Will someone motion track this for me?

I am trying to edit this clip and I have been trying to figure this out for about an hour and I give up. It is because I have never used after effects and this task seems out of my skill range.

I have a shot where someone straight airs on a follow cam, and I am trying to

a) Track text

b) Have the skier fly and block the text as he flys over it

I was wondering if someone would be interested in helping me. I wouldn't mind pay-paling $5 if you did a good job. pm me if interested for more info
 
I don't think you will find anyone that can do this well for $5.

It sounds like it will be hard to track if it's a follow cam shot.

It will involve masking or rotoscoping if you want the skier to wipe away the text in air.

Wha do you want the title to be tracked it locked to?

This is going to take someone 5-15 hours to get a solid track without pixel slip and mask around the subject. I haven't seen the shot you are using but it doesn't sound like a simple VFX shot
 
-Duplicate the clip (lay them over each other)

-mask the skier off then make everything that isnt the skier transparent on the top clip

-motion track the second clip

-profit

Use mocha built into after effects, it'll be a lot better than the built in tracker in ae. Watch some tutorials on how to do it. You may have to hand animate the track because follow cam shots are sometimes hard to track so have fun
 
download boujou (motion tracking program), it will then allow you to export the camera movement into ae so that you can add text to a separate layer and have it not move. from there you will have to mask the skier frame by frame and animate the mask to follow as he passes.

when I utilize a similar effect i use another program (cinema 4d) and add the video as a background, then stick 3d text into the scenario, then render and do the masking in after effects. the up side to using cinema 4d is that you can animate the 3d text to react to the skier (example: have the text explode when the skier hits it etc)

i would not call this an easy task though. i know what im doing and it takes me a few hours to do it correctly. best of luck though
