Summary
In this chapter, we learned how to use 2D tracking with single-point and four-point tracking, and how to use 3D tracking in After Effects. The tracker in After Effects is a powerful tool used to analyze and follow the motion of elements within video footage. It automatically generates keyframes based on the movement, allowing for easy integration of effects, text, or other visual elements that follow the tracked object’s path.
Additionally, the chapter covered the techniques of 3D camera tracking, a feature enabling the precise integration of 3D elements into live-action footage.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to collect project files and archive them in After Effects. We will also learn how to export compositions from After Effects using the Render Queue panel and Adobe Media Encoder.
