    In this video tutorial, F Visuals teaches how to create a car tire shine effect in Adobe After Effects using Mocha for advanced tracking. The process starts with duplicating the clip and renaming the duplicate to 'wheel'. Mocha, a powerful tracking software, is applied to the wheel clip for more accurate results than After Effects' native tracker. After adjusting the shape to match the tire, Mocha tracks its movement. Once satisfied with the tracking, the process continues by applying a mask in After Effects, adding a glow effect, and tweaking the settings for a realistic shine. A new solid line is created and animated using a pen tool to give the appearance of a moving shine. Finally, motion blur is applied to enhance the realism, completing the effect.

    going to be showing you guys how to do
  • 00:00:09
    the car tire shine effect on after
  • 00:00:12
    effect so first step is grab your clip
  • 00:00:17
    and click contrl D to duplicate it
  • 00:00:20
    you're then going to right click and
  • 00:00:22
    rename it to wheel then you're going to
  • 00:00:26
    search up
  • 00:00:28
    mocha in your effects and preset now you
  • 00:00:32
    have to download this application but
  • 00:00:34
    I'll leave a link down below it's free
  • 00:00:35
    as well so you're just going to drag it
  • 00:00:38
    onto your wheel clip and click on Mocha
  • 00:00:42
    continue after you open up mocha click
  • 00:00:45
    on the circle if you're doing a tire
  • 00:00:47
    like me uh essentially what mocha does
  • 00:00:50
    is it tracks just like after effects but
  • 00:00:52
    the tracking on Mocha is way better so I
  • 00:00:56
    recommend you use this instead of normal
  • 00:00:58
    tracking on after effects after you
  • 00:01:00
    shape your tire to the perfect shape
  • 00:01:02
    you're going to click the arrow with a t
  • 00:01:04
    for
  • 00:01:06
    track after your tracking is done you
  • 00:01:09
    can go back and forth to see if it's
  • 00:01:10
    good mine is good so on the top left
  • 00:01:13
    you're going to click on Save and then
  • 00:01:15
    close mocha next step is to click on the
  • 00:01:18
    mat arrow and click on apply mat now
  • 00:01:21
    when we toggle off and on the first clip
  • 00:01:24
    we can see that our tire is tracked the
  • 00:01:27
    next step is to search up glue low in
  • 00:01:30
    the effects and presets and drag that
  • 00:01:34
    onto your wheel clip as well for this
  • 00:01:36
    clip I'm going to play around with it
  • 00:01:38
    and maybe put something like
  • 00:01:40
    27% on the radius 60 and the intensity
  • 00:01:45
    maybe 1.2 then change the color A and B
  • 00:01:48
    both to White and change the glow colors
  • 00:01:51
    to A and B colors after that what you
  • 00:01:54
    want to do is right click and you were
  • 00:01:55
    in the surface click new and create a
  • 00:01:58
    new solid we can call this solid uh line
  • 00:02:02
    then what you want to do is toggle off
  • 00:02:04
    your line grab the pen tool and make a
  • 00:02:09
    rectangle after that what we want to do
  • 00:02:11
    is click on toggle switches and modes at
  • 00:02:13
    the bottom over here and change the
  • 00:02:16
    wheel to
  • 00:02:18
    line so we can see that the effect is on
  • 00:02:21
    the line now after doing that you can
  • 00:02:23
    press M on your line and you have all
  • 00:02:25
    these options so you can change your
  • 00:02:27
    Feathering for the glow to look more
  • 00:02:30
    realistic so maybe change it to
  • 00:02:33
    117 the
  • 00:02:36
    expansion maybe 20 yeah that's good then
  • 00:02:40
