Shot Made With Steadycam, How Do You Get The Titels In It?
I’ve got a shot of 20sec, Made with a steadycam.
What do you see?
The point of view when you walk though a building. The camera is going up and down like he is following something.What do you have to see in the end?
There has to fly a title through the room, like the carmera is folowing the title.I’ve got the shot motion tracked. But now i can’t find an other way to animate the title exept for keyframing everything.
How can i make the title realistic in a easy way?Hope someone can help!

AE provides you with 2D motion tracking, which works well if there isn’t too much of a change in perspective or too much movement along the Z-axis, but fails to provide an accurate track otherwise.
You could manage to motion track titles in if you don’t mind them looking somewhat detached from the environment (like they’re floating), but it will require a fair amount of manual keyframing to alter the motion tracker data.
If most of your motion is along the Z-axis (dollying forward) then my recommendation would be to motion track for position and rotation and then keyframe the scale manually.
If you want more accurate results it will require a 3D motion tracking solution such as SynthEyes (https://www.ssontech.com/) or 2d3 boujou (https://www.2d3.com/) but these can be pricey and somewhat difficult to pick up fresh and use.

If I understand your situation and question properly, I think you want to apply your motion tracking data to a null object, and then parent your text layer to the null object, that way you can apply keyframes to the text layer, but the text layer will still utilize the motion tracking data, and you won’t have to touch any keyframes generated from the motion tracker.
