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.

    I was looking at a logo that had some hand-held movement added to it and I need to add something to it when I remembered "Hey, Javier had that tutorial last week, I should go back and watch that one! Gee I hope it's not just a 'go to After Effects' solution..." and MAN did you deliver the goods! I did not know about Kamil's extension but it was the biggest no-brainer purchase I've ever made. This kind of functionality is what I have been missing in Premiere Pro. Thanks again, Javier!

Great video mate, this has really helped build my confidence with this part of the editing process as I use tracking a lot and I'm so use to tracking manually that this is simply a godsend. You got a sub my man. Amazing stuff

    Sure Dave! It’s just a matter of hitting the right button when you reverse, instead of hitting the track backwards button (that re-analyzes your motion) you would want to hit the play backwards button, much like the JKL buttons or manually move the playhead back frame by frame
