    Hi. I’m planning on making a video where I greenscreen just my head, and then I place my disembodied head on top of another person’s head from a separate video. The problem is that this other person’s head moves around a lot, so my floating head will also have to move a lot to stay on top of him. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can do this? It’s okay if it looks campy and/or terrible, that’s kind of what I want.

    Hi Alan,

    In Premiere Effects Controls, use Adobe Motion to move and scale the head as needed. Enable keyframes and you will be able to manually set points (keyframes) to have the head follow the body, this can be tedious though. Think of it as “connect the dots”. Look in Premiere HELP to learn how to use keyframing.

    This tracking process could be automated use Adobe After Effects, then you can set control points to track and the software will do it automatically, but this takes knowledge and time, just use Motion in Premiere for hobby/fun stuff
