![]() ![]() It is a very good way to handle some pretty extreme perspective changes and lock a graphic or replace something in a shot that would be would be difficult to do with other techniques. My technique for that would be a modified version of this tutorial. ![]() There probably isn't much real perspective and parallax change available in the image to calculate and replicate a real camera.ĭepending on the shot you may be able to use Mocha's corner pin tracking to get what you need. ![]() I am not sure that AE's camera tracker would generate a good track because google earth uses an orthographically rectified images to recreate it's google earth maps and translates that into a spherical map. This will give you a very close duplicate of the examples you provided. The animation preset links the anchor point of the stabilized layer to the position property of the null and uses a little math on scale and rotation to remove the stabilization from the original layer and add the motion to the path. Then I would draw your race path using the pen tool, animate using trim paths, then add a null, name the stabilized footage "stabilized" and use this animation preset on the null.Īfter you have applied the preset to the null move the CTI to the start of the Motion Stabilize keyframes in the 'stabilized' layer and parent the footage and the path to the null. If the start of the path moves off the screen after stabilizing then put a layer marker on that frame, delete the keyframes to the right, then start another track so you can splice the moves together. You may need to motion stabilize scale and rotation. Then I would stabilize the motion so the google earth move goes away. I would capture your google earth footage on at least a 4K monitor using a good screen capture program. If I'm not explaining my use of Trim Paths clearly, this link to one of my hiking videos shows my use of Trim Paths, which starts at the 00:01:40 mark and lasts about 30 seconds.ĭay Hike: Six Trails Loop ~ Sandia Mountains ~ Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA - YouTube ![]() I can use the track on the GEP tour as a guide, like I'm doing with Trim Paths, then recreate the GEP tour with the original track line turned off. So my question: Is it possible to do something like I'm doing with Trim Paths on the static map, but also do it for the track on my GEP satellite tour, and somehow have the track remain attached to the right place on the GEP satellite map as the map moves around and changes orientation and camera angle? I really need the track line to draw itself out as the tour unfolds, rather than have the entire track displayed all at once. If any of you are watching the Tour de France, what I'm trying to achieve is very similar to what NBC is doing on the pre-race show when they explain what the riders are faced with for that day's segment of the race. So I simply have a fly-over that follows the track line while the map moves around showing the satellite landscape imagery along the way in 3D. Unfortunately, the GEP tour displays the entire track all at once and I can find no way to attach a direction arrow that moves along the track to show where I am as the tour unfolds. I have also imported my GPS track into Google Earth Pro (GEP) and will create a "tour" using satellite imagery, which I will then turn into a movie, also using GEP, and then convert the M4V video file into a format that Media Encoder can digest. I will also be animating the elevation profile that goes along with that track. I am currently using Trim Paths to animate my GPS track that sits on top of a static topographical map. I am a mountain hiker and I use Pr and Ae to create videos of my hikes to post on my hiking blog. ![]()
