Master stabilization and tracking in After Effects: traditional stabilization, the Warp Stabilizer, motion tracking and applying it to real effects. With Jorge Mochón, Adobe Certified Instructor. And you take it in your language: native audio in Spanish, English and Portuguese, with subtitles in all three.

By the end of the course you'll know how to

  • Tell when a shot calls for traditional stabilisation and when for Warp Stabilizer: the decision that saves half the work.
  • Diagnose why Warp Stabilizer is warping your shot, and fix it instead of lowering smoothness blindly.
  • Pick good tracking regions, which is where a track is won or lost — before running the analysis, not halfway through.
  • Apply tracking data to real effects: nulls, rotation, scale and adjustment layers, not just sticking on a title.
  • Place objects in 3D space with the 3D Camera Tracker, with lights and shadows that match the shot.
An excellent foundation for anyone starting out in After Effects. I took it to refresh my memory and every video is very well explained. I recommend it completely.
