[@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.

[@itsalexclark]

Hahah. At first i thought your hoodie drawstrings were a braided beard. I can’t say I’m not disappointed.

[@KellanReck]

Hahahah, awesome!

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

[@lifewithrich-yt]

Chris Hau That part had me in stitches...so good!

[@africaninternet2746]

Watched the three tutorials so far. You're really good at explaining this. Had a rudimentary knowledge ( 1 years worth ) of After Effects and these tutorials just brought these skills a bit sharper into focus. Good vids. Thank you

[@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

I don't even use after effects or any video software for that matter, and yet here I am enjoying all these tutorials because I just love how informative they are!

[@kebarriere]

Man, I love your AE tutorials! I've yet to try AE but I'm definitely going to now. Relevant, useful, straight to the point (kinda!) and way more entertaining than the usual tutorials. Keep 'em coming!

[@johnnyshots5372]

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

[@DuncanSmith]

LETSS GOO!!! More AE tutorials!!!

[@AnaCissaPinto]

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

[@randyramos7993]

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!

[@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.

[@drewcain]

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

[@AsherPostmanMusic]

You inspire me!

[@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.

[@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.

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
