As you look at the comp youвЂ™ll see two boxes, one for position and one for scale (there will only be one box if you just select position). I select вЂTrack MotionвЂ™ andВ my source and the checkboxes for position and scale (may or may not need rotation). I then go to Animation>Track Motion and it brings up a diaglog box with a bunch of options. At this point I grab the Text tool and type a title onto the footage. Once youвЂ™ve identified the clip you want to add titles to, youвЂ™ll right click and select вЂReplace with After Effects CompositionвЂ™ and see that After Effects drops the clip into a new comp.

I also like the cinematic feel of dropping 48fps footage onto a 24fps timelineвЂ¦it just seems like itвЂ™s the perfect speed for aerial footage. I like the flexibility of 2.7k footage and being able to position, crop and scale it in a 1080pВ frame. When I first drop my clips to the timeline a dialog box appears asking to conform the clip to the timeline (ieВ resizing and changing the frame rate) but I do not. My master sequence is set toВ 1080p and 24fps. The footageВ I shot for thisВ piece was at 2.7K and 48fps вЂ“В IВ chose not to shoot at 4K because I donвЂ™t really feel itвЂ™s necessary for my audience as itвЂ™s mostly forВ the web and my machine is вЂpre-4KвЂ™ configured and about 4 years old (IвЂ™m working on a new build). It was a fun project to work on but not without its challenges! I will attempt to break down the process a bit (oh andВ this is my first blog post so please bear with me).В рџ™‚ДЇirst youвЂ™ll want to import your footage into your preferred non-linear editing platform вЂ“ I happen to use Premiere Pro as part ofВ the Adobe CC 2014 Suite. I usedВ my DJI Phantom 2 with a gimbal-mounted GoPro Hero 4В to capture all the footage. This video I recently shot in Zilker Park in Austin, Texas was my first attempt at motion tracking and adding titles to aerialВ footage.
