After Effects gurus Chris Trish Meyer of Cybermotion have shared a fantastic free tutorial (PDF), compliments of Artbeats latest newsletter. They quickly and efficiently cover how to use Adobe After Effects to replaced a data screen, using AE’s built in motion tracker. It’s a quick tutorial at just 3 pages long, but they cover a lot. Here’s a few excerpts:

*Since we’re tracking the difference between the light bezel and
dark screen, set Channel to Luminance.

*You can usually leave Process Before Match off. If the footage is
blurry, enable it and choose Enhance; if it’s noisy or grainy, choose
Blur.

A good read. Hopefully you’ll learn as much as I did.
