Hey guys, I recently filmed this trick video with my friend Vero, another yo-yoer from Idaho, it was a pretty fun time and I put quite a bit of time into editing the video, I hope you guys enjoy watching it as much as I did making it šŸ™‚ Mike [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHT5UpmMHug) ---

Anybody who hasnā€™t seen this yet really needs to take a look. Great filming, fun unexpected elements (the ā€œfollow the yoyoā€ shot near the beginning is nutsā€¦ must try to steal that techniqueā€¦). The other thrower, Vero, is really good and someone I donā€™t think weā€™ve seen before (more accurately, I havenā€™t and Iā€™m lumping yā€™all in with me!). And of course, fantastic tricks. ---

atombomb3r: Thank you dude, Iā€™m humbled that I could be someoneā€™s reason to keep on keeping on. I remember watching videos back in 04 and 05 that had me thinking that, I wish I had told that to the makers of those videos. YourBBQ: Thank you! Sick name :wink: yoing4lyf: It might be a little hard via text but it was really simple, however it was time consuming. I saw Takeshi (i think) do this in one of his videos a long time ago and had to give it a try. I use adobe premiere to edit and it allows you to crop footage. So what I did was I first split up the trick into individual frames, and then I cropped each frame individually with the same amount of zoom (I copied the crop from one frame to the next) Then I stuck a round sticky tab to my screen and I moved each frame of that shot until the yo-yo was underneath the round sticky note. It took me about 30 minutes to do it. I bet there is a faster way, but I donā€™t know about it. If you want to give it a try go for it, but it takes a ton of time. šŸ™‚ ---

I understood what you said, Iā€™m on a regular use of editing software just not very pro at all haha. Iā€™ll probably give it a try on my next video then šŸ˜ƒ I think the combo Iā€™m working on might have a similar trick that would look awesome under the effect. Although Iā€™ve to tell you Adobe Premiere is a great software but I believe there is much better and easier ones that donā€™t require sticky notes šŸ˜› LOL If I come across any that make effects like that easier (I probably will) Iā€™ll let you know!

> [@Casey888](#): > > You basically did rotoscopingā€¦ Sort of. Iā€™m wondering how motion tracking the yoyo would work? I thought rotoscoping was that technique where you take real footage and make it look animated? I saw an ad for a video editor that was promoting their motion tracking feature and wondered the same thing-- would it work for that Mike Montgomery style edit? ---

Casey888, like what GregP is saying, from what Iā€™ve seen of rotoscoping and how Iā€™ve read the words description whatever I did doesnā€™t really sound like rotoscoping. The reason I donā€™t think it sounds like it is because what Iā€™ve seen of rotoscoping usually means something has been removed from one bit of footage and placed into another. In mine I never removed or replaced anything, I simply crop zoomed in on the yo-yo and then frame by frame moved the yo-yo back to the center of the shot until all the frames had the yo-yo centered. Iā€™m sure there is a name for this but I honestly donā€™t think rotoscoping (as Iā€™ve seen it described elsewhere, google) fits the bill. That being said, rotoscoping could be a cool idea for a yo-yo video lol
