Really fun track. Enjoy!

I played 9 holes there and had 1 hole in one and no birdies for the rest of the day lol

@@DerekLesterGolfnot like that. Like a fade out look. Like a cross dissolve fade out.

You can either toggle key frames to animate the opacity under stroke from 100% to 0 to make the line fade or you can animate the stroke width to 0 with key frames as well.

I’ve had that issue from time to time. I’m not 100% sure but it has something to do with how the scene gets solved. I USUALLY remedy it by using a longer clip with some more movement. It’s like after the area of movement is solved, it creates a viewer window and it’s well within the actual work area.

@@DerekLesterGolf I figured out the fix for this. On the 3D shape layer you need to change the orientation values a bit until after effects lets you place a new point. It seems like there are limits of the 3d camera angles that prevents you from placing new points in certain areas of footage unless the camera orientation is repositioned.

It’s the part at the beginning I was trying to explain. There has to be some movement from the camera so it can determine depth. It’s possible the clip you chose might not be long enough, or maybe there isn’t enough movement in the footage for the program to determine the distance from all the objects.

@Derek Lester Golf there is plenty of movement. I've done all the steps but now I can't seem to select the correct render point.

@@DerekLesterGolf no matter what I do the shape layer just does not want to stay put. moves with the cam movement

@@ASliceADay hmmm. Without seeing the footage and your process, it’s difficult to guess what the issue is. As long as you followed the tutorial and made sure to copy the location of the 3D object, and it’s in the same spot as the track point you selected, then it should give you at least an attempt to track. If you want to e mail me the the clip in question I can take a look at it and see what happens when I try the same thing.

@@DerekLesterGolf I can do that! what's the email

It's in the works. Just have to find the time to make it a reality. I got a pretty big backlog at the moment.

Aerial view is a video someone else made of oglebay via drone. I use a GoPro hero 9 black.

I am not sir. I’m from the metro Charleston area but I go to wheeling every year for a boys trip.

@@DerekLesterGolf heck ya my friends family is from there. Not much here besides oglebay lol. Goodluck w the golf season and channel! Just randomly popped on my feed on my way home from work

I think if Golf and hanging with the boys is your sole focus then Oglebay is great. There is limited night life, if that's something your group is into. Meaning that if you wanted to be in a more club like atmosphere then you're looking at a 25 minute uber ride into Wheeling, and to be honest, Wheeling isn't much of a nightlife place at its best. I will say though, there's a great restaurant and a few bars on site, but everything is more chill. The accomodations are fantastic so no complaints about the room and whatnot. The Palmer course and the Jones course are fantastic. The par 3 was fun and free to burn an hour. The only other course there was their "executive" course, called the crispin course. My group did not like the crispin course very much to be honest. Overall definitely worth it, given the things I just noted.

Oglebay would work. Wheeling kinda sucks tho not much to do to see night life or drinking wise. Few decent places. Jones and Palmer course is fabulous. Crispin is hilly and it kinda sucks. Their par 3 is a joke. But oglebay has bars and restaurants and the lodges and cabins are nice. They have a nice driving range anddddd we got a cabelas. It's our main attraction LOL. Restaurants my fav is char house in Bethlehem in wheeling I'd look at the greenbrier or even Rocky Mountain gap casino and resort also

Anytime man. I too enjoy the occasional round of disc golf lol.

Did you make sure you had the correct e-mail? I usually see and respond pretty quickly. I'm looking through my e mail right now and I'm not seeing anything [email protected]

@@DerekLesterGolf I’ve DM’d you on Instagram thanks

I did too. Golf is hard.

Appreciate the advice bro. My real swing is definitely not perfect or anything but I will add that I was intentionally trying to hit had shots for this video lol.

Appreciate the advice bro. To be fair, my swing definitely not all pro or perfect, but I was trying to hit bad shots on purpose to make this video lol.

Hit me up in the e mail located in my about section to discuss details. It’s not a flat rate because there’s so many factors that go into it ( number of golfers, types of camera shots, etc.)

@@DerekLesterGolf I’m not seeing the email in the about section

@@DylanJamesGolf better yet even. DM my instagram, it’s just DerekLesterGolf

Got more in the works soon!

More involved, tedious, and advanced technique there. Involved after effects and duplicating your line then just observing the terrain and drawing it by hand. Not very practical honestly. More of just showing that it can be done.

@@DerekLesterWV understandable I'll check it out. Thanks 👍

Yup, not happening. I was gonna give it a try to see if I can make them a little better... people will just have to come for the commentary the golf tracer they can take it or leave it. I don't have time to do all this lol

Thanks for the reply man! Lol I didn’t mean any disrespect. Your content is still awesome. If you want some help with editing some projects you’re working on then hit me up. I’d be glad to help.
