Nice work! I do have a question though. What is the music bed that is used in the Freebie? It has that certain sound I have been looking for. If you could let me know that would be great! Thanks Again and God Bless.
Brad – awesome stuff. Do you have posted somewhere or are you willing to post the downtown Chicago footage without the text? Thanks.
Awesome high quality content for christian broadcasters. great work Dan. Expressions are super useful. Blessings from New Zealand!
Hey Brad, Great tutorial. Super helpful.
I had a question. For the freebie video you did with this technique…did you duplicate this entire process for every piece of text you had? or was there a way you can copy any of it?
Thanks man!
You have to track every piece of footage, some of the text coloring and those effects I reused between shoots.
Hi Brad,
I've been giving this a go, the tracking goes fine, the points all stick nicely and look good in After Effects, however when I drop some text in I get a lot of slipping… any thoughts?
Thanks,
Doc
Sometimes the point you are attaching to looks like it is sitting on the ground or the wall but it could actually be way farther forward or backward in z space. So you may need to push your text forward or backwards to get it to stick.
Also the scale can mess things up. Try a small object first and make sue that sticks before replacing it with something larger.
Thanks for the fast response Brad, will give this ago!
