How to make the camera follow the tracked object?

[wonk]

This is like my 4th time watching this cause I keep forgetting every time i need to do this lol.

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. :)

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!

Perfect tutorial! No issues following it at all!

[jenkgar]

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

[slocmz]

With your tutorials i learned so much, that now iam an advanced hitfilm vfx user!

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.

I watched few videos before to learn about Motion Tracking, but the way you explain is the best for the beginners. Cheers & Thanks...

This is one of the most informative tutorials I have ever seen here on planet Earth (Mars doesnt have wifi, to my knowledge)

[xEastCoast]

Great video. Very helpfull and informative. Just what a amateur editor needed.

[squadleader]

Who holds a pokeball like a sane person?! No one, that's who. Lol. Thank you for taking the time and effort to put this series together, it's been supremely helpful.

[DevNetic]

THAAANKS!!! Finally I understand motion tracking! Super easy explained!

[teckelknut]

I would never have imagined that i could motion track and even video edit in general, thanks to this YT channel i now can!

[alastairpalm]

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!

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

[DimiArt]

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
