Want your type to connect better to the video? Then you will need to match the movement of both your video and graphics. In this movie, author Eran Stern will demonstrate how you can stabilize the clip to make it appear as a lock down shot and how to keep the camera motion by tracking the footage and then attach the title to the motion.
- To make the type connect better to the video,…we need to match the movement of both elements.…We can either stabilize the clip…to make it appear as a locked down shot…or we can keep the common emotion…by dragging the footage…and then attach the title to the motion.…I think the second option will work better here…because it will keep the shot more natural and less planned.…I'm going to play the clip for you…so you can get a sense that this clip has…a little bit of a kind of movement,…almost like a hand held, very gentle move.…
And in order to integrate the text better into this scene…we need to track the motion…and then connect both of them together.…This will help us in the future…when we'll need to add even more type to this composition.…Now the problem is that we've already applied…the Time Remapping option to the video.…And currently inside After Effects…if you are going to select a clip…and then try to track it.…And in this case, I've already made sure…that the Tracker window is available to me.…
So I'm just going to highlight it.…
