Titles Motion Tracking Glitch

I'm using Premiere Pro CS5.5, and every time I try to generate a motion video effect on a title it goes wrong. I want the title to slide quickly in from off-screen, continue to drift slowly across, then slide quickly off-screen again. the quick slides in and out work fine, however the slow drift is what never works. I set the keyframes at each end of the movement with the start and end position where i want, but rather than simply gliding from one position to the next, the title bounces back and forth between the two keyframes.
How do i correct this?!

Some times i get motion glitches that I am not able to determine why the motion is happening other then remenants of previous key frames that I have deleted. I fix my glitches by deleting even more key frames and then reapplying what I am looking for. What if you delete your key frames either side, then reapply - or create a duplicate sequence or title, and redo your title motion? Unless your 'every time' means you have exhausted my method described all ready.

  • Motion tracking titles in Premiere Pro CC 2014?

    I love the addition of motion tracking to effects in Premiere CC 2014 — but does anyone have a way of using them to track a clip (in my case a title)? I've got a promotional mini-doc I'm working on for a client, and have nice little animated titles popping up next to interview subjects (no lower thirds because there will be subtitles). I think pinning those to a visual element in the background would look great.
    I tried putting a garbage matte as an effect on the title, then turning on the tracking feature, and creating a box around the item I wanted the title to track to. No dice.
    Anyone have any suggestions, or do I need to go through third party software for this to work?

    Hi misidunai,
    Use the 3D Camera Tracker in After Effects. Check out this video tutorial.
    Thanks,

  • Motion tracking in PE12

    How can I only get text to show during motion tracking? - I don't want the animation which is included!

    On what Premiere Elements version?
    I am talking specifically about your second option for this Premiere Elements 12 Motion Tracking question....
    The other option is to create the title BEFORE you do your set up your Motion Tracking, and then just drag it from the Project Assets panel onto your Track Object.
    I see no opportunity to get to Project Assets to get at the title/text without shutting down the Motion Tracking workspace. But, if you insist it can be done, we will give it another look with Premiere Elements 12 on Windows 7 64 bit.
    One alternative that does work (that you did not mention) was
    a. create a text title
    b. save the text as a .prtl file
    c. place the saved .prtl file in the path
    Local Disc C
    Program Files
    Adobe
    Adobe Premiere Elements 12
    Clip Arts
    Common
    and in the Common Folder place a folder named something like My Text, with My Text Folder containing the .prtl file.
    That My Text category and the text file in it will show up in Graphics from which you can drag the text to the screen at the appropriate prompt in Motion Tracking scheme. In this approach, the text becomes a permanent and reusable resource under the Graphics Tab.

  • Exporting Motion Tracking (Becomes Out Of Position)

    Exactly like the title says, I am motion tracking a logo out of my clip by using simple motion tracking.  The shot is a bit shakey but the tracker does a pretty good job, then afterwards to be certian I am going through frame by frame to ensure the entire logo is blurred out.  (Its fairly big). And doing minor adjustments if need be. 
    After rendering the clip in my composition window and watching it, its plays through nicely, exacly how I want it. 
    The I hit (Command M) to "Make Movie" and render my clip out.  I use "Best Settings" and render it out, the issue here is that when it is rendering, my blur becomes out of place and does NOT follow the logo like it should be.  It jumps around, it dosent completely leave the logo, and jump all over the screen, but it makes the logo clealy visible. But it somewhat follows the logo across the screen in a horizintal matter, but does not stay in place like how the motion tracker/I set it to be.
    This is weird to me because I have blurred out several things in the film using the same method already, and for some reason this one is just not working. 
    I am on MAC OSX 10.9.2
    Running Creative Suite CS5
    Any ideas!?
    Thanks Much
    Dayln Girard

    If you use MP rendering, turn it off, especially if you have linked tracking positions via expressions. Otehrwise you may wish to check what you actualyl adjusted - the search region or the feature center. Mixing them up may mess with how the coordinates are calculated.

  • How to motion track footage onto other footage

    not sure if my title is worded right but I have footage of a bus driving by with an advertisement on the side.. I want to take some footage I have of myself and put it on the bus advertisement in the other footage using motion tracking.

    Any normal corner pin tutorial will explain it and in fact one of the basic tutorials for mocha AE covers tracking a poster onto a London city bus...

    I am trying to use motion tracking to have text follow a section of the background.The text box follows the motion path, but the text just sits there.  What am I doing wrong?

    Motion basically looks at the the source footage and it's timing (in the timing section of the Inspector) when analyzing for tracking.  Filters are basically ignored by the tracker.  Retiming actions, like time re-mapping, or retiming behaviors that are applied before the tracker should be used by the tracker.  Did you change the timing after doing the tracking?  If so this would also require you to re-track the shot.  Understanding that you found a workaround, describing the effects you applied would help to explain why you ran into problems.
    Cheers!

  • Possible to do the 3d motion tracking text in video with only adobe products?

    I am very interested in doing some 3d text in some video with motion tracking, such as you see in the opening shots in the show Fringe.
    You will have a scene of maybe a street in the city, the camera is looking forward and moving, you have 3d block text that seems to be just hovering there up off the ground but looks like a real physical 3d object in the shot as the camera moves around.
    I have been looking up tutorials for this in After effects on youtube but they always use other non adobe products as well such as boujou or 3ds max,  I am wondering if it is possible to make the same shot with only adobe products. If so, what whould I use other than after effects.  And lastly, can anyone point me to a good free tutorial using only adobe programs if there is one out there?
    I have seen one video of someone adding text to a moving video but it was flat or plastered onto a wall and not the nice block letters that look like a sculpture in the video.
    Thanks.

    I am wondering if it is possible to make the same shot with only adobe products.
    No, you can't and that settles all your other questions. For tutorials, refer to VideoCoPilot's matchmoving and set extension stuff, but even then you will need to at least use some comemrcial third-party plug-ins.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I checked the link that I posted back in post 3 of your thread. It is working with at least Firefox and Chrome.
    ATR Premiere Elements Troubleshooting: PE12: Motion Tracking/What To Use To Track Object?
    What browser are you using?
    The blog post contains significant information related to Premiere Elements 12 Motion Tracking. But, if you cannot access it for some reason, then we will need to troubleshoot via communications in the thread.
    SG has asked if you are able to create Motion Tracking effect using one of the graphics included with the program. We will watch for your response to him on that question. Please include in your message to him whether you can obtain your file to track the object using Organizer Tab or Project Assets routes as well as Graphics Tab.
    The following is an excerpt from the blog post referenced....
    SOLUTION
    Various tutorials and online comments have pointed to places other than Graphics Tab where objects can be selected and used to track the moving object in the video when the Motion Tracking workspace is opened in the Expert or Quick workspace.
    Organizer Tab, Expert or Quick workspace to access Elements Organizer 12. Cascade Windows and drag a video or photo from Elements Organizer into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
    Project Assets, Expert workspace. Drag text, video, or photos from opened Project Assets into the yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.
    Graphics Tab, Expert or Quick workspace. Create a png file (graphic) or prtl file (text) and place it in Clip Arts in the Program Files of the program to have a permanent resource. Then from Graphics Tab, drag the newly created graphic or text object into yellow track box of Motion Tracking workspace.

  • Wrong CD Title and Tracks

    When I insert a particular CD into my laptop, it shows up on my desktop and in my iTunes library with an incorrect title and track names.
    It's a bootleg I'm trying to import, so has no Gracenote relevance, and is erroneously titled after an trumpet audition CD my son made which is also in my iTunes library.
    Any ideas why a completely foreign CD inserted into my MacBook would conjure up an irrelevant title and tracks?
    Thanks,
    John

    MaxaMillion,
    Thanks for the clarification - it looks like we are working on the same problem, after all. Many people believe seeing the generic -"track 1" - "track 2" - titles on a CD indicates some kind of failure by iTunes, so when I read your post, I (mistakenly) thought you were confusing that "problem" with the not-generic-but-not-correct-title-problem already under discussion in this thread. I apologize for any misunderstanding on my part
    Like you, I believe the problem is probably a corrupt "CD Info.cidb" file.
    And like you, I am trying to understand how this process works. However, we seem to understand the process - differently.
    You say:
    "The CD burner is supposed to burn that info onto the disk itself so it can be read correctly in other computers."
    That is contradicted in the Apple article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93952 which says:
    "The CD and track names are not burned anywhere onto the CD itself."
    Yet, you also say you were able to burn a CD which: "Played in other computers and everything was ok." - Which I interpret to mean you burned a CD on computer A which had a track named "xyz", then put the CD in computer B which correctly showed the track as "xyz" - is that correct???
    . . . so I am trying to reconcile these contradictory statements - you seem to have succeeded in doing something which Apple (and many others posting to these discussions say is not possible.
    I believe I may have an explanation for your apparent success. The method you used to make the CD - that is, using the Finder and NOT iTunes - makes a DATA disc - not an AUDIO CD.
    If you selected an .mp3 file - and it was still an .mp3 file on the new CD, that would be significant - and would prove my theory. Standard audio CDs always have only type of files on them - .aiff.
    If you had used iTunes to burn the CD, then iTunes would have converted the mp3 file to the .aiff format in the burning process, and the finished CD would conform to the audio standard (which your data disc does not). When Apple says: "The CD and track names are not burned anywhere onto the CD itself" - they are talking about audio CDs, not data CDs.
    Data discs do have the track names burned to the disc and those track titles can be read by any computer - but the files cannot be read by many older audio units - like the one in your car or home stereo system (if it does not say "MP3 Compatable" on the front of the deck, I doubt if your data CD will play).
    Does this make sense?

  • Motion tracking effect mask not working

    I've no trouble with normal motion tracking, adding clip art to it and having the clip art track, etc. But according to the help in PE8, effects masks are also supposed to be able to be used. According to help:
    You can also apply Effects Mask in the Motion Tracking mode.
    1. Select a clip in the Timeline or Sceneline.
    2. Select the clip, and click  to enable the Motion Tracking mode.
    3. Select any one of the tracked objects (shown by a yellow frame).
    4. Select Edit > Effects.
    5. Drag the effect you want to apply onto the tracked object on the Monitor panel.
    The Effects Mask is applied automatically and the mask moves with the moving object. If you apply multiple effects to the clip, all the effects use the same mask.
    I've done that and I get a mask but it does not move with the tracked object. Any hints?

  • Is there a good motion tracking plug-in for FCP-X?

    The question is in the headline:  Is there a good motion tracking plug-in for FCP-X?
    You know, like when I want to blur out, say, a license plate number on a moving car.
    I know of no plug-ins for FCP-X that will do this.  Surely there's one out there.
    And since you can't just export a sequence to Motion (like you could in FCP 7), how would one achieve this in FCP-X?

    R&B wrote:
    … And since you can't just export a sequence to Motion …
    instead of selecting a clip or sequence in FCPX, you set the in/out points in the Export/Send it to Compressor dialog.
    the exported mov can be tracked in Motion5 …-
    aaaand finally re-imported into FCPX.
    … not exactly as convenient as in the old FC/p , but the tracker in M5 offers, imho as a hobbyist, superb results.-

  • 3D Motion Tracking Error/Crash in progress [Urgent Help Please!]

    Hey there!
    I'm an video editor and I use 3D Motion Tracking a lot but recently every time I use it, it comes up with an error and says crash in progress,
    It never used to do it and I can't seem to find any solutions to fix it.
    Computer Specs:
    Manufacturer: Toshiba
    Model: Notebook
    Processor: AMD E1-2100 APU with Radeon(TM) HD Graphics 1.00 GHz
    Installed Memory: 4.00 GB (3.45 GB Usable)
    System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64-based processor
    So here's how I get to the problem. (I'll try provide as much detail as possible)
    I import a mp4/avi file into After Effects,
    Create a new composition with:
    1280 x 720 (16:9)
    Frame Rate = 30
    Duration = 30 seconds
    Resolution = Third
    Advanced
    Renderer = Classic 3D
    (Boxes Underneath all unchecked)
    Options:
    Shadow Map Resolution = Comp Size
    Motion Blur:
    Shutter Angle = 180 Degrees
    Shutter Phrase = -90 Degrees
    Samples Per Frame = 16
    Adaptive Sample Limit = 128
       3.  Drag the mp4/avi into the composition to use it. (1.21 Seconds Long)
       4.  Right click on it and go to Effect > Perspective > 3D Camera Tracker
       5.  The 3D Camera Tracker initializes with these settings:
    Shot type = Fixed Angle of View
    Show Track Points = 3D Solved
    Track Point Size = 100.0%
    Target Size = 100.0%
       6.   Loads Frames 0% > 100% then as soon as the orange line shows up with Solving camera it shows this,
       and when I click okay it shows this,
       and then finally this,
       and then it crashes. that's the same process every time and it still comes up with this.
       Help would be appreciated !
       Thank you !

    Try rendering an image sequence from your original footage then load that into AE and Camera Track the image sequence. Use the AME to or AE to render a JPEG or PNG image sequence:
    It's important to know that some footage cannot be Camera Tracked. In order for camera tracking to work there must be a significant amount of fixed geometry in the scene. For example, if you have a shot of open water like this it cannot be Camera Tracked:
    This shot also cannot be camera tracked successfully because most of the frame is moving:
    If transcoding or converting the shot to an image sequence does not fix the problem and you don't get a frame rate mis match warning then you could have possibly not given enough memory to other applications in you memory and multi processor settings. Keep memory allocation for other apps in even numbers and make sure that you have not starved the dynamic link server that does camera tracking. If you have the memory 4GB to other apps is absolutely the minimum. If you only have 4GB then give 2 to AE and 2 to other apps.

  • Help with Motion Tracking and Masking?

    Hi. First and probably only post here. I've got a bit of an issue....
    I'm trying to create "snapshots" in my video that are created from masks which are then motion tracked and remain stationary. Here's a video of what i'm talking about... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OhVAduuJc8
    The problem I'm running into is that after i motion track the layer, select a null object as the target, duplicate the video layer, mask the object, freeze frame, and pair it to a null layer, the object does not remain stationary as the ones in the video do. Instead it moves WITH the null object and I cant figure out why. I've gotten a tutorial from the guy who made the video, however it's private so i don't know if you guys will be able to see it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zY0QLrMCcGM
    Either way, i followed the tutorial exactly and still to no avail. Are my settings messed up or what exactly is going on? Ive successfully done this project before but now that i'm using CS5, i'm running into these issues. If anyone has any advice i'd gladly try it out and return with the results.
    Thanks so much for trying to help me out.

    Yeah the null is still moving. Will freezing it lock the mask into place while still allowing the footage to play through? And how would i go about "freezing the null"?
    I just dont understand how this person does it in the tutorial, and the mask remains in place. I know you probably can't watch the tutorial cause the user has it set as private, but as far i know his mask stays in place, but uses the null (while still moving) as a tracking device to keep the mask from floating out of control as the camera moves through the shot.
    Sorry if I'm making this rather confusing. It's difficult to explain.
    Maybe it might be easier to explain how you would obtain the result from the video I've posted? Keep in mind I dont have CameraTracker.

  • Problem with motion tracking

    I have Premiere Elements 12 64 bit on a windows 8 machine. I am trying to use the motion tracking feature. I am able to select an object to track and the resulting yellow rectangle follows the object as it moves through the scene. The problem I have occurs when I try to attach a graphic to the item being tracked; the graphic will not anchor itself to the yellow rectangle when dragged onto it, the rectangle does not turn blue. It appears the graphic is added as a static layer and does not follow the object. I have tried it using various video formats with the same result.

    mac2474
    Thanks for the demo. Very helpful.
    I am still not sure if it is the lack of contrast that is not giving you the best results. I tried to use a model with a light gray object to be tracked against a light blue background. Or, if it is those speech bubbles in contrast to other graphic types that are creating problems.
    But, it is more than that. You did not see that yellow/orange box turn blue when you approached it with the speech bubble.
    I found essentially one on one tracking when I used other than speech bubbles. But, whether speech bubbles or not, my yellow/orange box turned blue with the approach of the speech bubble or other graphic.
    Here is what I would like you to try
    a. Repeat what you did, but do not use the speech bubble. Use one of the other graphics under Graphics, maybe the carrot.
    b. Repeat what you did , but use as source an object with more contrast against its background.
    The main thing we have to work on is getting the yellow/orange to blue change as an indicator of what is supposed to be happening. Also, just back tracking to correct is not enough. If a try does not work, start with newly imported files to avoid any unexpected variables until we work out the situation.
    Thanks.

  • Motion Tracking?

    I am using Motion 2.1.2 and I want to stabilize a shaky zoom.
    I found this video on stabilizing non-zooming footage:
    http://www.geniusdv.com/newsand_tutorials/2010/03/image_stabilization_and_tracking_with_applemotion.php
    but when I went to 'Add Behavior' there wasn't any 'Motion Tracking' option in the drop down window.
    Is my version of Motion too old to be able to perform this function?

    Okay, thanks for the info. Is there any substitute method of doing this type of thing in one of the
    Final Cut Studio programs that come in the package, or do I need to go out and buy Motion 3?
    Is there a way to upgrade the version I have?
