[@FacundoDCorzo]

loved your way of explaining bro, easy and clear, greetings from Argentina!

[@pavguliani]

Thanks very much Facundo! Greetings from Londres 🙂

[@Tackleqb]

Simple, clear, and concise. Exactly what I was looking for and it helped me a bunch. Well done brother 🙏🙏

[@pavguliani]

Thanks mate! Glad it helped you out 😊

[@M3AMG63]

Nice tutorial but rather bad results. Didn't like the results due to the heavily transparent thick clouds and they are also somehow jittering

[@pavguliani]

Sorry it didn't help you. Hope your find what you're looking for 👍

[@Timhardscope]

Hey! I know its an old video, but I still have the problem with the Object, that is connected to the camera. The clouds are just flickering in place and barely moving. Also the camera doesnt zoom into them, they just get bigger. 3d-Boxes are checked. Idk what's wrong. But super dope video, my friend.

[@pavguliani]

Hmmm that's odd, if you follow the steps it should work. What is the accuracy number of the analysis when you do the track?

[@ericprochnow7584]

Good stuff man ! Nice explanation and very easy to follow 👍🏼

Thankyou so much Jo and thanks for subscribing 🙂

[@akramaslam]

OK I did everything as you said, but the clouds simply stay still and move along with the footage. Could you please help me out, what could I be doing wrong? I did the 3d tracking, selected flat points on the drone footage, created the null and camera, selected the track null using the pick tool from the clouds. Everything exactly as you said... Its driving me mad that it isn't working. I would really appreciate some feedback. Thanks

[@pavguliani]

Is the 3d icon selected for the clouds layer? The cube icon

[@abandonedart]

@@pavguliani thank you for the video. I've got the same problem. I turned the 3d icon (cube one) and connected them (spiral icon) but still doesnt work. I dont have 3 arrow when I click on Track Null 1, but you have.

[@MatoyTv]

same problem here,

[@pavguliani]

@@MatoyTv what problem are you having mate?

[@MatoyTv]

@@pavguliani i follow all your instruction but the clouds move slow it not same as your cloud thats looks realistic

[@hwpraneethb]

Thanks mate, very helpful 👍

[@pavguliani]

No worries mate 👍

[@richardbarclay9095]

Thanks very much Richard, appreciate it mate!

[@anhonestreviewer7015]

Hi Pav, do you have a tutorial for an orbiting drone shot where one can add clouds that that track the orbit? Or any advice on how to make the clouds orbit with a drone orbiting video?

[@pavguliani]

Hi Jay. I would have thought it would be the same process with regards to tracking but the only thing is with orbiting you may see the flat 2d image of the clouds so it might be worth researching how to make realistic 3d clouds but that is not something I have ever tried

[@i_am_Sabhi]

Yo.... an amazing video man.. the music in the background along With your explanation is such a great one

[@pavguliani]

Awesome man thanks! glad you enjoyed it :)

[@tonymcewan7516]

how would you do kthe reverse of this. The drone is flying towards me and i want the effect of it going over clouds on the way back ? I tried reversing the clip but that does not seem to work the cloud just follows the clip. Any idea,s ?

[@pavguliani]

So you mean the movement of the camera is flying backwards and you want to reveal the clouds coming into shot?

[@tonymcewan7516]

@@pavguliani yes exactly what i want

[@pavguliani]

Try first reversing the drone clip and then pre composing it. Then on that pre composed layer do the camera tracking. All the rest of the same steps should apply after that

[@tonymcewan7516]

@@pavguliani well i gave it ago but got an unexpected effect of the whole clip tumbling back towards the track point !

[@fredrik_soder]

I've tracked the clouds to my drone shots. but the clouds that are tracked are VERY shaky. Why? There's no keyframes to them either. Should I try to use another tracking point?

[@pavguliani]

Yes try different tracking points and use tracking points that are there throughout the entire clip if possible. How good was your camera track? What is the average error?

[@fredrik_soder]

Have tried 3/4 different tracking points that are flat on the surface now but I'm still having the same issue. The problem is that the clouds linked to the null shake very much

[@pavguliani]

@@fredrik_soder not sure if this will help but try doing right click and create solid and camera rather than create null and camera. Then paste the position values from the solid to the clouds. Once that is done it will probably put the clouds on the floor. Just adjust the position values of the clouds to where you want them and then finally turn the visibility of the solid off. Sorry of it's confusing. Give it a try

[@fredrik_soder]

@@pavguliani good tip, but unfortunely the clouds still shakes just as much :/

[@pavguliani]

A sorry bro not sure then. What is the error on the track? If it's too much then can be bad track points

[@wiraarts6532]

thanks for tutorial, great :)

[@pavguliani]

Not a problem my friend, thanks for watching and commenting 👍

[@OSAMALENS9]

Thanks for this tutorial and your channel is great, if you don't mind is there any tutorial for making realistic lighting clouds

[@pavguliani]

Thanks a lot appreciate that so much. Did you mean realistic lightning clouds? Or clouds with realistic lighting?

[@OSAMALENS9]

@@pavguliani Hi, and thanks for your response, as I am not a native speaker :), I meant clouds with realistic lighting

[@pavguliani]

Ahh ok i see, no sorry I don't have a tutorial on that information but there are tutorials out there that will teach you how to use the lighting features inside after effects which are very awesome and realistic 👍
