How To Do Text Motion Tracking In Premiere Pro CC? [Main Steps]

Import your video to the timeline
Add text by Pressing ‘T’ on your keyboard and clicking on the preview window (your footage)
Change the position & duration of the text layer on the timeline according to the position & duration of motion tracking
Make sure you’re on the frame you want to start tracking from
Click on your text layer → then go to effects controls
Change the position of the text to the point you want to track → click on the stopwatch icon to add a keyframe
Move a few frames forward → adjust the position again → add another keyframe
Don’t put the keyframes too close or too farther apart
Play through to check it out → adjust the position and number of keyframes if any issues arise

The whole process is relatively easy, although tedious. But the process becomes very complicated when you have more dynamic motion in your clip

3. After Effects

Pricing: 7-day trial, $20.99/month (individual)

Operating System: Windows & Mac

Adobe After Effects is an editor that focuses on animation & creative composition. This app has been developed as a companion to Premiere Pro for creating short & flashy motion graphics and visual effects for projects.

Motion tracking in After Effects can be done using the Point Tracker, which has one-point and up to four-point tracking. Other tracking options include the built-in 3D Camera Tracker that lets you reverse engineer a scene and the spline tracker that enables you to track masks on an object. There is also Mocha AE, a planar tracker from BorisFX. The Point Tracker is the most flexible and versatile in After Effects. We’ll use it to pin text to video.

How To Do Text Motion Tracking In After Effects? [Main Steps]

Create a new composition/open an old one and make sure your clip is imported
Create a null object by right-clicking on the window (screenshot below)
Select your clip → click on tracker → click on track motion
Two square boxes will appear
Move the squares to the point you want to track (make sure to select an object with relatively high contrast for easier tracking)
Position the smaller square on the object you want to track
Make the second box is big enough (not too big) so that the tracked object stays within this square in the next frame
Click on the analyze forward button (screenshot above)
If the square box fails to track the object at any frame, reposition it and move on
Make sure motion target is set to null object (e.g., Null 1)
Now add the text
While clicking on the pick whip tool of the text layer, drag it to the null object
Play through to check the result
You can manually change the position of the text in any frame by adjusting its position and adding a keyframe

We’re done. As we stated above, other types of trackers are also available for you to experiment with. The overall tracking functionality is much better than Premiere Pro.

4. Sony Vegas Pro

Pricing: 30-day trial, minimum $19.99/month

Operating System: Windows

Sony Vegas Pro is a non-linear video editor with the so-called “power of Artificial Intelligence.” It is one of the few editors out there that has acquired popularity among professionals and amateurs alike.

Text motion tracking in Vegas Pro is done using Bézier Masking FX (new update introduces a separate tab for motion tracking). The tracking process is automatic. Keyframes are created automatically frame by frame. It isn’t perfect, but it gets the job done in most cases. When it fails to track objects correctly, you can manually edit the keyframes.

How To Do Text Motion Tracking In Sony Vegas Pro? [Main Steps]

Import your video
Click on your video → go to the starting point of text motion tracking
Click on Bézier Masking → drag the default one to your video
A new options tab will appear & a square box with a circle (tracking box) will appear in the preview window
Go to General options → set blend to 1,000
Go to Mask 1 → Tracking → options → set the precision to high → set keyframe interval between 1 & 5
Position the black dot of the tracking box to the point you want to track
Click on start below the keyframe interval option
After processing is complete → go to tools → extensions → add text to motion track → click on ok in the text position tab
Enter your text, edit it if you want
Play through to check the result

Conclusion:

As we’ve seen above, all the editors have some kind of automatic tracking feature, Premiere Pro being the only manual exception. All of them do a reasonably good job when it comes to pinning text to video. Professionals would be more satisfied with the added versatility and control in After Effects. Filmora, Filmora, Vegas Pro and Premiere Pro, on the other hand, are better suited for amateurs.

Final Cut Pro for Free: Explore Its Features for 90 Days

Get your final cut pro 90 days FREE trial here

Liza Brown

Mar 27, 2024• Proven solutions

Final Cut Pro is one of the most used video editing software. This is a dedicated video editing software for Mac users, and now that Apple has announced its 90 days free trial, users worldwide want to know how to go about it.

Apple already had a free 30-days trial version, but now it has extended this offer to 90 days. If you have already used the 30-days free trial version or heard about this offer and want to know how to go about it, you have come to the right place. This article has all the answers that you need. Let’s get started!

Part 1: How to get and download Final Cut Pro demo for 90 days?

Part 2: Why Final Cut Pro trial won’t open?

Part 3: How to reset the Final Cut Pro trial before it expires?

Part 4: FAQ

Part 1: How to get and download Final Cut Pro demo for 90 days?

As it might be clear by now, Final Cut Pro is a professional video editing software and a product for Apple. Also, Final Cut Pro costs hundreds of dollars (See details about Final Cut Pro price here) if you choose to purchase, so the 90-day offer has come in as a massive relief for those who want to try its features for free for more days. People who are already using the earlier Final Cut Pro trial version will be able to use it for another 90 days without paying anything.

The Basic Requirements to Get Final Cut Pro

OS requirement: macOS 10.15.6 or later.
Disc space: 3.8GB minimum. Need more room for FCPX? Click this.
RAM: 4GB for basic editing. But if you want to do 360o editing, it’s better to have 8GB RAM with 1GB of VRAM.
Graphics card: Metal-capable.

What Needs to be done?

Step 1: First, you need to visit Apple’s Final Cut Pro page to download the 90days free trial version. Just make sure that your system meets the basic requirements.
Step 2: You will be asked to enter your first and last name along with your email address. Please fill in all the details. After that, click on the blue tab that says download free trial. The total size will be 2.7GB.
Step 3: Let the .dmg file get downloaded. After that, you will have to double-click the installer package to start the installation process.

Once done, you are all set to use the free trial of Final Cut Pro for 90 days. After the free trial ends, you will have to pay for the video editing software to continue using it.

There will be some limitations, though. For example, you will not be able to try the additional effects. Unfortunately, this means that even if the trial version has been extended, you will still miss out on some of the advanced features if you don’t pay.

For those who already try out Final Cut Pro and are happy with the editor, you can see how to save money with the education bundle of Apple.

Otherwise, you can try Filmora, which is much cheaper yet maybe suit you better. Click to have a try!

And for those who are trying out Final Cut Pro, here is a collection of FCPX tutorials for you to get started with!

Part 2: Why Final Cut Pro trial won’t open?

Although there shouldn’t be any issue in downloading the Final Cut Pro trial version, if you meet your system’s requirements, some customers are complaining that they can’t download or install the Final Cur Pro trial package. Well, if that’s happening, there could be a few reasons which are highlighted below.

Poor Internet Connection

The most common reason for not being able to download Final Cut Pro 90 days trial version is you have a poor internet connection. You may feel that you have a superb browsing speed, but if your downloading speed is slow, the file may encounter some glitches, eventually ending up with a broken Final Cut Pro Trial file. And once the package is broken, you won’t be able to install the installer package. Also, the downloading file is quite huge, and you need to have a proper internet connection. So, before contacting Apple to check whether your internet connection is strong or not.

Check System Requirements

To download the Final Cut Pro free trial version, your Mac system has to meet Apple’s minimum requirements. Even if one of the requirements fails to meet, you won’t be able to download Final Cut Pro 90-days free trial. To try the latest version, the OS has to be 10.15.6 or later. Your system must have 4GB of RAM and a metal-capable graphics card. The disk space should be 3.8GB. Ensure that your system meets the requirement. If the OS is not updated, update it before trying to download the package.

Try Using Another Account

Final Cut Pro 90-days free trial is essentially available for new users or those already using the 30days free trial. For those who are already on the 30-days free trial, the free trial package will automatically get extended. But Final Cut Pro already has your account details. Hence, if your previous free trial expired already, you may face some issues when trying to download, launch, or run the latest 90-days free trial offer. So, you can use another account and sign up and then try to download the newest version.

Quit and Restart your System

If you have successfully downloaded and installed Final Cut Pro but are unable to launch Final Cut Pro even after refreshing memory, probably, there is a minor glitch on your system. The primary thing to do would be trying to restart your system and then check if you are able to launch it now.

Disconnect External Devices

If you are using a malfunctioning or incompatible external device, even then, you may face problems while running Final Cut Pro. To resolve this issue, first shut down your system. Now, apart from the mouse and keyboard, disconnect every other external device that you are using. Next, reset NVRAM and now try to launch Final Cut Pro; it should operate normally now.

Part 3: How to reset the Final Cut Pro trial before it expires?

Final Cut Pro free trial version will be over after 90 days because that’s their policy. Unfortunately, this means that once the free trial version is over, you will have to buy Final Cut Pro to continue using it. However, there is a way to reset it. But first, you need to check if your Mac has swift library installed. If it is installed and running, go on and enter the code mentioned below in the terminal and then hit enter. After everything is done, the code will be executed, and the rest of the free trial version will be completed.

Code to reset Final Cut Pro 10.4.4

#!/usr/bin/swift

import Foundation

let path = URL(fileURLWithPath: NSString(string: “~/Library/Application Support/.ffuserdata”).expandingTildeInPath)

let data = try! NSData(contentsOf: path) as Data

let dictionary = try! NSKeyedUnarchiver.unarchiveTopLevelObjectWithData(data) as! NSDictionary

let mutableDictionary = dictionary.mutableCopy() as! NSMutableDictionary

for (key, value) in mutableDictionary {

if value is NSDate {

mutableDictionary[key] = Date()

}

try! NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: mutableDictionary, requiringSecureCoding: false).write(to: path)

print(“You’d better buy it”)

It’s quite complicated that you will have to enter this code manually into the terminal each time the trial expires. Regrettably, there is no way to extend the free trial permanently, so you will have to repeat this part over and over again.

But to be aware, this may lead to a ban or other punishment to your account by Apple Inc.

Anyway, it makes sense why people want to stick to their free trial! Final Cut Pro is not an affordable video editing tool.

If you love fcpx that much but can’t afford it, see how to get fcpx with the cheapest price here.

Or, you can try other powerful editors with much lower prices, like Filmora.

Part 4: FAQ

What is the limitation of the trial version of FCPX?

Final Cut Pro Additional Content, which includes over 1300 royalty-free sound effects for use in your projects, isn’t available in the Final Cut Pro trial. The trial is fully functional otherwise.

You can import media, edit, organize, add effects, color correct, export files in a variety of professional formats, and more. Get an overview of Final Cut Pro.

Is Final Cut Pro worth the price?

Final Cut Pro comes with robust video editing features, which can help you create stunning and professional-level videos. However, Final Cut Pro is not for beginners, and if $299 is a little too expensive for you, it is better to find another video editing tool that won’t cost you this much and will let you create professional-looking videos effortlessly. This is when Filmora by Wondershare comes into play.

}

try! NSKeyedArchiver.archivedData(withRootObject: mutableDictionary, requiringSecureCoding: false).write(to: path)

print(“You’d better buy it”)

But to be aware, this may lead to a ban or other punishment to your account by Apple Inc.

If you love fcpx that much but can’t afford it, see how to get fcpx with the cheapest price here.

Or, you can try other powerful editors with much lower prices, like Filmora.
