  AE tracking in perspective

  Posted by Walkingduck on May 10, 2007 at 6:05 pm

  Hi folks,

  I was wondering if AE can track perspective angle.
  I have a camera that is reaching to a TV. It’s very short and the TV is visible through out the whole movie since it’s about 4 seconds.
  So, through the camera, a viewer is looking at the TV monitor from about 40 degree and end up looking at straight. I basically want to replace the screen with my own.
  Is this possible in AE tracking?

  Thanks a lot.

  Tracking Tuts

  Here’s all the Tracking Tuts I know of, the first four are from adobe support, the second and third are what you want. And for a step by step on adjusting a track that goes bad (Tracks gone bad! the movie) see the 3rd part of Aharon’s series on turning video into cartoons, there he tracks an eye onto the character, starts at the 5 minute mark. It’s only a 1 point track but he shows you how to adjust frame by frame when the tracker gets cranky. Hope these help.
