Digital Tutors – Integrating Titles with Footage in After Effects
English | VP6F 782 x 646 | 58 min | 375 MB
In this series of lessons we’ll learn how to composite a text title into background footage. This is a common task for show openers or to add extra information into your shot.
We’ll begin this project by importing our background plate and creating the text we’ll integrate. Then we’ll track the background plate and attach our text to the track. We’ll then learn about the uses of pre-composing and how to combine various effects to make our text look more three dimensional. We’ll then learn how to take elements from our background and layer them into our text to create the illusion that the text is in the scene. We’ll finish by doing a quick color correction and render out our finished shot!
1. Introduction and project overview
2. Importing and setting up our background plate
3. Tracking our plate movement and applying it to a null layer
4. Creating appealing 3D text effects using multiple bevels
5. Duplicating our text precomp to create shadowed text
6. Using a Luma Key to isolate our plate shadows for layering
7. Creating static shadows using our tracker and masks
8. Rotoscoping our moving shadow using multiple masks
9. Rotoing our body’s shadows to finish our shadows
10. Correctly track matting our text layers with our cutout alpha
11. Color correcting our background for increased contrast
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
Hasn’t this been posted twice before already? Well, I guess I’ll get it again, just in case! ;~) Thanks, max!
i also had to check, lolz, previously was using the application COMPOSIT.
hopefully they’ll make the same project in nuke.
regardless, the principals will be the same.
thanks for the post!
