[@darrenpenman7076]

We're in after effects. "Are you in after effects?" Me: "No". "Very good" 😂

[@user-gd5hx6mh1j]

please what software did you use to creat this sky replacement

[@juleko_0]

Can you tell me what to do if the swapped sky flies replacement when this is a video with a view from a car, the swapped sky flies forward instead of staying in place? I hope you know what I mean

[@nipungrover7058]

Would've really loved to see the final result in the end. Great work tho

[@aydanflops1450]

its at the beginning

[@nipungrover7058]

I think I said "at the end". Can't you read?

[@milkeh3061]

Hey bro!! Just wanted to comment on your latest video in hopes you see my comment. I recently got mocha Pro 2022 but after tracking and then copying the track data to comps, my tracks are not sticking at all. I need help pls

[@RadTodoroff]

Hey bud, before you leave Mocha make sure to go to the first or last frame of the video and click the Expand Planer Surfaces button. When you go back to AE, before you click Apply export - check that you’re on the same frame you expanded the surface to. Probably this will fix it.

[@swashyhimself]

very difficult to feather using this effect. Skies arent always clear cut

[@muneebchoudharymaxx8078]

Hello every everything is great in this video but the thing I can't understand that how you duplicate the video at 0:48 seconds. Please always try to make a detailed video. Your way of teaching is great.

[@RadTodoroff]

Hey thanks man. You duplicate by holding ctrl+D. Or you can also use the old ctrl+C, ctrl+V. Hope this helps

[@adidtyabrahma9760]

can you tell me how your brought that mask work space with video on the left bottom @ 0:55

[@RadTodoroff]

You duplicate the video - click on the duplicated video - select the pen tool - make a selection - click M on the keyboard to bring the mask properties - click on the stopwatch on mask path to create a keyframe - scroll down the video and create couple of quick keyframes so the mask follows the ground. Let me know if this helps 🙃

[@aaravshikari1828]

why you did 3d traking whats the use of ir in this clip you didnt mentioned

[@RadTodoroff]

You’re replacing an object in the far back. When the camera moves it will be more realistic. If you use 2d tracking you need to attach the sky to follow another object in the scene. If we set the sky to follow the building they will be on the same place in Z space, which will make the movements unrealistic. When you’re adding objects to a scene in different places on the Z plane is better to use 3d tracking.

[@marcboileau5975]

did u skip a step? Once you camera track the video, how do you get the sky image on to the tracking?

[@RadTodoroff]

Once you 3d track the video, then you just click on the 3d layer icon on any layer and it will become part of the 3d space. You don’t need to track each layer as with 2d tracking. When you 3D track you just let After Effects know where are XYZ, then you can just put objects in this space. You just need to find the right place to put them in, otherwise it won’t look realistic. With the sky I just push it back as far as I can as it will be in real life. Hope this makes sense.

[@marcboileau5975]

I did that before but it’s not working properly. Can I get your email so I can send you screenshots?

[@marcboileau5975]

@@RadTodoroff so my sky background is zooming in as if there is a key frame making it move. Don’t get it

[@RadTodoroff]

Send it on [e-mail]

[@crochetclasssinhala5073]

Soo fast bro😕

[@RadTodoroff]

Sorry buddy, I wanted to make it quick and easy. I might have gone too fast.

[@LukeFenlon]

Step 1 do what now?

[@gosheboboshe]

is this shipka momument

[@RadTodoroff]

Yeah man 🔥

[@monomatics]

So fast, did not even catch how to select area in duplicated video.

[@RadTodoroff]

You use the pen tool to create the mask. Sorry for the speed.

[@miemora5920]

U'RE TOO FAST MY BRAIN IS DISCONNECTING EDIT: U'RE EVEN FASTER NOW

[@RadTodoroff]

Hhahaha 😀

[@deaniweenie]

Here's a tip - seeing as the title brought us to this video we know what it's about - to save everyone, time this video could have come straight in at 19 seconds on 'we're going to replace the sky in four easy steps'. We don't need the build up or the silly jokes, just straight in on the meat. Just saying

[@RadTodoroff]

I prefer the silly jokes 😀

[@deaniweenie]

@@RadTodoroff Imagine how much more popular your videos would be without the padding - you'd be the go to place for tutorials. Silly jokes and time-wasting repetition just gets people back up when they have work to do. You're not giving us anything entertaining with the jokes because they're not funny. Your call

[@djxoxta]

slower next time, tks!

[@rosen9847]

Кажи ми българин ли си няма как с тоя акцент и тва шипка ли е 😭

[@RadTodoroff]

Е разбира се 😀 разпознаваемия акцент 😀 Шипка е

[@michealj22]

Not at all beginner friendly

[@Gamehuts]

Then improve yourself

[@fatemehs9172]

God bless you! You saved my life

Good Job bro can u ur whtsapp nomver
