So we have stabilized footage and then stabilized footage No. So we’ll call this screen content, and there we might as well make a place holder, so just make a new solid, perhaps maybe make it white, maybe make a new solid, make it a little bit darker, put it on top of that, and then we can use something like venetian blinds, set it at ten, 45 degrees, 75 degree angle, just to put a little texture into this thing. So if you don’t know of your specific device you should Google it or measure it with a ruler, but as long as the aspect ratio is correct you should be fine. It’s important that you know the dimensions of the screen you’re replacing. So the new comp we’re going to make is going to be 960 x 640, which are the dimensions of that screen. And we just need to track the four corners of this device and then export that information to a new comp. So I’m just going to block off the part of this comp we’re interested in, so it’ll be from here to about here set your play head, trim the comp to the work area.Īnd now instead of using any fancy trackers we’re just going to use the four-point corner pin. Now we’re going to drag that onto a new composition and we will do our tracking in here. So we’re going to take this comp, and we’re going to call it footage stabilized. Now that your footage has been successfully smoothed out, the motion is less jittery and the things are less awkward to work with. This will process automatically so you can go do something else while it happens. We like the method to be position scale and rotation, and in the advanced we would like to use detailed analysis and we’d like to set crop less, smooth more to 25. The result is going to be smooth motion we like the smoothness to be at 25%. We’re going to use the warp stabilize VFX and this will automatically stabilize shaky footage. And the first thing we’re going to do is take this footage and we’re going to stabilize it. So once you’ve imported your footage into After Effects, go ahead and bring it onto a new composition. It’s not that difficult and these things will go a long way, and I hope you find it useful. This is Evan Abrams for Premium and today we’re going to be creating a fake iPhone screen and putting the new graphics into it. Some previous experience working in AE is suggested. This is an intermediate After Effects tutorial and goes through the steps quite quickly.
