Hello guys,
I've seen this picture: https://ibb.co/JF8S0tpq
I am interested in how this editor kept the abilities HUD above "ADC CHAMPION" from the League of Legends while the champion and video are moving.
I know that I need to have one main video and one layer video.
I used a rectangle mask to cut video 2(layer) and to show only the abilities.
But now I have an issue with how to set up this pixel-perfect tracking part.
Can someone lend me a hand?
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
You are on the right track what you want is essentially motion tracking in CapCut so the cropped HUD (abilities bar) sticks perfectly to the champion as the camera moves. Here’s how you can do it step by step:
Step 1: Prepare your clips
-
Import your main gameplay clip into Track 1.
-
Duplicate the same clip and place it on Track 2 (above).
-
Right-click → Duplicate, or drag it in again.
-
Step 2: Isolate the HUD
-
Select the clip on Track 2.
-
Go to Mask → Rectangle.
-
Resize/move the mask so only the HUD (abilities bar) is visible.
-
Everything else should be hidden.
-
Step 3: Motion Tracking
-
Keep the Track 2 HUD layer selected.
-
In the top toolbar, click Motion Tracking.
-
If you don’t see it, right-click on the clip → Tracking.
-
-
Draw the tracking box around your champion (their health bar or model works best).
-
Click Start Tracking and let CapCut analyze.
-
You’ll see a blue path appear following the champion.
-
Step 4: Attach HUD to Movement
-
After tracking, the HUD mask layer will now “follow” the tracked path.
-
Drag the HUD (Track 2) to position it above the champion’s head.
-
It will stay there as the video plays.
-
Step 5: Fine-tune with keyframes (if needed)
-
If the HUD drifts a little:
-
Move the playhead to where it’s off.
-
Add a Keyframe on the HUD layer.
-
Re-position the HUD.
-
Repeat whenever it drifts.
-
CapCut will interpolate smoothly between your corrections.
End Result
Your champion moves around normally, while the cropped HUD layer stays locked in place above them (like in the screenshot you shared).
Key Notes
-
Pixel-perfect tracking: You may not get 100% automatic precision. Often, a mix of motion tracking + keyframes is needed.
-
If CapCut’s tracking isn’t accurate enough, you can use After Effects (with Mocha) or DaVinci Resolve Fusion for pro-level planar tracking, but for most edits CapCut should be fine.
-
Make sure you keep the overlay exactly the same resolution as the main clip, or the HUD mask might slide around.
Here is a demo video with tracking simulation (a moving “champion” square with a HUD bar that stays above it):
