Creating a Motion Tracking Edit on CapCut PC
Adding motion tracking effects to your videos can enhance their visual appeal and make them more engaging for viewers. In this tutorial, we will show you how to create a motion tracking edit on CapCut, a popular video editing app.
Step 1: Select and Scale Your Video
The first step in creating a motion tracking edit on CapCut is to select the video you want to use. Open the app and import the video by tapping on the “Import” button. Once the video is loaded, use the pinch gesture to scale it to the desired size.
Step 2: Add Text and Select the “Add to Track” Option
Next, we will add text to the video. Tap on the “Text” button and select the text you want to use. Once the text is added, select the “Add to Track” option to have it remain on the screen until the end of the video.
Step 3: Choose the Dot Method and Place the Dot
To create a motion tracking effect, we will use the dot method. This involves placing a dot on an object in the video and then tracking its movement. To do this, place the dot in the middle of the object you want to track. In this tutorial, we will be tracking the movement of a person’s nose.
Step 4: Set the Keyframe and Position the Object
Now that the dot is in place, we will set the keyframe and position the object. Select the first frame of the video and tap on the “Keyframe” button. Use the dot as a reference and position the object’s nose on top of it. In this case, we will be positioning the nose on top of the dot.
Step 5: Repeat the Process for Other Frames
To create a smooth motion tracking effect, we need to repeat the process for other frames. Use the arrow keys on the bottom of the screen to navigate through the frames. As you move to the next frame, use the dot as a reference and reposition the object so that it lines up with the dot. Repeat this process for all frames in the video.
Step 6: Delete the Dot
Once you have completed the motion tracking process, delete the dot from the video. The final result will be a smooth and seamless motion tracking effect, where the text or other elements added to the video follow the movement of the object.
Tips and Tricks
– Be patient as the process can be tedious.
– If you’re tracking a face, try to track the eyes or nose as they tend to move more.
– Adjust the keyframes as needed if you notice any jumps or errors in the movement.
