Motion Track Text To An Object - 3 Methods in Premiere Pro and After Effects

In this video I show you 3 ways on how to track text to a moving object in a video using Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects. The first method is manually key framing your text to an object in Premiere Pro. The Second shows you how to use the Tracker tool in After Effects. The Third way stays completely Premiere Pro the whole time and copies the positional path data from a motion tracked mask of an object and pastes it to the transform effect using the "Mask to Transform" extension by Kamil Pekala.

The “copying transform” part is what made me facepalm, not realizing I could do that. Before, I would edit the “+” object with what I wanted but your way is. SOOOO HELPFUL. Thank you

Your videos have helped me immensely, and they’re are such good quality overall like they’re entertaining, not just simple recording over premiere pro. Thanks man!

This is awesome Javier! My favorite part is "The more keyframes you have, the higher the possibility your text will shake!" This is true and it's so cool how you illustrated this. and Afro Javier is cool too.

Was on the fence with Kamil's plugin originally only having watched Kamil's video on it, but I'm sold on it now. Thanks for this video, it was incredibly helpful!

Buddy, you're the best! Thx for video )

[grardo]

Thank you so much, Javier. You have given me TONS of ideas for videos and ways of optimizing my editting or even use it in new styles.

Not having to launch AE for tracking like this is pretty damn great👌

[Braveindian]

SOLD. Bought it and can confirm this is legit. Nice work Kamil!

[LukeHomay]

Hey, thanks for the video. Yo! That mask to transform plug-in is DOPE! For real.

One of the best teachers of Premiere to find. Thanks Javier 🧡

[cpi]

unbelievably well explained...to the point, no wafsofte wafsofte chat...you´re the dude ..thanks!

[michaelknute]

Thank you for the After Effects motion tracking instruction! Really appreciated. How do you normally deal with an object that needs to be tracked off-screen as your tracking exits the frame?

[Praveenkumar-gugq]

well understood. Thank you you are the best teacher.

[myrealitymedia]

Great tutorial and articulation of the process.

[JulianSanchez-ttnu]

Bless you, you saved me so much time, thank you so much!

I'll admit, I'm definitely a 'taker' more than a 'giver' when it comes to tutorials/reviews, but man on man, Javier, this was such a well-done, helpful tutorial, that I just had to comment. I was an Avid user my whole life and they had an amazing, 4-point tracking option over a decade ago that Premiere still doesn't offer. It's always driven me crazy and every time I tried to find any tutorials about it, I was left unsatisfied. Your succinct, knowledgeable explanation was exactly what I needed and I'll be digging into your other videos (when my schedule allows, of course:)

10 seconds in and I'm confused although it did work, nice video!

Why doesn't Adobe add the complete tracking motion if it already works with masks? I mean, the Mask To Transform plug in isn't so expensive, but it is working on the original track from Pr...
