How to make the camera follow the tracked object?
Tutorial here: ua-cam.com/video/Bt_ItC3EdQU/v-deo.html
This is like my 4th time watching this cause I keep forgetting every time i need to do this lol.
Haha, glad to hear this video seems to be helping (some) at least XD
@@SurfacedStudio Aaaand here I am once again
ditto, everytime i think i got it and need to do it again i have to watch the video. Great video.
I also do that!
you need a 2nd screen!
Thank you now I can make my mlg videos
No worries :)
🤣🤣🤣
Help me?

bruh
Watching this video after one year. It was nightmare for me to follow this way back then, but today I could get everything you explained, flawlessly.
When introspected as to why I couldn't understand this video wayback, I realised that I tried to learn this without even knowing the basics like "Composite shot", "Layers" and the "track".
The problem with most of the people (including me) is that they want to quickly make videos the moment they download this software, without knowing the basics of VFX and the significance of the most important entities of VFX.
Thanks a lot for enlightening us all with all your videos. :)
You are very welcome and thank you so much for leaving this comment :)
I do agree that understanding the basics is *REALLY* important - which is why I tell everyone to watch my beginner tutorials first before getting into these ones. Reality though is most people will think "nah, I don't need to" ... and proceed to get stuck on things that would be simple if they only knew the basics :D
But that's all part of learning I guess - happy to hear that you're feeling so much more confident and can look back and feel like you've learnt a lot since the last time you were here!
This is a really great tutorial, it's explained so clear and you clearly put a lot of time into making it understandable. So thank you!
Thank you very much for taking the time to leave this comment! Glad to hear you enjoyed the tutorial!
Perfect tutorial! No issues following it at all!
Thank you!
The more I see Hitfilm tutorials, the more it seems easier than AE for me. It can be compared to Windows and Linux ( Ubuntu), at a certain level. Where AE needs a lot of ressources, Hitfilm seems way lighter. Especialy the free version ( don't know yet how is the Pro version).
Great tutorial by the way, as always.
listening to him say "poke ball" is the best
Maybe someone needs to make a '10 hours of...' video of me saying Poke Ball :D
@@SurfacedStudio XD yes! btw your video was super helpful.
love the way you explain! detailed enough to make sense and not overwhelm, also logical sequence and realt life examples within the main tutrorial. Mondo thanks!
No worries at all, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this awesome feedback :)
This tutorial was just what I needed. I appreciate how you balanced keeping things simple while not sacrificing thoroughness. I'm new to HitFilm and I had no trouble following it! Thank you!!!!!
Great to hear you found the tutorial useful :)
Thank man, appreciate your videos!
Thanks man!
That was soooo COOL . I really like your step by step instructions. I will have to watch this a bunch of times to get it down pat, but I will use it to make my videos more interesting. Thanks !
Really good and clear video. The onscreen keyboard and pointer highlight are very useful in such content rich videos. Thank you.
this is an awesome tutorial! didn't realize hitfilm could do such awesome stuff! thanks, guy! :)
You are welcome guy :D Glad to hear you liked the tutorial - there's a lot of awesome stuff you can do with the Express (free) version of HitFilm!
@@SurfacedStudio Yes! I'm beginning to learn that very much. It's a very cool and useful tool with very nice flow and I hope I get to use it a lot in the future :) and when I need more info on using it i'll definitely come back to your channel!
Amazing!
:D
Tutorial still works today, with very minor differences in appearances.
Hello from May 2021! Your channel is a Godsend btw- had to give up on Blender after it started crashing during the render process. Went with Hitfilm on the advice of someone in a discord. So far saving me an absolute boatload of time. About my second day actually working with Hitfilm, it wasn't too hard to pick up after Blender, which just made absolute sense to me and was practically completely intuitive. Hitfilm is a bit more adjustment, but already smoothing out my workflow a LOT. As in; "completely cutting out other programs I had to use" kind of a lot.
You have been instrumental in the process of stepping over, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.
Thank you so much for the kind words and taking the time to write this comment :) Really happy to hear that you're getting something useful out of my tutorials!
For video editing / compositing I'd 100% recommend HitFilm (or any other video editing tool tbh) over Blender. Blender is an awesome tool for 3D and you 'can' do video editing with it, but there's much better options if that's the main thing you want to do with it :)
@@SurfacedStudio Honestly? If it wasn't for the rendering crash I never would have switched.
I tried out a couple editing softwares before settling on Blender. I couldn't hardly use them. And, like I said, Blender made almost weird amounts of sense to me. I virtually knew how to use it from the moment I opened it. What's more, whatever I didn't know, I would partly look up and then be able to adapt in then apply to other aspects of the program. I went so far as to upgrade my computer to keep using Blender, to no avail. I'll miss it.
That said, unlike other things I've tried, I can actually use Hitfilm, particularly after changing the slice hotkey to be more viable. Your tutorials are still shockingly relevant though, even after what, four years?
Anyway, rendering out my first video done with Hitfilm now, and I do believe it's my best so far, if a bit 80's in some regards. Don't have an intro/outro reel yet, so I have to make do. ^,..,^"
I watched few videos before to learn about Motion Tracking, but the way you explain is the best for the beginners. Cheers & Thanks...
You're welcome! Glad you liked it!
Great video. Very helpfull and informative. Just what a amateur editor needed.
Thanks, great to hear you found the tutorial helpful!
THAAANKS!!! Finally I understand motion tracking! Super easy explained!
Thank you for the feedback, that makes me happy to hear!
Just the video I was looking for. Thanks a mil!
That's great to hear :) Thank you for the comment!
This was such a good video! Everything was explained really well and i didn't get lost once. Liked, Favorited and subscribed! Thanks.
Thanks for the awesome comment :)
Fantastic! Thanks so much!
You're welcome!
Insanely helpful
Glad to hear!
Oh Thank you brother I understand your problems keep trying all the best for your tutorials
Thanks for this! I use Moho and Vegas Movie Studio regularly and just downloaded HitFilm Express to up my game! Ill be watching all of your tutorials!
No worries at all :) I just released a new complete beginner guide for HitFilm Express here if you've not seen it: ua-cam.com/video/lUvGsfkeExA/v-deo.html
im trying to zoom in and make the cameras view follow the object how could i do that?
ua-cam.com/video/LbphlBNO7tg/v-deo.html
Very helpful!!!
Thank you!
crazy, i remember watching this 2 years ago and being completely clueless, now after learning the software this was one of the most simple things to follow
A lot of the stuff I show is pretty easy actually :) It's always nice to look back and really 'get' how much one improved
That's a lot of steps but you've given such detailed directions, it's easy to follow. Thanks for the tips!!!
No worries, glad to hear you liked it!
you are the best thank you so mutch
+Reallife Buddies You're very welcome :)
Surfaced Studio can i also track a Green Screen Video with this alternativ?🎥
+Reallife Buddies You can track anything you want as long as it's a clearly distinguishable feature or visual element
yep trure story you are the best nigga ever seen on this web site
Reallife Buddies ii
hiiiii
can i save .webm file in after effect?
and yes
so how to save please tell me.
No, I am not sure what program creates a .webm file, but it's certainly not a common video format
YOU ARE THE BEST!!,your tutor is clear and smart. keep it up!
thanks mate.. i'm french, so it's not always easy to understand the tutorials, but you decribe well your steps, it's easier that way for the newbbies like me!! great tuto!
Thank you for the comment :) Great to hear you enjoyed it!
How do i use this to track a zoomed in image to follow a person within a frame? Say, i zoom into the video and the zoomed box is tracking the moving ccharacter
I know this is a late reply, but here is a good and short tutotorial on how to do that: ua-cam.com/video/LbphlBNO7tg/v-deo.html
It has been 2 years but you can expand the green and red box to track the entirety of the person
Hi I was trying to do a face replacement video in hitfilm but I don't know how to match someone's skin tone with a different actor I want my face to match the actors skin tone?? Not sure what to do?
There is no simple 'match' effect. You will have to apply curves or hue/saturation effects and tweak the colour from one face until it matches the other one colour wise :)
Thank you for the reply I'll give it a try have a nice day
Thank you so much! This was so helpful, I never knew this before and this has helped me with motion tracking a ton!
Thank you, that's great to hear :)
Saved me a lot of time ! Most excellent Sir.
You look like the medic in tf2
Haha, maybe they modelled him after me - I got the German accent down pat as well :D
doctor kleiner
Great tutorial , looking forward for more content from you :)
Thank you! Aiming to get new videos out on a weekly basis :)
This is one of the most informative tutorials I have ever seen here on planet Earth (Mars doesnt have wifi, to my knowledge)
Thank you so much for the awesome comment! Just happy you liked the video! :D
Brilliant explanation! Easy to follow, got away with Motion Tracking in no time, thank you.
Glad to hear you found by the tutorial helpful 😊
this reminds me of BBC Sherlock show where text tracks around persons😎
:) You can take this a bit further and do 3D tracking, but for simple things, the 2D motion tracker does a pretty good job already
P. Kartheek Another sherlock fan! And also so true!
Mmmmm, yes, my people.....
*M I N D*
*_P A L A C E_*
I would never have imagined that i could motion track and even video edit in general, thanks to this YT channel i now can!
Glad to hear! And congrats on getting your first motion track working 😃
Thank you! A very easy to follow tutorial.
You are welcome!
how did you change the pokeball?
ua-cam.com/video/JY38kZFbGcY/v-deo.html
thank you very much.
@Un mundo feliz Check the video link I provided above in this thread :) It's the advanced version of the morph effect, but if your object doesn't move you can probably use the simple version instead
@@SurfacedStudio so.. that means hitfilm express is not capable of doing this, right?
omg this such a time and money saver. been using vegas for a while and using hitfilm is a godsend. thanks for the help!
You’re welcome :) Thank you for the feedback!
Such a fantastic video! I use Adobe premier elements for my editing and hit film express for anything that premier can't do well so this has been great! Favourites too! Thanks buddy

Thank you so much for the awesome comment and for the support :) Great to hear you enjoyed the tutorial - it's a pretty cool software package, especially considering the price!
Surfaced Studio do i need any packages for the editinv you did in this video? Also is it possible to contact you for any questions i might will have? Example while i am editing a quick question what a name of a specific effect is called? İf not i will stick to the youtube commentsection ^^
Nothing special needed, just use HitFilm Express it should have everything you need to get started. Best place to ask questions is either on UA-cam or Facebook :)
Surfaced Studio alright thank you so much for caring and replying must be hard with over 200k subs
