3 years later, you're incredible. Only dude on here that knew EXACTLY what I needed.

[@pointdatainc5909]

Just wanted to say thank you! This and tons of other videos were essential to my training, however only a select few channels stand out and you have been one of my top professors! I have a long way to go, Thank you for sharing your skills with the world! If you get a chance please check what your inspiration help build.

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you very much for the comment! Happy to hear you are enjoying my videos :D

[@BradGryphonn]

@@SurfacedStudio What @pointdatainc5909 said (3 years ago). I've just upgraded to the Creator license and I've once again dived into the KZbin HitFilm rabbit-hole. I watched many of your videos when I first got the free version and now I want to start getting a little bit serious. I think I'll be bingeing and playing with Hitfilm a lot more now.

[@sunnysideeggs]

I frequently return to this video. Thank you for making this video clear and concise. :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you very much for the awesome feedback :D Really happy to hear you enjoyed the tutorial!

[@CoolpieGaming]

I always have to come back to this video every few months or so xD

[@SurfacedStudio]

Hope that's cause it's useful, not because it fails to teach in a way that makes one remember... ;)

[@CoolpieGaming]

@@SurfacedStudio Oh no, it's useful, I just don't do zoom tracking very frequently. So whenever I haven't done it in a couple of months or so I come to this video for a refresher, just to make sure I don't waste any time.

[@amberisrad]

i've been meaning to learn how to do this for forever, i feel so powerful now LOL!

[@SurfacedStudio]

It's really not that hard once you now how it hangs together :) Glad it helped!

Hey can you do a death eater smoke tutorial in blender?

[@SurfacedStudio]

That's a great idea! I do want to make some more advanced stuff with smoke sims, just need to find the time

[@boelest]

@@SurfacedStudio ok thanks!

[@lorenzo_smit]

Hi, I’m currently busy editing a short movie. There is a shot where the character is running towards the camera, while the camera is moving backwards. Now I want a tie fighter (as a 3D object) to follow her from behind. But it’s a bit of a shaky shot so it’s hard to keep the movements of the tie fighter smoothly. Is there a way to track it to make the animation go smoother?

[@Real-S]

epic very cool

Glad you liked it!

Thanks this helped me with tracking a grenade in a game! :)

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you

[@ubong120]

do you prefer after effects or HitFilm and why? i'm new to the world of Vfx and i would like to know what i should focus on

[@SurfacedStudio]

I am personally a big fan of After Effects (even got a full beginner playlist here: kzbin.info/aero/PLs2aOcA-EaLN1TwemqyxdjTg2puGtwvkQ), but HitFilm has been getting better and better over the years :)

[@sackcrusher6974]

Hey bro I’m like super new to after effects. Tracking, layer, compositing, and all that are super confusing to me. Do you think you could do an updated after effects tutorial on the basics for those. I know how to make the effects look great but not the base for any of those vfx.

[@SurfacedStudio]

I got a free tutorial series for After Effects here: kzbin.info/aero/PLs2aOcA-EaLOkeCowZNSQswwrOcgsSn7C The basics haven't changed in ages so it's still applicable. Otherwise I have a full training course on my website (and on Udemy) :)

[@arkobose4425]

great

[@SurfacedStudio]

[@xatunaxaindrava5155]

key i really love your videos i have learnt after effects from you

[@SurfacedStudio]

Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it :)

[@RobJorg]

any tips on how this poor old guy can learn after effects ? lost my job last year and wont be working this year due to corona. im a freelancer so we are hit hard first. as a freelancer, no job no income so i need to learn on the cheap. tips would be great. Danke für deine Hilfe (Im dutch)

[@SurfacedStudio]

I have a free After Effects tutorial series right here :) kzbin.info/aero/PLs2aOcA-EaLOkeCowZNSQswwrOcgsSn7C There's also some more intermediate and advanced tutorials on my channel and they're all free. If you're new to it I recommend starting with the basics first though

[@RobJorg]

@@SurfacedStudio danke, i watch another channel too but i get confused because i am a starter and the mocha interface has changed last year. its a minor change but its enough to confuse a starter like me. anyway, love your channel and humor and have been a long time subscriber. trying to figure out if i should use a dslr/mirrorless camera or camcorder to get my footage to work on. not sure what to look out for.

Man can I use Ignite pro plugin with Hitfilm express?

[@SurfacedStudio]

I don't think that's how it works as the Ignite Plugins are the plugins that are already available in HitFilm Express as 'add-on's. Might be worth considering just upgrading to HitFilm Pro instead if you want to use HitFilm :)

[@destin5103]

I have this very weird problem where my frame starts moving before it even gets to the tracker? like at 0:00:00 in my clip the video is already like half way up off the frame and moves around before the tracker even comes in?

[@SurfacedStudio]

What do you mean with your 'frame'? And have you watched my beginner HitFilm tutorials yet? :)

[@destin5103]

@@SurfacedStudio Like at the beginning of the video way before the tracking starts the camera moves my video in the frame so that only 1/4 of the video is visible and I have to constantly pan the video back to being normal until the tracking starts then it's good to go

[@incationstudios1240]

at the start of the video, how can i do the moving line to the pokeball? ^^

[@SurfacedStudio]

I used Red Giant Universe Line effect for that :) www.redgiant.com/user-guide/universe/line/

How to rotoscope 3d model in after effect

[@SurfacedStudio]

? I'm not sure I understand. Rotoscoping means cutting something out of your footage. If you already have a separate 3D model then you don't need to cut it out of anything as it's already separated?

[@bullymaguiregaming6812]

that pokeball tho

[@SurfacedStudio]

What's wrong with Pokeballs? Are you a Pokemon?

[@bullymaguiregaming6812]
