  • Spotlight POI follows motion path??

    Posted by Ansel Spear on May 28, 2011 at 8:04 am

    In a talking head interview, I have placed a spotlight in post on the subject’s face. He moves around quite a lot, and I have tracked his movement using AE’s motion tracker.

    For the life of me, I cannot remember how to instruct the spot’s POI to follow the motion path – ergo move with the subject.

    Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks.

    COnvert the tracked layer to a 3D layer. Then copy the tracked layer’s position property and paste it into the Spotlight’s POI property – or simply pickwhip the target property to the source property to create an Expression link.
