Sam kolder fly through effect

[Fabian5D3A]

Hello,
everyone of you mabye now sam kolder. Today i watched his best drone shot video from 2019 and i saw this shot at 1:05 where he is flying backward through a tent in the next shot and then backwards through a hole from a tree in the next shot. Then i asked google how I can do this shot. And youtube ore google didnt give me that information. Now I am asking you guys if you now how to do this transition so smoothly or to you have seen a tutorial where it shows me how to do it. I tried it a little bit and thought about 3D mask tracking. It worked but not nearly smoothles and the mask is a little bit moving.

Here the link to the video. And the shot is at 1:05 

Thanks to everyone who answers.

Yes, it's tracking and masking and a bit color matching and opacity animation.

The key is not the technique, but how well you apply it.

Here's the post: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects/mask-with-speedramp/m-p/11730982?page=1

That should get you started.

Thanks for the answers at first. But I am a complete idiot XD. Has anyone the desire to make a tutorial and post it on youtube because reading and understanding is really difficult for some people like me XD XD

I don't know of any specific tutorial that will show you how to take a drone shot that has the drone flying through the tent, run the camera tracker, create a track matte for the tent opening, then lineup and add another video so you can precisely match that shot and technique. 

There are several tutorials on Camera Tracking in the User Guide. Start there so you know how that works. Then combine that with looking up creating and using track mattes. There are dozens of techniques but the easiest way to do that for this kind of shot is to use track markers as I show in the screenshots I posted. Use those markers, that target, to add a Track Solid on the same plane (surface) as the window in the tent, create the mask, then set it as an Alpha Inverted track matte for the footage with the tent. This will poke a hole in the footage. You may have to animate the mask to keep the edges lined up.

I don't have two or three hours available to create a tutorial for you that shows exactly how to reproduce the same flight through a tent shot. I would have to find some footage that I could use for both shots, make sure the shot will camera track and that the speed of the perspective change and the camera angle is close to being the same, create the comp, record the tutorial, edit it, provide access to the footage and publish it. 

If you have footage that you want to use and can provide that I'll be happy to tell you if the shots will work and post a couple of screenshots when I get time. In the meantime, open up the User Guide and brush up on camera tracking and creating masks and track mattes.
