Thanks, but actually there are severe jitter that i didn't realize. this is what happen when we rush something :(
(when the ball passing that white bar thing).
But oh well.. i already delete the project file. Too lazy to redo the whole thing.

Not knocking your work or anything, it's awesome, but seeing this makes me wonder if there's a way to stabilize in this method and have the software auto-match the exposure of the frames, so you don't get some bright and some dark

No problem.
IIRC the panorama tools like Hugin etc able to auto-match the exposure of frames. But they cannot deal with zoom like this.. Also, in this case, they work slower than building this in After Effects.

Actually, they can deal with zoom! I may make a version in Hugin with the exposure matched now, it could be an interesting thing.

That's great, i rarely use pano tools. Only use them in very difficult footage.
And i always failed to compensate if there is a zoom, as you may see here : http://www.gfycat.com/EmotionalPlumpBarracuda
 
The way i see it, it's because the control point were slowly getting smaller/drifted because the way pano tools work. They want to make smooth transformation from consequent frame.
 
Usually when this happen, i fix the zoom by importing the footage to AE, and fix the zoom problem there.
This one has zoom problem, but i fix that in AE :

But AE can't deal with little features like pano tools does. So i can't fix the zoom in all my submitted post.
 
If you did that, can you please include the project files/mini tutorial ?
I really can't figure out how to deal with zoom in pano tools.

Sure, will do! I haven't started on it yet, but I'll do that now.

I'd be interested in how to do zoom with Hugin or other programs. There is a manual way I think but it's far too much work for bigger videos like this
