Post Description

In this course, Chris Meyer explores how to use the motion tracker and stabilizer built into After Effects and shows how to handle a variety of shots. The course includes a quick tour of the third-party software mocha and demonstrates the workflow for The Foundry's KEYLIGHT, both bundled with After Effects. The course also covers tracking a greenscreen shot with a handheld camera and replacing its background. Exercise files are included with the course.
