hey what's up ladies and gentlemen I'm Ignace Aleya from toleratedcinematics.com
and today it's yet another filmmaking Friday today we're going to
take a look on how to apply 3d text to a moving scene that we have shot I'll
actually give you that footage as well so you can follow along with my tutorial
using the exact same footage we will track that footage and apply a 3d layer
to it whether you're solving math writing in your diary this is an amazing
effect which has been used a ton of times and new series and movies it
visualizes what you're writing down doing in your smartphone who you're
texting to what you're writing on your computer it's a really nice way to spice
things up this technique was actually a very big struggle in the filmmaking
industry at first before they use this technique they were actually just
filming what the person was doing what are they were filming his screen of his
phone who he was texting to or what email he was writing they were just
going to be filming the screen writing that email which is a very very boring
way of showing it and now they changed it to really showing it on screen what's
happening so if you text someone you will see like this text bubble effect
which I actually did a tutorial on or actually linked that tutorial in this
video it's a really popular tutorial and it's really interesting effect as well
so it's really cool to really show the audience within the shot what's going on
instead of just showing them the boring image of the screen of your smartphone
or your computer and it also increases the detail of your shop which makes your
shop and visually just look more more fancy so it looks so much more detailed
and so much more professional immediately so it's so simple to do
alright so I actually use this technique in a video I produce for a
cryptocurrency investment group that I joined a while ago and then they got to
know me they hired me had to make a video for them as a promotion for their
channel so yes I do invest in cryptocurrencies and I do think they
have a very bright future ahead but I have no idea about trading or anything
about cryptocurrencies or which coins I should invest in so that's why I checked
out that group and they actually do all the work for you they advise you to buy
this or buy that trade what so ever I know my channel has nothing to do
with this kind of topic but I just wanted to let you know that I joined
that group and it's completely up to you if you join it or not they have a free
and premium group but they really helped me a lot with my investment so maybe
they might help you so I will show you that video first because I used a lot of
cool techniques in that video which I might be making tutorials off and then
after that video we get started
let's face it cryptocurrencies are the future investing in them is a great idea
but trading is extremely hard especially for starters there are so many options
on the market and making a bad decision happens very quickly the market evolves
rapidly and you don't have the time to track everything that's where we come in
we want you to make money not use we have a dedicated team that analyzes the
crypto market on a daily full-time basis we look at opportunities to buy and
cheap and sell high so you increase your wallets value on a daily basis until now
we have had a 99% success rate on our trading predictions and we only just
began our job is to keep your investments safe that's why we provide a

is more important to us than you might realize
it's our passion and we want to succeed with you join us and let's get rich
together
all right so I personally think that video looks really cool and this has
really not been sponsored on this YouTube channel to even put this video
out but I was so proud of the result I'm so happy with that group in which I
joined so I just wanted to take a few parts out of it make a tutorial on how
to create that and actually if you're interested in joining that group as well
I will put a link in the description where you can go ahead and check them
out it's actually a telegram group on your smartphone or desktop and also
before we start with the actual tutorial I wanted to let you know that we're
almost reaching 150,000 subscribers at this moment which means we're going to
end the giveaway we created in collaboration together with aperture
light we are giving away an amazing ring like which I'm using right now to record
myself it's an amazing line to put on your camera so if you haven't seen that
giveaway go and check that out first and make sure you're joined on time
there is nothing special you have to do to join so it's really worth and just
applying and you never know maybe you are the winner so we talked enough right
now so let's get to the point
if you enjoy my videos be sure to hit the subscribe button and hit the bell
icon to make sure that you get notified when I upload new videos alright so in
this video I will actually be showing you a few techniques well actually two
techniques on creating this effect one will be without plugins and one will be
with the trapcode particular plugin which is a particle system which is
really interesting in a Verity of things but especially in this one we can do a
very quick and easy way to apply like text or whatever into our scene but will
look on the no plugin version first so right here we are in Adobe After
Effects and I have this video footage of 10 seconds long I will actually give
that and with a link in the description so you can go ahead and download that as
well so I will drag this into a new composition like this then the first
thing that you want to do is you see that this shot is actually moving but we
also have an ya actor or actress in this case in our scene and what we want to do
is actually remove that there is not so much moving going on but just to be sure
if you have a different kind of shot it's always important to keep your
subject before you're going to start tracking your scene so what we will do
is go to the pen tool right here and then just click on your video and the
layer and then just select around your subject and there we go
so now we have this wheel press M on the keyboard and just set our mass between
none so we don't see anything and then we'll create a new stopwatch keyframe
for or mask path so right here we have a keyframe we'll go all the way to the end
of our timeline and then just move or mask a little bit and make sure that
everything is nicely in our mask so it'll just maybe adjust it a little bit
make sure that everything is nicely tucked in here so we have our mask
perfect okay so what we will do now is actually subtracted to go to the mask
and click over here and subtract our subject from our shot just like it so
now we only have our background information after that we'll click on
our layer and go to layer and pre-compose it and move all the
attributes into a new composition we'll rename this to track
and then click okay and then go to the tracker right here and just click on
track camera here will also change one simple thing go to the advanced step and
just check on detailed analysis let it do its thing and once it's strike down
we're actually almost done it's so simple all right so it's dumb trekking
let's continue as you can see after trekking we have a bunch of dots like
these and we will be using them as a reference for our text but before we
continue we'll jump into the composition that we just created and click on the
empty key on your keyboard and just set your mask back to none so we actually
see our subject again go back to our track child and now you will see that
our dots are just not going to appear on top of your subject they're not going to
look here to actually get these yes steady dot set so right here as we can
see everything has been tracked very well what we will do is actually click
over here or actually select a few of these dots and right click and create a
null and a camera ok so after you've done that we will create a text like
just click on your text tool and write whatever so maybe you're writing in your
diary so writing in the diary today we're going to write something down and
actually what you can do is make a bunch of texts with different kind of words so
I'm going to be writing about tolerated cinematics calm which I hear is an
amazing website for motion graphics and filmmaking artists so go and check it
out with a link in the description and so alright so shameless advertisement
for our website but what you can do now is make a bunch of text layers so put
some here put some here there we go we have a bunch of text just do your thing
until you're done with your texts and then we'll shift select all of the text
layers in our composition and then just toggle the switches until you see this
row right here where we can actually make these a 3d layer then what we want
to do is press B on the keyboard to reveal the position of our text and
click on the tracked no now and press B on the keyboard you'll see
that our position right here is around three thousand four hundred thirty sort
will do is actually select all of our text layers and just set it at the same
Z depth and like her nil right here so at three thousand four hundred thirty
and plus minus and now we can actually pull it back a little bit because the
space has a little bit of depth to it so we can't play around with it it's not a
big deal so right here we have our text I will actually go ahead and move it
around maybe we can press s on a keyboard first and just make it bigger
so satisfied maybe you can go ahead and give them some variation of size so play
around with that as well maybe you have a bigger one right here we can also go
ahead and select all of them again press p on the keyboard and also give them a
random Z depth right here so maybe some are very close to the camera and if you
are maybe even farther away from the camera so play around with a little bit
of variation in here and and there we go so we have our text we'll move it around
and just like this move them over your yeah complete screen here just like this
and because we actually made these layers already 3d if we're going to play
this back it's going to be tracked in immediately so that's all we have to do
to make our text fit into our scenes right here we can see it's perfectly
tracked towards our scene so and it's a very cool movement that we're going to
have here and the closer to the camera and more movement is going to pick up
for example I did stutter a little bit with my camera you're going to notice
that right here in this text but if we're going to use a gimbal or a slider
or something different and that will always help so right here we have this
looks pretty cool also what I like to do is actually select all of my layers and
press T on the keyboard and just remote lower the opacity something like 85
that's going to give it a little bit of a transparency and that's going to allow
some colors of this scene to come true and therefore and the text is going to
integrate better within our scene and it's going to look better composited
together so apart from that we can to go to our Trek camera so click on
your camera layer and press a twice on the keyboard this is going to reveal all
the settings of our camera right here you will see that you have a depth of
field currently set to OFF if we're going to turn this on it's going to
allow us to create a shallow depth of field which you might also notice with
your cameras and that the background is kind of blurred out and this also gives
it a really cool look a little bit more realistic in my opinion we can change
the aperture to something like 250 and then we can play around with the focus
distance maybe increase it or lower it and you're going to notice that some are
going to be in focus and some are not and the more you're going to increase
your aperture the more depth we're going to create here so it's actually
something like your f-stop on your camera so this is pretty cool we can add
a few more texts maybe yeah we can click on this text and duplicate it put it
right here and put it a little bit more into the distance so we have a blurred
out text right here which is pretty cool to have in your scene and there we go so
we have it entirely done already now what you can do as well as select your
text layers and go to the beginning of your yeah of your timeline press p on
the keyboard and click on the stopwatch for e position move a little bit forward
and maybe want to move your text towards the camera like the audience's like it's
kind of dragging towards the audience and then just put these keyframes at the
end and that we are going to get a few a little bit of an animation in your text
now what you can do as well is apply some kind of fading effect which is
actually I will be using something of an upcoming a text animation pack and that
we will be creating and will be available on our website as soon as
possible that we're currently working on it so it's not available yet but I'll
just be using one of these for example a word blur in
and now you can go ahead and maybe offset these layers as well a little bit
like this
and over time they're actually going to fade in but they're going to be like
blurred and then come to a nice sharp fade in which i think is a really cool
effect for a fade and off text and as you can
see looks pretty cool okay super so another thing that we can do is use the
particle system that we talked about in the beginning of this video and very
simply we're going to delete our text here and go and create a new particle
system so create a new solid layer and rename it articles click OK and go to
effects RG trapcode particular and there we go now we have our particles right
here but as you can see they're also blurred up because our particle system
is actually a too far into distance or too close and depends on our shop but
what we can do is open up our emitter master and change our medic type to a
box and also remove the velocity to zero now we're going to increase our emitter
size in Z by a lot so maybe something like five thousand and there we go now
you're going to start noticing that some keep about some particles are sharp and
some are not they're out of focus we can go ahead into our particle tab and also
randomize the size to 100 and also increase the life to something like five
then we can go into the opacity over life and actually take a preset like
this one here so they actually fade in and come to a 100 passage and then just
fade out so now we have our particles in our scene but of course we don't want
particles we want text or anything maybe for example you can go ahead and scan
some mad solutions that you put on paper and then just make it black and white
and then key these out in the blending mode you can actually put like math and
solutions in your screen but it'll keep it simple and go and create a new
composition and rename this to text particles and click OK
I'll create I click on my text tool and click over here
writing in the diary today I will click and align this to the center move one
frame with page down key and actually I'm going to zoom in here one frame and
I'm going to split my layer right click course edit split layer right here or
ctrl shift D and then we want to maybe change it I've visited an amazing
website one frame forward tolerated cinematix dot-com one frame forward
they sell motion graphics one frame for it
split it templates and much more it's simply amazing and there we go so we
have a few texts and again some advertisement hey I'm making a free
tutorial I'm allowed to do this so we're going to trim to come to work area and
now we have just one frame well on each frame we have a different kind of text
going on so this looks pretty okay and now we'll go back to our main
composition and we're going to drag in our text particles to our composition
we'll uncheck this so we don't see on this layer so it's just invisible
actually we're going to use this as a source for our particles so click on
your particle layer and go to effects controls and then go to your particle
tab right here and instead of a sphere we are going to be using sprite fill and
here we can open the texture tab and just choose one of our layers which is
going to be our text particles click OK and ok again and there we go so and it
should have been loaded all we have to do is increase the size until we see
them
there we go we have our text of course you can go ahead add more particle text
randomize the size a little bit more this is just simply a example on how to
do it but there we go we already have our text and then all you have to do is
time sampling random still-frame and it's going to pick one of the frames
randomly and hold it still so we have an image of that frame and use this as a
particle and immediately if we're going to use this and preview this actually
I'm going to spawn a few less particles so it renders a little bit a little bit
faster something like maybe 50 when do we click preview we can also go over
here and go to the physics tab and maybe go to the air tab and put the wind
direction and a negative value and that way they're actually going to fly
towards the camera you can play around with all these dynamics really cool but
yeah alright so that's it for this video I hope you enjoyed it if you did give
