  After Effects – How do I add a stroke showing the path of a car on a racetrack?

  Posted by Vincent Chilton on May 19, 2012 at 7:40 am

  I have a shot of a car going down a racetrack. It would be simple enough to add a line showing where the car is going but the shot is panning (camera moving sideways). Does anyone know of a technique I could use to parent the stroke not only to the car but the the moving video as well?

  Thanks in advance 🙂

  Firstly, panning isnt the camera moving sideways, thats tracking.

  You could try tracking a point on the car, then use the created null as a parent for the rest of the effects.
