    Motion Track Circle Around Player?

    Posted by Spencer Honda on January 29, 2013 at 2:46 am

    What’s the simplest way to motion track a circle under/around a person running like in Madden.
    I’m making a football highlight tape and I usually just take a ring I made in photoshop and then manually track it and manipulate it to stay under the player as they run around the field.

    Do I just use the motion tracker tool to basically do the same thing?

    I would suggest you to use Mocha AE which comes with AE CS5 and above.

    It is a much powerful than AE inbuilt tracker.

    You can start from here:
