-duplicate the footage and call it Luminance Map.
-on the Luminance Map, add Black & White and Levels.
-increase the contrast so the rocks have clear light and dark areas.
-add Gaussian Blur around 5 to 15 px.
-create your dingo silhouette on a separate layer.
-apply Effect > Distort > Displacement Map to the dingo.
-set Displacement Map Layer to…

Hey Man! For Hyper Speed you should get a nice 9950x and an Rtx 5090 and 128gb of ram;
This 3 component will literally unlock “Ultra Insinct Mode” in your pc, whatever you’ll give it, it will simply do it almost instantly, forever.
Avoid 4k at all costs and this setup.

ok Neil here’s the full tutorial with 2 working methods for this, hope you like it a little bit! 🔥

good, shoot the link when you’re ready to do this

drop a drive or a wetransfer link or if you wanna keep it extra private, send the link as a message to my profile

Hey Bro! send me the uncompressed clip and i’ll send it solved for you + project files and a tutorial with my full method. In case you’re ready, Let’s do it

hey Matt i recorded a tutorial with the solution and attached the fixed project file in the description, i hope you like it! 🔥

https://youtu.be/D1ofUN-Rlsw

hey man! in order to solve this 100%, i just need to know:

is the tracking null itself parented to anything, or does it have Scale/Rotation values in addition to Position?

If you tell me how you created/applied the track (e.g. Mocha, AE 3D Camera Tracker, point tracker, position track) and whether the null has Position only or Position +…

Vegas is indeed the goat of instant tracing, i’m happy you like it, have fun!

yo bro! for a shape-agnostic solution you absolutely need to discover an effect called VEGAS.

here’s the best method i studied for you:

1 precomp your object matte.

2 add the Vegas effect to the precomp.

3 set Render to Transparent.

4 ncrease Segments until the outline looks smooth enough.

5 adjust Width and Softness untill it looks right.

6 animate…

Don’t worry! There is an open-source free equivalent of the tool i told you,
you simply need to install this: https://ollama.com/download
and this: https://github.com/jonigl/mcp-client-for-ollama

and you need to have a decent gpu in your local system, for example a 3090.

then you need to install all of this!

I already did it successfully in a couple…

Yup, you got it! btw, if you have Claude Pro, you can give it a reference and make it do the animation for you while you sleep, by using a protocol called MCP, here’s how to install and use it, you’re welcome! 🔥

got it! to replicate that you need to involve shape morphing with the path along with the classic properties, lemme send you the project file replicating the perfect motion 1:1, let me know if this makes you slightly happier 🔥

hey Luke! I recorded a custom tutorial with the solution and i included the project file for you to study the technique, hope you like it! 🔥

hey Jason i recorded a custom tutorial just for you with the solution, hope you like it! 🔥

hey man! send me your footage and the mustace png with transparency you wanna track on his face and i’ll record a custom tutorial for you with a mindblowing method, thank you!

Hey man! i’m gonna keep it short and simple for now, you can try to undistort the footage first, displace with depthmap in 3D (Trapcode Form/Mir or Plexus reads depth as displacement), then innsert Tao geometry in that same undistorted 3D space, redistort the whole comp at the end.

This should Keep your camera solve’s 3D space matching the depth…

Hey bro!

Here’s a 100% guaranteed method:

– Physically print every frame on paper at 12fps

Wrap each sheet and unwrap it, then Wear dirty boots and step on each sheet without destroying it

Scan each sheet at 1200dpi

Merge the files back as image sequence

Remove background , post,

That’s it

The truth is that ai now is perfectly able to recreate that loo…

Hey Lucas! the fix is to animate in 3D space (e.g. C4D or Blender) mapped to the actual cube geometry, then bake/render the faces flat, so transitions between faces are geometrically correct with no timing gaps.

Lemme know how it goes and in case we escalate this further

Hey Nick! Try these thins one by one:

• Move the entire scene closer to the world origin.
• Reduce scene scale dramatically (10× or 100× smaller).
• Move the camera closer.
• Avoid huge Z distances.
• Switch between Mercury GPU Acceleration and Software Only.
• Update the GPU driver directly from NVIDIA/AMD/Intel.
• Move the label noticeably outward from t…

Hey guys! I made a tutorial with modern techniques to work around this hardcoded “issue” of AE, hope you like my methods!

https://youtu.be/7EhX06wzmok

with duik you can do whatever you want, here’s a tutorial i recorded myself that shows how to use it, hope you like it!

https://youtu.be/t19pqyLkd70

Hey Matthew! The video is now public again, click it and lemme know if you like it! Welcome back, you’ve been away for months, whoa! 🔥

Have you tried puppet pinpoints in “Starch” mode?
Have you tried the Duik plugin method?

Have you tried with AI video animation?

Thank you, can you please clarify exactly how do you need do animate it? I’ll give you some options so we ultimately get on the same page:

-the arm straightens and becomes a straight line, tense, the anchor point is attached to the right and rotates clockwise and back a little bit,
-the arm stays as is, contorted, but rotates

-the arm straightens and…

Hey Matthew, no panic, this issue will be solved today. But before i show you a super powerful method to achieve this, can you help me figure out where the said “arm” is in the picture? Unfortunately, to my eyes, it seems like a Picasso, looks like a mess of lines, help me help you! 😁

let’s figure it out, maybe you are one click from getting better results, first of all, make sure you downscale the video to 720p before uploading it as input, and check the output res matches 720p,
second, there is a trick to tryout many different results very quickly; in the “length” parameter, put it to “1”, this way it will intantly generate 1…

here’s my technique, lemme know if you like it and i record a tutorial on how to achieve it with any word you desire!

Hey Stephen, the frustration is close to an end! Send me the raw footage, i’ll record a custom tutorial showing my own technique to solve stuff like this! I guess you wanna apply stuff like a tattoo to the inner hand, right?

hey bro! the core issue is that your current expression is interpolating linearly between the layer’s own anchor and the null’s anchor in comp space, but this ignores the direction vector needed for a true perspective extrusion. The repeater positions in AE are local to the shape group, so simply using toComp on the null doesn’t properly accou…

i was sure you would’ve like this solution! for any question in the future, don’t hesitate to shoot a dm!

my pleasure! if you need help with more effects in the future, don’t hesitate to send a dm!

This will work

here’s the project file, take your time to study it and iterate from it on your own!

sounds good, waiting for your video

My pleasure! As soon as i get back home i will send you the aep file so you can study it! keep an eye on this thread

Here is the demo, do you like it?

https://we.tl/t-Cw2eqz2yHET1gRh1

Ah ok, thank you for you patience! Now i’ll create a demo effect and if you like it i will explain how i did it, sounds good?

ok! i think we’re getting in the right direction, the video of a hand, doing what? just opening and closing back and forth with the effect activating for a split second and then return normal?

sounds good! Please, go to this website, choose a video i can use then describe how you want the effect to start, stick and end, i’ll be happy to make a custom tutorial explaining the simplest way to achieve this particular effect. Talk soon! 🔥

on a video, or on an image?

Hey Rockey! I can make a custom tutorial for you but, can you please elaborate? can you send an example of what you’re looking for? Thank you for your patience, see you soon

Here it is! i hope you like it!

https://youtu.be/_jpKDnLOzHc

gotchu! thx for finding the time to reply. Yes, this the final boss of tracking, but i have a secret trick up my sleeve, you’ll hear from me very soon with a custom tutorial.

happy to help! Have fun! 🔥

use this effect, copy the settings as in the pic, automate radius from 0 to a higher number until you achieve that exact effect, that’s how they do that stuff, hope it helps you sleep well at night!

Ok i worked on this for a couple of hours, this is the best i can recreate, let me know if you like it so i show you how i achieved it and then you can continue adding on your own, i can send you the project if you want!
