Make graphics that move with your video.
Create dynamic graphics that enhance your existing footage. With motion tracking, you can create text, logos or graphics that smoothly follow the motion of cars, people, environmental effects or even the camera itself.
Add text that moves.
Make song lyrics appear behind a singer, key points appear with a speaker or subtitles that break the fourth wall.
Give footage a graphical feel.
Use motion tracking to add graphical effects to real-world footage. Add graphical overlays, show details and include cartoon effects in live action.
Turn clip art into visual effects.
Transform emojis and common symbols into vfx that tell a story. Add smiley faces, dollar signs, word bubbles and more to live video.
