  • Text Animation too smooth for on FPS Footage

    Posted by Benjamin Härmstädt on February 4, 2016 at 9:01 am

    Hello,

    just a short question. Because of the seemless animation of added assets on pre recorded footage (29,97/59,94 FPS) like text or pictures the result looks unbalanced. The animated text looks smoother than the background footage.

    For Example i have the photo of a funny face. Then i put that picture of a face on a background video to cover the original face. When the character on the footage moves, the face should stay on it. To do that it has to imitate the movement shown in the backgroud footage. To achieve that i use the keyframe animation feature. Now the background video goes frame by frame, but the asset animation isn’t connected to any frame. Its a smooth transition from point one to point two.

    Question: Is it possible that a asset wont go smooth but jumps frame by frame like the video footage?

    English isnt my foreign language – any wrong spelling was not intended.

    If you want the text to match frame for frame then you’ll need to make a keyframe for every frame. Otherwise you will get smooth interpolation between two keyframes that are further apart in time.

    BTW, your English is fine. 😉

    Hey John, thank you for your fast response.

    So there is no other workarround?
    Making a new keyframe for every frame isn’t effective and makes editing afterwards pretty hard. Am i the only one try something like this, or is there another way arround to achieve this “effect”?

    No, you are not the only one. What most people use is Motion Tracking. But the Motion Tracker makes a keyframe every frame for you so in the end ou get the same thing. Here is a tutorial on using the motion tracker called BCC Match Move in Vegas Pro:

    Vegas Pro doesn’t have a motion tracker so you need top buy a plug-in to do this.
