<p>Looks like text moving to a "Motion Tracking" effect.</p>

<p>Examples:</p>

<p><strong>2D position only</strong><br>

            </div></div></p>

<p><strong>3D position, scale and angle</strong><br>

<p>I like to know how to do this effect but I don't know what is the term/name for it. The video above around 10 - 12 seconds in with how the title seems fixed to a point in the video despite movement of the camera.</p>

<p>There is also a similar effect if you had watched House of Cards the parts where they are displaying sms messages where the text appears above their phones and moves a bit according to it.</p>

<p>It would be okay to just give me the name of the effect ... I'll do the rest searching for tutorial in YouTube. But a instruction video would also be nice.</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

Looks like text moving to a "Motion Tracking" effect.

Basically it finds and follows 1 or more points in a picture then moves the text accordingly.

If you use 2 or more points you can track the 3d angle also.

Examples:

**2D position only**

**3D position, scale and angle**
