Motion Tracking

This lesson motion tracking was the main task which was a lot different to what we had done in previous lessons. This was a little less in depth because we were doing it automatically. We had a piece of footage from the opening of the T.V show The Walking Dead and we were to add in text that went with the footage. The first thing to be done was to change the workspace from standard to motion tracking for obvious reasons. Then on the right hand side there was a track camera button to press which then After Effects would analyse all the available points which would then be marked by multi colored x's. This will create a 3d tracked camera in the comp then the text layer can become 3d by ticking the 3d button and will disappear because it is 3d. Finally when you ram preview it you will see the 3d text comes in with the footage in a similar way to that of the show.
