Creating Titles : 3D Tracking

One of the final tasks of the edit was to create the titles, we decided to use Adobe After Effects. 

To start off I went through our final 2 minutes rough cut to find the clips that titles could be applied to (keeping in mind some of the pan shots were done primarily for motion tracking). Once happy with the clip I exported it from final cut pro into After Effects.


Once the clip was in After Effects, I created a new composition and started the 3D Camera Track tool and left it to Analyse the clip, depending on the complexity of the camera work would reflect the time needed.

I was then presented with all trackable points, then it was just a case of finding the right one and applying a text layer to it.

Once the text was placed I then edited its dimensions and made it look realistic with the 3D space tools

Then to add depth I added a drop shadow.

Once happy with the text and shadow I just played around with positioning until I was finally happy with my finished title.
