The Foundary Tacker/Boujou/Mocha!?!?

Why 3D Camera Tracker is not usable here? I have seen some tutorials and there is an option for 3d Camera and Text in it which may help Stuart what he wants to achieve.

Here is the one I am talking about:

Vishesh, It conceivably could work since the only movement is the camera. I thought she was moving her arm as well. Only one way to find out, try them both and use which ever one gives the most satisfactory results. 😀

Stuart, if you dont wont to waste time learning to use the wrong technique, send me the clip and I will tell you which one you will get the best results from.

Thanks so much guys.

Tom, I’d very much appreciate it if you could take a look at the clip for me. I think (as you point out) I’m just not quite sure which technique I need to use.

In the clip the talent is moving her arms a little (though certainly not excessively) so that could be the issue. However, I have since tried going back to basics by simply shooting a tabletop with a few high contrast markers on it and performed a similar camera move. My results are still unusable though, with the text sliding around a lot.

I’ve been trying all day to work it out and I’m about to go crazy!

I found your email address in your profile so if it’s OK with you I’ll email you the clip now.

Very much appreciated.

I will see what I can do. Down loading now.

Stuart I sent you an email with some observations. Also I sent the project back (tracked) by We Transfer. I hope you are on AE CS6 since that is what I used. See if you can replicate what I did so this becomes a learning experience. Good luck!

As it turns out , the solution that worked was using AE Camera tracker to track the shot, then manually tracking the motion of the person holding the camera. She did a little move in the middle of the shot.

So Stuart, how did things go with your tracking challenge?

Real life (and work) got in the way since the weekend but I’m hoping to give it a try tonight/tomorrow.

I’ll let you know how I get on.
