Playing with Dave Christenson's "DIVER" vimeo.com/746969

My first time using keyframes in After Effects, there's a lot of choppiness and misplaced anchor points (it's surprisingly difficult finding the center of mass on the divers).

Update: Oh, "Graph Editor". That's pretty neat. It evens the end out a bit.

    really cooL! Can you please explain your technique in after effects? If i were to take a stab at it i would say that your using 2d motion tracking on the X rotation of the divers and applying that to the rotation of the clip???
    still puzzled. please explain

    You're right -- I started with 2d tracking on the rotation, but it didn't really work well because the divers came in and out of the frame and I couldn't get the settings for the tracking just right. So, in the end I did it manually. Also, I realize now: you need to track two separate motions, the motion of the camera and the motion of the diver. So first, you want to do stabilization based on the camera movement, and then do stabilization based on the diver movement. Look up "after effects stabilization" tutorials, and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for if you haven't done that before.
