For this lesson we were going to learn about motion tracking. The first thing we had do was import the .MOV file into after effects, we then had to make a new composition, after making the new composition we had to change the workspace from standard to motion tracking, the workspace is the way that the layout of after effects is set out, there are different presets, or a custom preset can be made.
The first job we had to do was motion track the footage, there are four options, track camera, warp stabilise, stabilise motion and tack motion; today we were going to be using track camera.
After selecting track camera after effects analyses the footage and reveals tracking points in which you can attach things to and it will stay on that point throughout the sequence, this gives the illusion of your added tex/image, etc… being in the shot; in our case we were going to add text. Seen below is a piece of 'tracked' footage.
What we then done was create a new 3D camera track camera so that it would work with other 3D layers in the composition, (we made our text a 3D layer), we then created the text layer and made it a 3D layer, after placing it by the bottom of the frame it gave the illusion of the text being on the floor we were then finished, we exported it and then saved it.
