Hey, great tutorial’s, question is there a tutorial to put a logo on a field during a game ? Greetings from Belgium.

@BeyondTheGame_E 2 жыл бұрын

@@R3tr06Am3rS Si ton intention est de donner l'impression que le logo est imprimé sur le gazon alors que la camera est en constant mouvement, je doute que tu vas trouver un tutoriel spécifiquement pour ça. Mais dans le fond tu as juste besoin de faire du '3D tracking' et il y a plein de tutoriels disponibles sur ce sujet. Faire disparaitre le logo quand un joueur passe devant sera une autre paire de manche par contre. Tu devras faire beaucoup de 'masking' pour ça. En bout de ligne, c'est beaucoup plus compliqué de faire ça en post-production avec des logiciels classiques que de le faire live en studio télé avec des ordinateurs et logiciels bâtit spécifiquement pour cette tâche.

Technically yes. But the AE tracker won't do it all for you. You'll have to spend a lot of time (many hours) in AE manually tracking the player.

@DarkwingproductionsNet 3 жыл бұрын

On ESPN and Madden/NBA 2K, it seems like they get the tracker to appear underneath the player. I wonder how they do that? I guess you could mask the player out of the tracking graphic for each frame, but that sounds really labor intensive. Is there a better way?

@BeyondTheGame_E 3 жыл бұрын

On ESPN they use keying techniques with special software and plugins. Video games are a different ball game all together since there isn't any real cameras involved. Everything is built separately so putting something between a player and the ground is not an issue.

@@BeyondTheGame_E I think you could use Keylight to create a matte from the green field that you could use move it below the players. Great tutorial by the way. I've never used the 'Stop Tracker' feature. I've just had to figure out where the track went wrong manually haha -Brandon

I spent the weekend trying to shoot so soccer footage at my daughter's soccer game to make them some sort of hype videos like the football videos on my page. With the ever changing direction of play I have 4 games of very unstable seemingly unusable footage. What do you use or suggest for a fix? Beginner Zve10 Sony 70-200mm Sony 15-105mm Monopod That is my rooky set up

@BeyondTheGame_E 10 ай бұрын

It depends how big the shakes are. Most editing software have a stabilizing effect but it only works well on small shakes. Otherwise for future filming sessions, I would suggest to use a tripod instead of a monopd (more stable) and I would also suggest to film wider. The wider your shot is, the easier it is to be stable. Then as you get more and more comfortable, you can start shooting tighter and tighter.

Si le mouvement du cercle n'est pas exactement ce qu'il devrait être, tu peux toujours ajuster les 'position keyframes' créé par le tracker avant d'appuyer sur 'apply'. Sélectionne le keyframe (petit carré beige) sur l'image elle-même et repositionne le avec ta souris.
