tracking. Bruh i can do this manual crap in camtasia
Senk you, my friend!
This app name plz....
Adobe Premiere Pro
nices 👌
Even filmora provides... Adobe😢
I know right?! Shouldn't be that hard..... 😢
This is NOT fast 😂 Side note: this is my first time hearing someone refer to a period as a "full stop." I was so confused for at least 93 seconds
I was NOT prepared for how much conversation would go on in the comments about full stop vs period! I feel like I'm confusing people the world over!
it's make motion grapher get so much salary.... wkwkwkwk, doing frame by frame like that is so spend more time
what's wrong with your sound?
This fast, really????
i can't believe that in 2023 we still have to do it motion track manually in the professional video editing software. Basic phone apps can do it automatically. Premiere really sucks.
This is not motion tracking !
