After Effects question

[wait.what]

Had a question regarding the animation involved throughout this video, mostly the stuff at 0:16 and 0:23

Is that a plugin or is there a way of doing it from presets?

Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'd like to know this too. That whole video was impressive

Most likely made the shapes and such in photoshop then motion tracked them in after affects. Thats my best guess

Its actually very simple. All it is, is a simple 2d track and a small graphic. Workflow wise you would create the graphic, ie that triangle and the rolling text. You can use a number of AE built in effects to create the rolling text.

Next you would track the footage. You would then attach the tracking data to a null object. You can then parent your graphic to the null object and it will follow the video.

Its easy if your just trying to do a planar track like in the video. If your getting into panned camera moves you may be able to use mocha still but a 3d tracker may be needed on more complex shots.

There is a tutorial for doing almost exactly what is seen in the video, at Videocopilot.net. Have a look for the HUD tutorial and it will walk you through the entire process.

Thanks for the reply.
