Dude, 10 years later and your tutorial is the ONLY one that describes how to do this without using Mocha or the now gimped Warp Stabilizer in AE. Kudos.

null-object -> stabilize motion null-object -> final composition [will this not have an influence on the tracking motion on the front jard in the first place and even reverse it?}

[@Chrisoutwright]

I do have a different question as well. Can I stabilize a movie which changes perspective and the actual frame where I cannot track points anymore? Do I need to track point till to a keyframe and then start tracking in this frame a different point? Will this work?

[@reaperpros]

is there a way of stabilizing all multiple video files at the same_ time?

[@MADdrum13]

I'm really sorry if I sound dumb for asking this but I don't see what the point of reverse motion tracking is. Can you explain why you do all of that stuff instead of tracking the motion, apply it to the object above the tracked layer and scale the tracked layer up?

[@Chrisoutwright]

One thing I don't get: why do you parent the null-object twice with the stabilize motion file, the second time being the final composition? why not only the ball?

[@funkiEst]

3:30 ... that's not a leaf man... that's trash-tracking !!! (kidding) thank you anyway :D it really helped 10 years later

[@TMasterManT23]

very nice:-)_

[@art-byfayleif3938]

and what do you do if that does not Reverse the rotation?

[@JCampPro]

Bad example with the ball. but good for other special effect ideas.

[@MausTOP]
