Wanna stick a title to your footage?
You’ll need to track it. This can be easily done using Fusion’s Planar Tracker tool…
But what if you want it to be behind an object in your footage?
You’ll need to mask it out. That just means you’ll want to draw some shapes around the object so the composited text will look like it’s placed behind.
In this video from Casey Faris, you’ll learn about:
- Opening Fusion
- Adding Text
- Matching Movement with Planar Tracker
- Applying a Planar Transform
- Adding Motion Blur
- Roto
- Animating a Mask
- Applying and inverting the mask
- Adding a shadow
