Lol, the video has been out for 3 min how can you say it's good?? The video is 15 min 15-3=12 quick maffs

[@blackstaramps5321]

Thanks Pete

[@frostythebeerman6324]

Yup, a guy did a video about your 3D tracking just last week, an intensive video on how you do it.

[@thechrishau]

3D TRACKING MAN!!! WANNNNN. This video is aweosme. Thank you.

[@DuncanSmith]

Steven Divish 😂 I do my best

[@AnaCissaPinto]

yeah, we need more AFX Tuts with this rockin energy. SO GOOD. MORE PLEASE!

[@andresalvarez7303]

I don't even know where to start with this comment. Do I thank you for being just so totally awesome? Or for helping me grasp and understand concepts that I never even knew existed? Or how about for your personality? Seriously man, I can't even begin to thank you for existing. I find photography/videography amazing, and though I am an amateur, I think I spend about half of my day just watching and waiting for your videos (and I still have a lot to see). I hope you see this, and I hope it makes your day even better. All the love and support from me man. Keep up these "tüts"/vlogs/silly shenanigans! You certainly know how to make the world happy with your videos.

[@johnnyshots5372]

Such a great teacher Peter! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us :)

[@g2avityhitz]

This is f***ing incredible technology. In my freshman year of my Comp Sci major, we had to write our own extremely basic image editor (turned things negative and resized and blurred and stuff). This software is f***ing nuts.

[@drewcain]

Probably your best AE tutorial so far. I'm totally enjoying these. Keep up the great work.

[@GaryElGringo]

I just watch this to hear Peter say, "Why aren't you doing 3D tracking maaaan!! Nnneeeaauhhh!!!"

Thanks for this great tutorial! So many people on KZbin who TRY to teach but want to show off and breeze through their tuts, you however take your time and get the message across. Plus the humor adds a great touch!

Peter, I have learnt more in the 3 vids on AE, than I did on watching 4 hrs of tutorials. Mate thank you for your time and energy. 3D TRACKING not the the WHIP. Cheers

Hey Peter! I Started my Journey in the world of photography about 4 months back.. but after about 3 months i was demotivated.. but ur videos made me curious again and got me so much motivated again! Love Your stuff man!! keep it up!

I started watching your content over a year ago and I’ve learned a looooot since then. I’ve made a 30 day web series, shot some weddings and promo videos, did some photo shoots, and even shot, edited and sound designed a feature film. But after around 6 months I stopped watching your channel. I felt as if you weren’t teaching me anything new. It was like you were still catering to a “noob” audience. Which I totally get btw. Film/photography is booming right now. You gotta do what you gotta do... So my point is: that I appreciate videos like this. With the goal of teaching an intermediate to an advanced audience something new. I hope you continue to post content like this. As I will stay a loyal subscriber. Thank you.

[@aaronjohnson4604]

You're an intermediate to advanced after effects user and your just now learning how to 3d track? This is my first day learning after effects and this was the first thing I learned! lol Thanks Peter

I just love that last one. I've never done a mask before. Seems like it takes quite a lot of work just to get a few seconds of effects, BUT it looks amazing and very professional. Thank you very much for this upload!

[@ScaredDonut]

AE actually has AI automated tracking now that works very well. I believe its a brush over a guy icon on the top navbar. You'd do the exact same step minus the pen tool.

[@YearOf89]

30 seconds in and I’m thinkin’ to myself as I actually laugh out loud: ”My daily dose of Peters awesome vids, just great, love these and he makes my photo/film-inspiration spark once again.” And the remarks for ”3D trackers” - spot on! 😂👌🏼 Thanks for making my day! 😄

[@EthanLington]

Literally made the decision to dive into my passion FINALLY last night and I discovered your Adobe tutorials. I have very minimal experience, Vegas only...and man. Thank you so much for what you do. I appreciate the time and effort to teach others, it's allowing me to have the confidence to take those first steps. Much love. - A new fan

Yuuus! Was so hyped abOUt this. Thought it was going to take another 5 months..

[@rbleue3500]

Peter...you are AWESOME! I just started using After Effects today and I watched a couple of videos by other folks and I couldnèt understand a thing they said. I really questioned whether I would really be able to learn the program. Anyhow, after watching three of your videos, I felt that I had at least a chance of taming the beast! Keep up the good work. I really look forward to more AE tutorials.

[@HengHuiMei]

I needa get to the level where I can understand and track what Peter's teaching

[@olsonspeed]

After Effects has a steep learning curve, frustrating not for the casual user.

[@MichelleCoxPhotography]

this guys got jokes! hahaha love ya pete

[@dodmedia]

If you're struggling to get the Saw logo in the correct perspective or the track isn't quite working right, you can make it more accurate by clicking and drawing as many of the point you want, not just the three it uses by default to triangulate. It will lasso all the selected ones and then if you continue with the process, so right click and create camera and text, you'll have a more stable 3D track.

[@KellanReck]

Great call!

[@JEC-mn5bi]

Dang that’s so cool. *Step 1.* Be able to afford after effects and premiere pro

Wow. I have avoided After Effects like crazy because it just seemed so daunting. I'm no stranger to video editing and graphic design, but whenever I opened AE, I just felt out of my element... Just finished watching your two beginner videos and this one here and realized it's not too far off from a Flash program I used way back in the day (Swish - as far as keyframing and whatnot). Thanks for these videos.

@@telekinesistutorials2520 thats actually not a bad idea,. ill try that. thanks

[@calebstopa]

It could be your track points? Or maybe if your shutter speed was too slow when you shot the clip, and the video is blurry? I'm not really sure, but maybe it would work better with single point tracking. Here is a vid Matti did on tracking: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5KcgWekibunetU

[@coreygagner7645]

@@telekinesistutorials2520 I think that's the way to do it.
