If you just want to slow down and speed up the action and camera movement in a shot, shoot at the highest frame rate possible and then fiddle with the frame rates using Time Remapping and Bullet Time in After Effects. Here's a short turotiral on that workflow: If you want to freeze motion or slow it down, then change the camera angle completely so it appears as if time has frozen and the camera has moved from the right side of your subject to the left side. You need a lot of cameras rolling simultaneously, or taking a bunch of stills. Let us say that you want to slow down the action, then freeze time and move the camera through a 60º arc in 20 frames, then speed up the action again. For a setup like that, you will need at least two video or movie cameras, twenty still cameras, and a device to trigger the still cameras sequentially. You then rehearse the action and roll the video cameras, then fire the still cameras at the right time. I did a few shots like that once for a music video by renting and borrowing a bunch of GoPros. This is the original bullet time workflow: You can also use a 360 camera (Insta 360) spinning on a rope for something like that kind of effect, but you'll need to kind of match the position of the camera at the start and end of the shot to try and make a match cut if you want to have the subject walk into the shot: You can even use Camera Tracking + Photoshop's AI-powered tool, and a Stool and a smartphone to kind of fake it. It can look pretty good: I hope that gives you some ideas.      ... View more

You need to set an origin and ground plane, ensuring they align with the surface. Then, add a camera and a solid to verify that the origin remains stable. You then need to find 3 points on the surface where you want the text to ride and add another solid to make sure that the solid sticks to the surface. Once that is done, you can add a Text layer, make it 3D, and then use the Shift + Parent command to attach it to the solid.    I think the only thing wrong with your shot is that you did not pick the right tracking markers.  ...

Animate Y rotation and Z Anchor Point. The farther away from the layer center the anchor point's Z value is, the larger the radius will be. It should only take you a couple of minutes.   ... View more

Right-click or click on the second icon from the bottom of the graph editor and make selections of what you want to see. I always only have Show Selected Properties checked, so only the property in the timeline that is selected shows in the Graph Editor. You can Ctrl/Cmnd + Click other animated properties if you want to see more than one.   ... View more

Try selecting the layer, then type the name of the property you want to reveal in the Timeline Search Tab. That should give you only one property to look at in the Graph Editor. Something like this:   ... View more

That shot is a job for Mocha AE, unless you have a third-party app like Siholuette. You can use a little motion tracking on individual elements, such as each arm, the hands, and fingers, and so on. Rotobrush will not be able to do the job automatically.    There is a tutorial in a series from the Boris FX Training website that demonstrates the workflow you'll need to follow.

Sometimes you need to add the dotValue (.value) to a property so that another line can find the value. Most of the time, it is not necessary. That happens a lot with JavaScript and other programming languages. I don't have time to dig into my archives to show you an example, but I have a few expression-based animation presets that do require the addition of dotValue. ... View more
