hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya and today I'm gonna show
you how to create 3d track text in your scene but let's take it a step further
and just make it a little bit more integrated in the scene by using some
foreground elements in front of your text just like this
all that in Adobe After Effects after this
all right so if you enjoyed watching my intro and you want an intro for your own
I do have a shorter version of my intro that just looks like and you can
customize the colors and it's a template for After Effects and Premiere Pro which
is completely for free so you can download it entirely for free with link
in the description below apart from that let's jump into Adobe
After Effects alright so here we are and it'll be After Effects and as you can
see I have this video file prepared an aerial video of a foggy island it's an
amazing video clip and I actually got it from pixels which is a website that
gives you free images and videos without royalty yeah
strings attached to it so I'm open to use this image so that's why I thought
shot at giving them a short shot at would be nice because you can find
amazing images and video there for your own work so um yeah this has not been
sponsored it's just something a nice website with a free to use stock footage
wish I honestly need in my tutorials because otherwise I would always need to
film something myself and yeah you gotta admit filming something like this would
be quite hard so I have my video file and what I will do is just drag it in a
new composition so it copies all these settings here and I will just kind of
drag through it when we're in kind of good motion like right over here and
then I would or actually right over here and then move forward until we pass the
mountain right here so I'm going to trim the come to work area I'm actually doing
this by hitting B and and so that's how I make my selection of my composition
and right click trim work to a trim comp to work area and then we have a new
timeline that is fraction shorter so the next thing that I want to do is
implement my text in here and to do that we first need to track our scene in our
tree order so we will click on our scene and go to the track panel right here if
you don't see that you can go over to window tracker and I will just click on
track camera if you want you can also open up the Advanced tab right here and
check for a detailed analysis that will just make
a little bit will take more time to analyze the scene but will most likely
give you more dots to work with and yeah if you have a harder scene I just always
click it just to be sure that everything is well done before we continue this
video I would like to present you our website designed for filmmakers and
video editors to improve their workflow we offer templates presets high-quality
pre-made packs soundscapes essential graphics and much more if you
don't have time to create something of your own or you just want to speed up
your workflow definitely check out our website with a link in the description
below ok so once it's done tracking your scene you will see a bunch of dots if
you don't see them make sure that your footage has been selected and also the
effect here because if we deselect the effect we won't see our dots here so we
see that if we scroll true are seeing that the dots are attached to all these
yeah kind of tracking points where they find it it's not automatically so yeah I
think we could work with these over here so what I'll do is just uh kind of
search over here right click and create a new text and camera of course the text
will be put on the ground so now we have a 3d text over there which is nice but
we don't need that kind of text so we'll go and click on our text layer first of
all I'm going to change my color here so we have a nice text color and I'm going
to press R on the keyboard and also hold shift and press B on the keyboard so we
have both the rotation and the position available here so I will reset my
orientation to zero for everything so now we have a normal text and then I'll
go over here to the X positioning and just move it over to the right maybe
also move it up in the sky there we go and then maybe we can also put it a
little bit back not too much
okay there we go and then we can resize our text of course and maybe give it a
name okay so I wrote down subscribe for more which is what you should do if you
enjoyed watching this video and also check the belacan so you get notified
when I upload new videos we make a bunch of filmmaking tutorials from premiere to
off your effects to filmmaking itself so yeah a little bit of a shameless kind of
had in the video but yeah would be nice so we have our subscribe for more right
here and as you can see immediately it actually works out out of the bat so we
just have a few things we want to do and actually the way I make my titles look a
little bit more advanced is when you play with depth in your titles so we'll
do that by clicking on our video layer and duplicate it and bring it on top
here then go to the beginning of the timeline and actually click on your
layer and just actually find a position when you start seeing this in the corner
so we'll start over here so trim or video clip to there double click on it
and click on the rotation or the rotobrush tool right here so we'll go
and just drag over here something like that should work okay it's quite hard to
see actually but once you get a little bit farther like right here I'm going to
hold shift and press the page down key and then again I'm going to just draw
around this mountain just so we can actually use this as an overlay so again
ten prints forward
and there we go we can trim this over here perfect
okay I think everything seems alright so what I'll do now is just click on the
freeze button here and that will freeze my roto and that I just did in my video
so as you can see right here it's doing an animation it doesn't have to be
perfect as you can see we just wanted to be able to cover our text up so we'll
see how that goes I did a I did a quite a pretty quick job of course you can
take more time if you want more perfection in there but it's going to be
barely noticeable anyway so okay there we go so now what we want to do is go
back to our composition itself and as you can see because this layer is on top
of our text we're actually covering up our text and this is going to bring
depth into our scene so this is really cool so another thing we can do is play
a little bit more with the design of our text we can for example duplicate our
text press p on the keyboard and kind of move it up front if you want
to and kind of switch the color so we have a stroke in the front maybe we want
to click on our title itself and press T on the keyboard lower the opacity a
little bit so we have something more to see and true and it's also going to fit
a little bit better with the colors of the scenes so then we're going to click
on this new layer that we just created with the stroke around our text and we
can toggle the switches here and change the blending mode maybe to an additive
or maybe an overlay it's completely up to you you can play around with
everything here and duplicate it again maybe and again press B on the keyboard
and kind of move it in z space and to create this kind of cool fun depth look
you can click on everything and maybe move it a little bit more up or actually
rotate it a little bit more towards the camera because now I'm not quite
following it here okay
we can duplicate it again I maybe move it in the different direction here in
the back we can also duplicate our original text maybe and also bring it
back a little bit just a bit a little bit and then change the color to
something darker so we can use our pick with that tool to use a core from the
background maybe a shadow color and then you're going to start seeing these kind
of edges here which is also pretty cool okay so and there you start designing
your text in a very unique way so it's completely up to you of course but I
just wanted to show your demonstrate to you what possibilities are and again
here I did a problem I have a problem with you wrote a brush it didn't end up
filling everything so we have to and freeze this and kind of extend the
rotobrush here and so that it will calculate all the scenes you see this
kind of arrow kind of secondary timeline which is what the selection will cover
when we can freeze it again
there we go so now we fixed that problem and so really cool with these kind of
clouds in the background smoke this fog and in the air it's an amazing shot and
this with this unique title that we just tracked into our scene is also really
cool we can try and kind of yeah kind of make these invisible or actually lower
the opacity even more and make it a little bit more unique so this is going
to be harder to read of course we just play around with everything and yeah get
some unique results look at other kind of similar effects from movies and try
to em and try to recreate them in Adobe After Effects you know how to do it now
and so now it's completely up to you I can also animate your text as a final
thing in our scene we can press here select everything for a spill on the
keyboard and click on the stopwatch right here so here we want our text to
be visible and we can also press T on the keyboard hold shift and press P so
we have both of these in our scene click on the stopwatch for your passed yet the
exact same spot go a little bit back and kind of go back in space and change
the opacity to zero and now we have this kind of animation
that it's shooting out we can also select our last keyframes and right
click and go to keyframe assistance easy ease and we can click here on the graph
editor and kind of and drag this if we zoom in a little bit this thing here
more to the left so it's a slower stop a very subtle stop which is really cool
and then lastly we want to kind of add some motion blur while this movement is
going on so we'll toggle the switches and select
all our layers click on this stop motion well what I mean seeing motion blur I
can and also enable the motion blur for the scene itself and then you will see
this kind of motion blur this the text shooting out and trading some really
cool effects so ooh ok really cool all right so that's it for this video I hope
