How to 3D Track Text Onto Any Surface in After Effects (And Why It's Faster Than You Think)

Every time I shoot travel content, I run into the same problem: where do I put the title? Slapping text in a corner feels lazy. Animating it over a solid color card feels dated. What I actually want is for the text to feel like it belongs in the scene, like it’s been painted on a wall or resting on a tabletop. That’s exactly what 3D tracking lets you do, and once you try it, you’ll wonder why you ever did it any other way.
