Text motion tracking

[Andrew Lenczycki]

If you’re talking about the white text that is superimposed on the scene, indicating what is being said, it can be done with text events (Media Generators tab, Text event) that are controlled with keyframes in Track Motion – 3D Source Alpha. There will be a lot of keyframing needed to give the illusion that the text is part of the scene. It can all be done from within Vegas.

Thank you for your fast answer! It worked 🙂

Now i must try to make it part of the scene, the only way is through keyframing?
In the same video as before , at 1:19 it is nicely done, do you think that it’s only keyframing?

[Andrew Lenczycki]

Yes I do. At the 1:19 point, it appears as if you go “thru” the text. This looks like it was done by fading out the text and adding a little Gaussian Blur (FX) at the same time.

I tried a lot of times but with keyframing seems a lot impossible to make a realistic “Inside the scene” text. Probably it is just me, but isn’t there some other way? I’m trying since some hours and the text isn’t even nearly stationary as the one in the video. Thank you!

PS. even tried something with motion tracking and after effects but can’t figure out..

you can put everything into a single frame in photoshop, but you will never do any proper motion tracking using handmade keyframing. no matter how long you try the text will always tremble.

the pro-way is to do in auto mode using after effect, mocha, or hitfilm.

Vegas doesn’t have motion tracking tools out of the box (Track Motion IS NOT motion tracking solution)
You need BorisFX plugins, or standalone trackers (eg. Mocha)

Can i know more about this? Thank you 🙂

You could use the Match Move plug-in from Boris Continuum Complete or purchase it as part of the Motion Tracking Continuum Unit.

I have a tutorial on Boris TV that shows you how to use it.

To get it this accurate by had you would have to keyframe each and every frame. It’s much easier to use a motion tracking plug-in.
