Andrew, This is a great tutorial. I've been using AE for 12 years and this is the first time I've been exposed to motion tracking. I'm doing well with motion tracking but when I try to use the "pick whip" to track the mask, I get lost. Something about when you dbbl clicked precompface, another timeline appeared. I'm using CS4. I've been stuck on this for days. I've tried everything I can think of. While this is being moderated, do the moderators know the answer?

Hey Andrew,

First and foremost you are an excellent mentor and teacher of visual effects. Do you have plans to reshoot your tutorials being that most of us should be on CS6 and there are some new and different things that should be updated. For example you no longer need to hit ALT and double-click..now you just double click...thanks for all of your help!

I've still got a lot of black space around my video after pick-whipping all the values. How do I fix this?

Just wanted to say a HUGE thank you to Andrew and videocopilot.net - these tutorials are so great. I never normally comment on stuff, but these things go above and beyond so I felt obliged to express my appreciation for all your hard work. Keep 'em comin'! Thank you, so much!

It doesn't work, this tutorial is very bad. Don't do it.

11/17/2012

Yes that is bull****, the correction of the camera doesn't work. I lost my time.

12/05/2012

You would have lost more time if you had tried to do it all alone sucker....people are never happy, these tutorials are great and very usefull.

This is not a video effect, it is real

thats cool i lick it

Great tutorial but it just skips over tracking scale. In my video I have my actor moving toward the camera making the scream. As such, scale is enlarged as the actor moves forward. Does anyone know how to fix this and make the liquify and color correction effects "stick" to the face and enlarge in scale with this forward movement? It would be no fun to just COPY what Andrew has already done here, so we're trying to be creative. Ive tried pick whipping scale to scale (didnt work), scale to scale with expression *-1 (also didnt work) - Im sure someone wants to also be creative and try this (its being used in the movie Paranormal Activity 4) So lets get our heads together and figure this out so its not some industry secret.

01/06/2013

You were actually pretty close with making the scale -1. In a sense that should work, but when the scale is 50, that will give you -150 for the counter scale, when what would actually counter it is 200. Try this:

(100/pick-whip scale)*100

So 100 divided by 50 is 2, and 2 times 100 is 200.

If you have some problem to stabilize , make your stabalized layer a 3d layer, and add a camera to the comp and parent it to the stabalized layer

06/11/2012

awsome video !!!

Like the demon with glasses

Hello Andrew,

I have a shot that i stabilized with position, rotation AND scale. I've parented the position to the Anchor point, the rotation to the rotation *-1 and the anchor point to the position. All is left now is the scale. How would I go about that?

Hi Andrew,

You can check out my "sleepwalker web series" over on my youtube channel.
Please let me know what you think.
