Motion Tracking in After Effects

Image result for motion tracking after effects

Hey there guys welcome to my first post on After Effect. What you are going to need for this project is a PC, After Effects CC and footage. I decided to start with that was both relatively simple and useful to know. This effect s know as motion tracking. The way this work is by using contrast and tracking that one point you select. I provided my stock clips that I filmed and used for this example below if you are interested in recreating the same effect. The tutorial that I follow is also linked below for reference. I am going to mention that I used single point tracking, so if you are following the video only use that part for the track. Also, if you are wondering how i got rid of the green behind the flame, well it pretty simple. I used an effect that is known as key light to achieve this. Finally, I would recommend if you use the stock footage of my hand track one of the grooves on my palm (this makes the track easier to execute). Thanks so reading and hope you enjoy! This is PhotoWizard signing of this week and remember photography can be magical!   😎

P.S. I could not upload the clip into the website so, it can be viewed on the google drive link!
