@@yasheditss4567 Thanks Yash, means a lot, I try and teach about all the creative challenges that I normally face while editing and shooting. Glad that some of them aline with what you need as well.
Here’s one tip to make this way easier. You can actually double click the display in the program monitor and drag it- it will change the x and y so you don’t have to drag those numbers back and forth. As long as the correct clip is selected in the timeline, it will work! Happy editing.
Thanks! I have been spending too much time (and so many other UA-cam videos) trying to do this and this video made it so easy! You have many great videos, I've appreciated them all - Thank you!
OMG. You have NO idea how this just saved me on a job where this dude kept weaving in and out of the shot on the one cutaway camera we had (and needed). THANK YOU!!! Super-easy to understand and SUPER effective!!
Your stuff is majestic, short, to the point and perfectly executed. I hope millions learn through your example how content should be produced. Congratulations.
Omg, where have you been, Javier?!?! I’ve been searching for editing videos that make it easy for over a year now. You’re definitely making the most approachable videos for this kind of stuff.
I know its been 3 yrs but are their any AI or plug in extentions that can follow the ball? I see you've done a video where you mask selected mask forward to create a text box that follows which is cool but wondering if PPro has any AI or extensions for this soccerball trick Thanks again
I watched a video where they do this much easier with After Effect, but I don't really want to pay extra for it. I did it the same way you did except instead of using the rulers I made a simple title layer with a X and I put the X exactly in the middle. Then I keyed the frames the way you did, and delete the title later. Unfortunately this is a pretty tedious task.
Thanks! I'm looking for a way to do a similar thing. The camera man is doing a little panorama shoot, and I want to zoom in and keep the center at it's place. Is there a better way than this work? It's a very "slow" clip, nothing happening in it really, but I want it to look like the camera is fixed. Any ideas?
i have a 1 second clip where in a video game, an enemy in cover throws his pistol out into the player's feild of view, and when it hits the ground it just pathetically does nothing, no bounce no nothing, so i am going to zoom in really close and keep it centered as it goes to hit the ground. thanks so much for the help!
Amazing mate, I've been learning so much from you and even when I already know pretty much how to create a certain effect, I watch your videos 'til the end because I know that you'll show a cool shortcut or a trick that will enhance my knowledge about Premiere Pro. You are one of my favourite teacher on YT, thanks for being so informative every time!
thank you for this, bro this tutorial helps if you have a lot of motion blur. You gotta adjust all your settings on your camera to eliminate motion blur in order to use it on After Effects or it won't work as well. Thank you!
I am creating higlights from a soccer game on TikTok and this really helped me get the ball in the center of the video! But, when I do all this the quality of the video decreases, how can I fix that?
I have done this effect several times but in between frames the ball I am filming looks a little glitchy. I’m sure it’s because of the camera I’m using, what camera do you suggest or what features does a camera require to get rid of the glitchy-ness? Thank you !
I know this is a bit older vid, but I'm about to use this technique on ramen noodles lol. Noodles are stationary, but I'm going to try and make it work. Thanks for the great tutorial as always.
Well im using it to track oncoming motorcycles on the trail. As they come at me I like to zoom in and do a quick pause up close. Some like it when they show up on someone else video on well known adventure routes. Thanks.
You literally made my life a lot easier hahaha! Thank u so much, I've been looking for a tutorial like this for months and nothing had helped me. I finally found THE one. Please, keep making these!
Your video is great but I think that what i've done so far will affect the object center effect. Hi Javier, I'm going to be using this effect with a moving and clapping baby. I also want to change the color of the back of my moving and clapping baby but I don't want to change the color of the baby, I want to keep the baby's color original. Is the object center effect work for a moving baby which I want to move with the motion at an original maintain color? Not sure if I'm saying the above description.
I wonder if you could just automate this by doing some image search for the ball pattern for example. or you take two points in the image with which you determine zoom and rotation.
So easy to follow, thank you so much. Total video editing newb but want to edit my gopro video from snorkeling where I saw an octopus, want the octo stay centered since my person was kind of bobbing around in the current and waves.
Hey Javier, After Effects has a much better tracker but when I bring it back to Premiere Pro the resolution is all messed up. Could you please share how to keep it nice and focused importing from After Effect or is it After Effects where I'm not doing things right?
Can I use this on footage that has warp stabilizer applied? Its a hand held shot of a wine bottle. Warp Stabilizer is usually enough. However the camera tilted a little left or right in one spot. So its now a smooth tilt, but I want to eliminate the tilt altogether.
I use mocha all the time, and am well aware of it’s capabilities to quickly do this process. thanks for creating a product that solves problems and saves people time.
Was hoping for something a bit more automated but now that I think about it this process will have better quality as I'm basically aligning the center to the person's sternum rather than say the face
you dont need to use safe area to getting exact center just do a simple divide , like if your scene is 1920*1080 do this for vertical : 1920/2 =960 so frome the view menu (from add guid) make a specific vertical guid in pixle by this value and it will be exactly your center and then for horizontal do the same - 1080/2 =540 but this time from menue change the vertical to horizontal . that's it
Are you related to David Cross? I love your videos btw man you really teach things where it’s easy to understand not like the huge youtubers that only give you a hint of how to do something.
I am back, just to say... this is absolutely genius. Works beautifully. Saves me lot of time I was (until I found your video) spending editing my videos. Thanks again 💖
Using a gimbal will ease this process alot by locking the horizon. Also shooting in 4k or higher resolution for better quality after scaling so much. Good job i liked the video!
I need to keep an outdoor video centered in one background area. There's something going on and I'll be able to figure it out better If the gopro isnt panning around so much.
Thanks for the help! Very useful and informative AND easy to follow! Not like some tutorials that are a bit like "So let me just...showyouhowtoeditthisandthisishowyoudoitsaveanddone. Thanks!"
I love the explanation... but why does my video now look like there's an earthquake happening? -_- I guess I should check out "stabilize motion in After Effects" next?
I'm centering in on someone skating away from me driving towards a goal to score, zoom and center ! I'm gonna try to incorporate this. ! Wish me luck ! I have go pro on helmet I play goalie and skate out as defense as well so this technique will help a lot !
What effect should I tutorialize in premiere pro next?
Idk Man just keep teaching what you Teach THUMPS UP!

Thanks for the continued viewership Jesse!
Quick and to the point! How every tutorial should be. Great job man!
there must be an automatic method to do this based on telling it to follow the balls unique pattern. What is that command?

MY DUDE!!! used this today, hope you're well.
Heeyyyy thanks you guys! Hope you all are great too!
After Effects enters chat lmao *Does it all in one click*
SKILLZPLUR true, but this is doing that effect in just premiere, but I agree that tracking in AE is much faster.
@@JavierMercedes how do you auto track an object?
ikr, idk whats the problem with premiere
you have atutorial to this in AE
@@kamilkp thanks
Wow! Such an awesome video & super helpful even 4 years later!! Thanks man & excited to follow along as you make more.
Thanks for not overexplaining yet keeping it simple and thorough enough for beginners!
Thanks man! Hope it adds something to your next project
Javier tha KING✊🏻
waiiiit... how do you get the cursor on PP to click incrementally like that????
Very cool. I don't have a purpose for this at the moment but still I'm learning all kinds of different techniques for the future.
Another great tutorial👍.
So simple. Keep giving us easy Tuts.

Gonna use this effect to center in on ink as it moves from the bucket onto a scooper onto a t-shirt printing screen. Thanks, you rock!

up the shutter speed on your camera. that gets rid of the motion blur.

@@tjlink_ ardipanji, what kind of clips ?
@@panjismallville I have a basketball clip of me dribbling around and shooting I just want the focus on the ball
This was really useful to scale, center and rotate some drone footage. Thanks!
hello, how do i make it so that it rezooms back out at the start of the clip and at the end where there are no keyframes. I'm strugglingg
I wonder if you could just automate this by doing some image search for the ball pattern for example. or you take two points in the image with which you determine zoom and rotation.
is there a technique like this to centre an object in stop motion videos???

Hey Javier, After Effects has a much better tracker but when I bring it back to Premiere Pro the resolution is all messed up. Could you please share how to keep it nice and focused importing from After Effect or is it After Effects where I'm not doing things right?
Would a higher shutter speed make the movement look more fluid?
It makes it easier to track because there wouldn’t be as much motion blur.
Where was this awesome audio from ?
can you do this on phone? like what app do u need if u'd edit it on phone?
You saved me thanks man! 💖
Thanks so much for this! I'm now starting editing with Premiere and this video was very useful.

If you are open to using after effects here are some more options: ua-cam.com/video/NP0LhHyzYMY/v-deo.html
Hello, couldn't you create a mask on the ball and make warp stabilize following the mask?
Not exactly but you can track a mask and use it for stabilization. Check out my newest video where I show how to do it
