It would’ve take about the same time to achieve 95% match, not 100% like in this method 🙂

I wonder if you saw the youtube link I just uploaded minutes ago, proving my theory was correct 🙂

I need the oposite – I want to place an animated object on top of a static object that appears in a video.
Anyway, I don’t think it really really matters why it’s needed.

As you can see above, I just replied with a link to a video of the solution, which I figured out myself, using the motion track.

As I thought, it is indeed possible using motion tracking.
I figured it out with a quick, precise and easy method.
Here it is:

It’s never perfectly black, it can take about 3-5 minutes to achieve 95% match, and if I need to do it 10 times for a project – that’s a lot of time.
I’ll see what I can do with the motion track..

No Dave, this was just an example.
On the real issue, I have an animated video and I want to overlay identical objects from AE on top of it.

Dave, did you watch the demo?
Manual placement is never 100% exact.
The tracking data will help me calculate the exact offset between the layers (which is a “1 frame movement”).
Using this offset I can calculate what’s the exact distance and scale between the layers.
I just need to know how to use this info in a reversed manner.
If this still isn’t clear, then I’m not sure how else to explain it 🙁

I meant tracking the offset between the first layer and the second layer.
I’ve recorded an example:

You can see I found the movement between the first layer and second one, and I know we can somehow use this movement as an offset/difference in order to move the second layer back onto the first layer.

Makes sense?

I am sure we can take advantage of the fact AE knows to search for a specific point when using “track motion”.
I already was able to track the movement between the image that’s in the video to the independent image file that I randomally placed on screen.
I just don’t know how to inverse that movement onto layer 2, in order to position it on top of the video.

Do you get my point?
