[@R3tr06Am3rS]

Hey, great tutorial’s, question is there a tutorial to put a logo on a field during a game ? Greetings from Belgium.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

@@R3tr06Am3rS Si ton intention est de donner l'impression que le logo est imprimé sur le gazon alors que la camera est en constant mouvement, je doute que tu vas trouver un tutoriel spécifiquement pour ça. Mais dans le fond tu as juste besoin de faire du '3D tracking' et il y a plein de tutoriels disponibles sur ce sujet. Faire disparaitre le logo quand un joueur passe devant sera une autre paire de manche par contre. Tu devras faire beaucoup de 'masking' pour ça. En bout de ligne, c'est beaucoup plus compliqué de faire ça en post-production avec des logiciels classiques que de le faire live en studio télé avec des ordinateurs et logiciels bâtit spécifiquement pour cette tâche.

Finally a Football video tutorial....

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Haha sorry it took so long buddy. I have a couple more coming actually. I just need to get to them. I also need for sports to start again in Melbourne.

[@HottopicsLegacy]

Nailed it...exactly what I was looking for

Happy to help 😊

[@BALONESDEOROS]

hi bro. can I create other angles for sklls and goal that the Original video does not have?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

You can't create video content that doesn't exist if that's what you're asking.

[@maryskrudland1103]

Thanks, now I need after effects!

[@russccc6227]

😂

[@EddieKer]

How does parenting your graphic to the Null do anything if the null has no keyframes and the tracking has been applied to the footage layer instead?? This makes no sense. surely you should parent to the footage layer

[@gm2sports712]

GREAT TUTORIALS ALLTOGETHER, THANK YOU. CAN THIS BE ACHIEVED WITH PREMIER PRO?

[@raynorcomps4943]

Thank you! Your tutorials are the best! 🏆

[@quentinschroeder3954]

I never of the option to to "Stop Motion" while tracking! That's gonna save me several headaches in the future.

[@welsonfy5246]

Thanks, very good job. Possible export tracking circle players to cinema 4D ?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thank you 😊 But no idea about the cinema 4d export. I’ve never used that software.

[@gm2sports712]

IS IT POSSIBLE TO ACHIEVE THIS EXACT SAME RESULT WITH PREMIER PRO?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Yes but you’ll have to manually enter each keyframes instead of using the tracker to do it for you.

[@salimramadhan4531]

Awesome staff bro

[@jessiej1746]

If you had a high enough resolution camera could you record a soccer game from a fixed position and track a player for an entire game in post

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Technically yes. But the AE tracker won't do it all for you. You'll have to spend a lot of time (many hours) in AE manually tracking the player.

[@FTBLSHORTS354]

1 question where you take your clips from please replay me i can pay for that

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

As in putting a similar tracker under the fighters?

[@mauricioosorioG89]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I mean something like, lines that show the punch trayectory, or something like that

[@royitaqi]

How did you make the circle bigger as the camera zooms in? E.g. compare 5:07 and 5:12, the circle definitely got bigger when the camera zoomed in.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Once the tracking is complete, if you zoom in on the clip, the circle will adjust automatically.

[@1stDownPhoto]

Sweet! Any tip on doing this in Fusion?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I’ve never used Fusion but I’m hoping the same principles apply.

Very nice E! Now I'll go look hot to do on DaVinci Resolve.

[@alfiecobbold3169]

Great video mate, I never knew how easy it was to do that

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Thanks! Yes it’s pretty simple. The only hurdle is when your patience gets tested by a tracking point that keeps losing its target but other than that it’s quite easy.

There’s probably a way to do something similar but the methodology will be different.

I followed all the steps but my circle isn't tracking, any help?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It's hard to be much help without seeing what you did or didn't do but if it's simply not tracking, you either didn't click APPLY when you finished tracking or you didn't connect the the null object layer to your subject properly.

[@j.marquet8173]

Thank you very much. I do everything. Good for rugby. I have a problem with the circle because the player is always behind the circle... How can I do please ? Thanks from Paris ;)

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Si le mouvement du cercle n'est pas exactement ce qu'il devrait être, tu peux toujours ajuster les 'position keyframes' créé par le tracker avant d'appuyer sur 'apply'. Sélectionne le keyframe (petit carré beige) sur l'image elle-même et repositionne le avec ta souris.

[@j.marquet8173]

@@BeyondTheGame_E merci. Le soucis est que je n'arrive pas à mettre le cercle derrière le joueur. Il reste devant même avec la manipulation opacité

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Ah je vois. Tu ne pourras jamais vraiment mettre le cercle derrière. Ce n’est pas du 3D. Tu pourrais masquer le joueur pour faire le cercle disparaître de devant lui mais personnellement je garde le cercle au niveau des pieds et je joue avec le blending mode et on ne remarque presque pas que le cercle est devant les pieds au lieu de derrière.

[@j.marquet8173]

@@BeyondTheGame_E merci car sur la vidéo on pourrait penser qu'il est derrière. Je vais manipuler tout ça. Encore un GRAND MERCI

[@emelio6928]

Same thing here, blending mode doesn't work with a 3D layer. I really don't get it how it worked for you

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Not sure what to tell you. I just tested it at my end before getting back to you and it works normally. I can turn on the 3D properties of a layer and then change the blending mode without any issue.

[@emelio6928]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Thanks for the reply. Ok, I see. Well, if anyone had the same problem I'd be happy if you could tell me how to solve it.

[@emelio6928]

I've just solved the problem. My 3d renderer was set to the Cinema4D renderer, that's why blending modes (and several other things) were disabled. So I just had to switch back to classic renderer and everything works fine. Maybe someone runs into the same problem and this will help you to solve it.

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

I spent the weekend trying to shoot so soccer footage at my daughter's soccer game to make them some sort of hype videos like the football videos on my page. With the ever changing direction of play I have 4 games of very unstable seemingly unusable footage. What do you use or suggest for a fix? Beginner Zve10 Sony 70-200mm Sony 15-105mm Monopod That is my rooky set up

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

It depends how big the shakes are. Most editing software have a stabilizing effect but it only works well on small shakes. Otherwise for future filming sessions, I would suggest to use a tripod instead of a monopd (more stable) and I would also suggest to film wider. The wider your shot is, the easier it is to be stable. Then as you get more and more comfortable, you can start shooting tighter and tighter.

[@peytonsmith05hockey]

Thanks for the video. Can you recommend an inexpensive EASY editing software for hockey highlights? Something that can freeze, highlight the player for a second or two, then start the video up again? I like your channel content! Thanks

Hello Sir,,,can u please tell me where can i get hd videos of nba on youtube or any other website...I know u film it yourself so your videos are of high quality but nba official channel or any other channel like B/R doesnt upload video higher than 720p...So is there anyway i can get HD quality nba clips as a content creater....Hope you reply!!

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Some of the teams put great content on KZbin. I know the Raptors and the Nets have great cinematic videos covering the games and also the behind the scenes. Javal Mcgee also has a KZbin channel where he posts a lot of 4K videos that contain a fair bit of game footage.

[@lightinghoops]

@@BeyondTheGame_E Yeah that is true but like HD videos of NBA clips is rare on youtube

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

Well no matter how hard it is to find good footage on KZbin, it’s never going to be as hard as filming it yourself. So you should be happy that you can make great videos from the hard work of others.

[@lightinghoops]

@@BeyondTheGame_E haha that is true tho but making good videos take hard work but not that hard in comparison to filming it by ourself...

[@jojoeconomou3931]

What video editing software do you use?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

This was done in After Effects but I edit my videos with Premiere Pro.

[@DarkwingproductionsNet]

On ESPN and Madden/NBA 2K, it seems like they get the tracker to appear underneath the player. I wonder how they do that? I guess you could mask the player out of the tracking graphic for each frame, but that sounds really labor intensive. Is there a better way?

[@BeyondTheGame_E]

On ESPN they use keying techniques with special software and plugins. Video games are a different ball game all together since there isn't any real cameras involved. Everything is built separately so putting something between a player and the ground is not an issue.

[@PixelPlanetStudios]

@@BeyondTheGame_E I think you could use Keylight to create a matte from the green field that you could use move it below the players. Great tutorial by the way. I've never used the 'Stop Tracker' feature. I've just had to figure out where the track went wrong manually haha -Brandon

Thanks for reaching out and for subscribing. It would be very hard to do a tutorial so specific because it’s such a creative process. Every video is different. I have plenty of editing tutorials on my channel but nothing specific to a particular type of video.

@@ICON1OF1 ah I see. Well you just need to use the ellipse tool. Make sure you hold the shift key when you create the tracker, that way it will keep it a perfect circle. Then delete or hide the background layer and save your image as a PNG file.
