Introduction

This is the result we're going to create: the top of a skyscraper locked in place on the screen as the drone camera flies by, while the city around it moves dramatically. Let's get started. Hello, welcome back to the complete Adobe After Effects series from Cerdas Inovasi Digital. In addition to the Warp Stabilizer, After Effects has Stabilize Motion in the Tracker panel. The difference is that Stabilize Motion precisely locks a specific point on the screen based on the tracking data we can check.

Step 1: Select Key Points

Create a composition from the sunset building footage. The drone camera moves down and forward. We select the highest building top in the center, its dark silhouette contrasts with the orange sky, making it easy to track.

Step 2: Stabilize Motion

Select the footage, open the Tracker panel, then click Stabilize Motion. The Track Type automatically changes to Stabilize, and the Motion Target is the footage layer itself. Check only Position. Track the point to the top of the building, enlarge the feature box to cover the roof and the sky, then click Analyze Forward.

Step 3: Analyze Forward

The point follows the top of the building slowly descending on the screen for 5 seconds.

Step 4: Apply

Click Apply, X and Y. Unlike Track Motion, this time the footage's anchor point is animated, opposite to the camera movement. As a result, the top of the building remains in the same position on the screen. Because the footage is shifted, the bottom edge of the composition is now empty and black.

Step 5: Close Empty Edges

Increase the footage scale to 120% until the empty edge disappears. The scale is centered on the anchor point, so the top of the building remains locked.

Step 6: Preview

Rotate the 5-second preview. The top of the building is locked and still, while other buildings move due to parallax. This technique is often used for focusing effects on an object or before attaching graphics.

Done!

Done. We have now differentiated Stabilize Motion and Warp Stabilizer. Using the Stabilize Track Type, tracking the top of the building, applying the data to the anchor point, and closing the empty edge with scale. In the next episode, we'll use three camera trackers.
