After Effects Tutorial: Motion Tracked 3D Text and Logos With Element

[@xJMxClan]

This is your best tutorial ever dude. Making text that looks better than in Cinema 4d with after effects brilliant

[@BakersTuts]

ok be honest. did you buy element or did you torrent it

[@Amyte]

Ehhh Baker...is there a demo version of Elements 3D?

[@Ronnae1000]

Awesome tut dude! Element rocks. This is going to save me going back and forth to C4D.

[@BakersTuts]

yes. just motion track the entire scene and just make more than one text and position it over. then use a track matte to "cut away" the text around a corner

[@BakersTuts]

then how come none of your edits has element 3d in it

[@BakersTuts]

why would you need to parent it? if make a 3d camera, any 3d layer will react to it

[@BakersTuts]

I have an intel graphics card. The only thing I have found that doesn't work is ambient occlusion. Everything else is fine

[@TSTACKED1]

@BakersTuts i know this is off topic, first off i appreciate that you upload tutorials on AE you taught me so much and second. I know you have the macbook pro but what are your specs like ram, CPU etc. Just curious

[@PutlOfficial]

now what would i do if i wanted my text to go behind a wall.. how would i mask it?

[@TheHonchoofAllSpearheads]

4:10 hey how exactly did u get that 3D logo/model to orbit around as the background revolves? u missed that point and that's the real gist i'm here

[@mr.motionguy8402]

The reason is because the element logo and the text are motion tracked so they stay at one spot at all times. You should check out Bakers motion tracking tutorial if you don't know how to motion track.

[@S3nzEdits]

great tut! Element is such a nice plug-in

[@scott17021]

Ive been waiting so long for this! Thank you baker!!

[@LeonMonschauer]

this is so awesome! now i don't need to "buy" cinema 4D xD your tutorials are the best!

[@TehPremiun]

Baker i think this question is ask so much but i have never read it but in what cs edit you? (After effects) because i want to edit just like you like your style i like your videos man

[@Asegagi]

Baker It's easy to say for yourself as you do earn money from doing these great tutorials and you end up with a sum which allows you to afford these things not everyone can afford things like these just to do it as a hobby and mess about, you see a lot of people dont just have a 150 laying around that they can spend and usually they do it only from them self so it's not being exploited or anything. But people should also pay because the creator of this plugin has made a really good job of it.

[@FDS-nucklehead]

Thanks for the tuts Baker. I had one problem though...I enabled multi object and keyframed all the settings you did, but my characters won't move independently. Any help would be appreciated.

[@iSpeedyyy]

BAKER! Is the camera the camera that is make when you track the camera for motion tracking in aae? and then when you create the logo in element, is it automatically tracked to the footage?

[@chompa817]

OMG I LOVE YOU BAKER! :D

[@IAMWEAKART]

Yes i know. But i figured out what i did wrong. Thanks sooo much for all the after effects tutorials:D It has helped me alot

[@IVIotionFX]

thanks baker , tried this myself , couldn't find the right layer to use for the path layer as i just went straight to the jpeg image i had , now i know i need to mask it . thanks man

[@BakersTuts]

"u" it only shows any keyframes or expressions on a layer

[@BakersTuts]

glad to hear it!

[@TheRaJCreation]

thanx baker it gonna try boujou. but is the built in tracker not better i dont now but i am learning editing. and all of your tuts are great thanx a lot mate. if it is easy can you make a tut with the built in tracker. cant wait for the new tuts bye bye

[@DanielCorazzari]

thanks ALOT

[@BastosFC2]

yeah im on cs4 and i had it, i did something wrong and lost it tho, cant get it back now :(

[@SharkHunterx]

Hey Baker, along with another person lower in the comments, when I add Element 3D, my text is not directly motion tracked into my footage? Of what I saw, you just did your thing and it was motion tracked right as you added it. :| A really quick tip on how to fix this would be very much appreciate. :)

[@SimplyEditing2]

I am getting the same problem. But when i turn off the camera then i can see the text, then when i turn the camera back on the text is gone. When i turn off the camera and then turn on 3D for the 3d text layer it goes away. So we are missing something.. Probably something small but let us know if you find out :/

[@hanna21ism]

BAKERTUTS : i have a 3d camera with text and now i create a new solid and add any object , the object stays hidden if i uncheck the 3d camera then the object is visible. also sometimes dont no why when i move timeline slider left or right the object swings left and goes out of sight instead of staying still

[@WB13Rsp]

It's because your Camera tracker tracked a point where it might've been not even in your scene.. so if you choose another clip with another 3D camera angle obviously , it might be visible. And if you haven't got element , then all you do is move the object by going to the Solid's layers and go to transform and change the position. I hope i helped. :)

[@BakersTuts]

but it IS motion tracked to the cinematic...

[@TheRaJCreation]

Hi baker my question is how did you motion tracked the clip before. every time i use element 3d i cant motion track the logo. can you pleas help me. i lik this tut because it looks so easy.

[@Gr8IsGood]

am i suppose to use a new camera or the 3d tracker camera thats created after tracking? because my text isnt tracked properly

[@oGSniPeZx]

bakers , could u upload ur bevel thingies , so we can use it to ?

[@SwazNasty]

I use bujou and I've used the built in tracker- which do you recommend?

[@GTSniperzZ]

This is gonna go so viiiiiral.

[@aViruhs]

wait, is the video ur adding the effects a tiff sequence?

[@codatesta]

do you know why as soon as i press extrude to create the model my AE crashes?

[@ProxFG]

Man baker your tuts are rlly clean and nice go on ! 3

[@byTiqh]

Did you track this cinematic with the built in Camera Tracker thing in CS6?

[@Reteq]

I was wondering Bakwer is you could help me out. With 3d camera tracker. would it be possible to select point, create a null object and have the null as the parent for other layers to motion track it. As it is limited with what I know to just solid layers and text layers, and element doesnt seem to work :/

[@JaymeeeZ]

Baker please reply. How did you get the letters to fly in like that? :D

[@MagneticSSBM]

is 3D Camera tracker for CS6 is better than and faster than using bonjou,cinema 4d and all that?

[@BunDiix]

works good but I got 1 question: the logo stays on his place but after 4-5 seconds it randomyl starts to move? is this because of the motion track?

[@Reteq]

oh i see. just to clarify. should I delete the points i dont need as sometimes the layer is tracked wrong as I guess it follows a different point. sorry my knowledge of aae is limited. thanks for help though

[@SagaEdits]

My element crashes aswell.. Pls do you have any idea of what we can do baker?

[@ExzertV2]

if it is an ai file do you have to trace the logo ?

[@Jhinja]

Baker, I want to motion track a logo and whenever I´m done with the logo in element 3d and I click ok the logo is not in 3d, its just a 2d picture and the lower part of it just gets cut off... please respond :)

[@zGigglezFTW]

okay lemme get this straight, If I download Element, and Camera Tracker for after effects, I can create a 3d Text and motion track it with no need for c4D or Bojou O.o? Please answer!

[@Furgony]

why dont you use cinema 4d for 3d text ?

[@xD0RuthlessGaming]

baker can u please help me, when i make a text layer and extrude in element, i press ok and i have the new extruded text but i also still have the original text aswell

[@onlykuta]

but there are a lot of people who doesnt know how to use element 3d and baker explained that perfectly.

[@xiProNewb]

No, i mean I have an Intel g45/g43 Express Chipset... Could you tell me exactly what card you have? I've read up about it and apparently only the newer intel cards are supported.

[@FunkhouserFilms]

just track the camera and in the camera tracker thing in the top left where your effects for that layer are, click create camera, and your text should be tracked off that camera, if your text is moving etc. then your cinmatic isnt steady

[@DanielCorazzari]

From where has to be the camera ? If it is from boujou , how can i save to aae ? and from where is the easiest way ?

[@lllH0TR0D]

I can't figure out how you make the motion track apply to the objects in Element. How does Baker do in this video? He doesn't seem to do anything to make the motion track apply to the logo and text? Help would be appreciated!

[@TheDarkRaider126]

Hi baker, do you use a mac or a pc?

[@SRGZEditing]

Sickest tutorial Ive ever seen!

[@FizZClanAUS]

Baker HELP! When I press ok in element to get my text or logo out, the solid that has element on it still stay's black... do you know how to fix this?

[@teisz]

i need help so i motion track with boujou and whenever the null object is on the text is upside and whenever i delete it and or just turn it off it goes back to normal? is it ok for me to just not have the null object?

[@HamdiBerlin]

Everytime if i choose the material from the 3D Text and clos this, the solid isnt anymore like in the mode 'add', it is just black Need Help! :(

[@HaZeTrinity]

BAKER PLEASE RESPOND!!!!!!!! everytime i press ok and it is already motion tracked on a camera from the cs6 motion tracker...it comes up rotated and repositioned and then when i try and put in a 3d layer so i can rotate it it doesnt rotate right...im confused please help

[@GoSilo]

Baker Man great tut, but when i click extrude my after effects automatically stops responding and closes? Help?

[@BySmerky]

does this work with the built in 3d tracker in cs6 is that what you used it's the easiest way tbh.

[@LeerReddit]

[@Iceefeeds]
