(Pardon the bad acting)

Really cool tutorial. Easy and simple to understand. Keep up the good work.

Thanks!

I have followed the tutorial perfectly and it works!

Hi I'm trying to get this to work, and I really want it to work, cause i imagine I can use it for a thousand different projects...

My problem is "I think" the object that needs to be tracked. I have an elevator door, where I stand in the elevator and the doors will slide open to the right. I want to put a logo on the door, so it will slide to the right as well.. Also a second thing is I need a mask or something, cause the doors slide into the wall, thereby dissappearing...

I have done all the things the tutorial says, but the trackpoints are getting no good result. No Eyes in my footage or something, so will this even work with a shine elevator door? I have a scratch where I put my trackpoints, but it doesn't stick well... :(

Fantastic Andrew... thank you :)

Here's my Halloween creation...

Nice job you guys...Halloween around the corner...

you are probably the best I ever came across.

this website is like my church!...thanks you guys...specially andrew


peace

dear sir
this is very very great work
thanks.............. so much

thank you andrew and sam and the whole team of video co pilot and i am very greatfull to all of you

Dear Andrew,

First of all, thanks for being so clear on this topic; this really helps to understand the basics of the Tracking options.
I'm working on something similar as your example with the sunglasses, everything works exactly according to your tutorial.
Except…mine includes scale tracking as well... And...I've tried everything but that part won't work at all.
The problem: My footage stays zoomed in there where it should zoom out again. So instead of counting down from 100%, it adds up from there. Ok, this is how it supposed to be in the PreComp, but not in the final version.
This should be easy to fix I know, but so far no luck. I’ve tried to apply the comment *-1, like you did with the rotation expression, but you've guessed already...no luck there. The comment *100 -1 results in an error, off course...
Can you help me; make me see what I don’t see jet? I don’t think I need to manually fix every frame again to resize it, now do I?

Best regards,
Saskia

Cool tutorials, thanks!
Here is my try

nice have to learn this

here is what I made using the same technique

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGeLTz51U9I

Awesome tutorial this stabilizing/destabilizing is amazing! I had a question though. Is there a way to make it work for scaling? I tried adding the "*-1" to the end of the scale pick whip and the whole video was screwed up. Deleting the scale from each was the only way to get the normal results you have. If there is so way around making scale work that would be great. Thanks

I think the "Download Project" button is broken.

Thanks Andrew.

"I can't uncheck "leave all attributes" in precompose window even after I check the other option. Help me please, this is the only thing I'm missing to make this work."

Same here, Somebody know what would be the reason, is it a Bug or a Program Feature?

Hey great tutorial, but how do you do it in CS4, I recently got it and things like alt click don't bring up the parenting tools! Or maybe it's cos I have a mac, but could you please update it for CS4?
But all your're other tutorials are just great!

U re totally right, demons look best wearing sunglasses...lol!!!!.

tnx buddy your work is really AWESOME!!!!!!.

OMG thanks so much for your tutorials and products, they are the best!

I have a problem and need your help. I do not have the option for a 'Motion Track' palette :( Does anyone know where I can download this from? I have After Effects 7.0

Cheers guys

hi, amazing tutorial as always i only have one problem and if you could help that would be awsome, basically when I go to window- there is no option for tracking control however in the begining you metioned something about going to workspace motion tracking which i can select yet doesn't do the same thing, so can you please help by telling me another way i can find the tracking controls that would be great because as you say it's a VERY usful technique

Great tutorial sir!

Hey Andrew! Thanks for this very useful tutorial!!!
You are just BRILLIANT!!!

here is what i made>> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xfup2Sf0RzU THANKS TO YOU!!!!

not the best but hopefully not the worst one...

so thanks for everything!!!

My small brain did not understand that: Why reverse stabilizing? Why not just regular motion tracking, applaying data to null object and parenting the adjustment layer which we applied liquify? Why why why? I know you have an excellent reason.

thanks man....

Thank you very much XD

Good but it make me sad to see that you copied it from me ...

i made it in 2006. :(

Awesome, and a great introduction to what AE can do.

Anrew you are the most generous man on the planet

does anyone know how i could fix it
cheers

Hey,you didn't explain the zooming.. At the start of the tutorial camera actually zooms to the guy's face...

It's so cool,thanks very much!

This is awesome.. ><

going to download adobe directly

This is pretty cool, the only problem I'm having is animating the mask, I linked it to PreComp, but When I try to adjust it I get the Mask Path option instead of Mask Shape and it won't let me adjust the points. Does anyone know if there is a setting I need to change or something?

Great great great. Really clever shenanigans with the 'reverse stabilisation' process.

Thanks a million.

Nice job all !
Here is my version :

Hey,problem...everything on mine worked except after u pick whip or whatever it's called all the position, rotation *-1 and anchor point it is not centered on the project and is partially hidden in the top left corner. I followed everything pretty close so any idea of why this happened?

I think this was so cool I just wish he had showed doing the fangs too. Thank you Andrew

Love your stuff Andrew. This is the first tutorial that i watched and it got me hooked on AE. This is a viral i made for Red Nose Day (a charity day) here in England which happened to fall on Friday 13th this year -
