The course is taught in English and is free of charge. Upon completion of the course, you can receive an e-certificate from LinkedIn Learning. Mograph Techniques: Retiming and Tracking Footage is taught by Ian Robinson.

Overview
  • Learn to add motion graphics and color effects to your footage, and retime the results.

    Learn to add motion graphics and color effects to your footage, and retime the results. Author Ian Robinson starts with isolating and building the base composition and tracking the footage with mocha AE, and then integrates motion graphics that reinforce the narration. He also shows how to color correct and retime your composite, whether it includes media shot at normal frame rates or over and undercranked footage.
