thanks! I did attempt to stabilize but I literally cant get it to work properly. I did warp stabilizer and tried to pick my own track points. I have never been good at tracking so if anyone wants to be a really awesome person and stabilize I would be insanely grateful.

thanks for the info. I literally kno a fraction about ae that you know. I only learn stuff from video copilot and reading on creative cow. I have it worked it now I just tracked it using mocha and parented the text to a null that I imported the tracking data too. it kinda works normal people won’t see it and it’s only a wedding video…. my problem is a combination of lack of ae knowledge plus I shot it really super wide angle which I feel effects the tracking… honestly thanks you guys for responding. anyone kno what someone would charge to create a clip like this if I provide the video file and choose a font?

yeah i was on my iphone but anyway i realized I have mocha already installed it seems kinda simple and cool it tracked the data but now my problem is getting the tracking data into ae and having it work properly. I downloaded a script from aepresents.com mochaimport but now i am going to try to figure out how to just copy and paste like you said…

I don’t know much about after effects only learned few things from video copilot. not too sure about moca. I used after effects had my video later then made seperate text layer for each letter, then created a null object tracked the rotation position and scale of video layer then applied that to null object, then used the pick whip and parented the text layers to the null. I think my problem is in the tracking points… I really need to kno how to setup the motion track. also what is moca all about?
