I’m aware that After Effects has motion tracking, and I use it for other projects. However, my footage is usually at least 45 minutes in length, up to 90 minutes, so motion tracking in After Effects would take forever.
Hi Ross! I film single speakers onstage as they give presentations. They will often walk around the stage. Instead of hiring a second videographer or using something like a subject-tracking robot/tripod, I would like to set up a 4K camera (GH4) with the entire stage in the frame (probably 50 feet across). I’ve been looking for a way to automatically motion track the speaker in Premiere/AE/whatever so I can shoot in 4K, output to 1080, and have my (now cropped) footage appear to “follow” the speaker as if I were moving the actual camera myself. In looking at the Mocha website, I can’t seem to find this exact functionality. Can you possibly point me in the right direction? This would be an amazing time-saver in not having to keyframe every time the speaker moves. Thank you so much!
