Flag Animation - After Effects Tutorial

The Motion Tracker doesn't work

Thank you.

there are WAY better ways to make a waving flag using displacement maps. this one is dismal.

hello, please help, i follow this step by step, but when i got to that tracking tool part, after i set up the tracker boxes and pressed the play button, the flag stops waving and keeps static... and i have no clue whats wrong with my tracker, thank you so much for this tutorial and please help. and its so wired that i can exactly see all the frames the tracker created for that motion layer but just on the screen it doesn't show any movement ...

Does it work if I use a cdr ou svg?

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm having bad luck bringing in an illustrator file as it is cutting it off like the png. The illustrator file is all vector just a bunch of checkerboards. The only thing I would think would cause it would be the clipping mask but I can't turn it into a compound object in illustrator. Thoughts?

you are the best!!!!

how can I cut the background to insert the flag as a gif in a forum (without black or white background)? thanks

Wow that parenting loophole was a great find! Thanks for sharing the knowledge with us!

Thank you so much for your efforts!

Thank you !!! :)

This is the best tutorial i have ever seen! Easy to understand, quick and functional. Thank you so much! :^)

Great Tutorial, but all I had to do to pin the edge is make sure my graphics touches the edge of the composition or artboard in illustrator and then hit Pin Left Edge and it worked. It also pinned the top and bottom corner to make both corners attached to the flag. Hope this helps somebody else. Literally makes doing this effect a 30-second process. This tutorial was exactly what I was looking for though. Thank you!

Thanks for sharing this. It was exactly what I was looking for

Why would you let the top left of the flag not move but the bottom left? A flag is attached to the pole on both edges, not just the top left. o.o

loved it!thanks!!
