Videocopilot – DemonFace Tut. Problem

[Jon Agnew]

You missed a step. You’ve stabilized the motion and increased the comp size. Now you need to do the “reverse” tracking part. This is complicated to explain. I’ll try here, but you’ll probably find it more helpful to revisit the tutorial.

Make a new composition (I’ll call it comp 2) and add the stabilized comp (Comp 1).

In your timeline, take the Comp 1 tag and drag it above Comp 2 so that both timelines are visible.
In comp 2, twirl down the transform properties of the Comp 1 layer. Alt-Click on the Anchor Point property and use the expression pickwhip to link the Anchor point to the position property of the Null in Comp 1.
Now Alt-Click the position property of your layer in Comp 2, and link it to the Anchor Point of the Null in Comp 1.

That should do it.

well, you definitely didn’t miss a step.

The project you put up doesn’t have the movie files included, so I couldn’t see the video, but I did look at how you have it set up and wasn’t able to find the problem. My best guess at this point is that your track might be a little off somewhere. If it was me, I would try to retrack the motion, going through frame by frame to be sure its perfect.
