Hi, I'm Sahil Rao (@SahilRao1247) on Freelancer.com. With my expertise in motion graphics, 3D animation, and VFX art, I'd like to help you achieve a highly realistic addition of plates to the barbell in your bench press video. I'll use my proficiency in After Effects to seamlessly integrate the new plates using motion tracking. My experience with MP4 format ensures that the final output will match your source footage's resolution and length. I'll also pay attention to details like lighting, shadows, and motion blur to maintain a realistic look. Here's how I approach this project: first, I'll study the source footage to understand its characteristics and requirements. Next, I'll work on adding the plates using After Effects, ensuring they stay tracked to the bar through the full range of motion. Finally, I'll deliver the final video at the same resolution and length as your source. If you'd like to discuss this project further or have any questions, please feel free to chat with me on Freelancer.com.

The challenge here is making the plate swap look physically real, not just “added on” — the new 25lb plates need to stay locked to the bar, match the existing motion blur, and blend into the gym lighting without drawing attention. I’ve handled similar clean-up and compositing work where the goal was to replace or integrate elements in a way that survives close viewing. For this kind of shot, I’d track the bar carefully, match shadow behavior and perspective, and keep the final result consistent through the full rep so the movement feels natural from start to finish. You can review my previous work here: https://www.freelancer.com/u/mqazi1000 Do you want the plates to match the exact style and finish of the existing ones, or should they be rendered as a cleaner new set?

Hi, I can realistically replace the 2.5lb plates with 25lb plates while keeping them perfectly tracked throughout the full bench-press motion. I’ll match the original lighting, shadows, reflections and motion blur, ensuring the edit looks completely natural and delivering the same resolution and duration. Regards, Muhammad Mohid Ahmed.

HI I can create a seamless, realistic plate replacement that looks completely natural throughout the lift. Using Adobe Premiere Pro with professional VFX workflows in After Effects, I'll accurately track the barbell, replace the 2.5 lb plates with 25 lb plates on each side, and match the existing gym lighting, shadows, reflections, and motion blur so the edit is virtually undetectable. I understand that realism is the priority. I'll ensure the plates remain perfectly locked to the bar during the full bench press motion while preserving the original framing, timing, and video quality. The final MP4 will match your source resolution and duration with a clean, polished finish. I'm ready to start as soon as you share the footage and can deliver a high-quality result with quick turnaround. I look forward to your response. Best regards, Shahzain
