Lynda - Up and Running with the Foundry CameraTracker for After Effects

Up and Running with the Foundry CameraTracker for After Effects
1h 5m Intermediate May 09, 2014

CameraTracker allows you to pull 3D motion tracks and match camera moves without leaving After Effects, and offers greater control over complex tasks compared to Adobe's built-in tracker. Learn how to use this advanced plugin to track and solve basic shots, refine a camera solve with garbage mattes, and place objects into shots to test your tracking data. Motion graphics pro Andy Needham also shows how to use the Track Finder tools to remove bad tracking data, and export data to CINEMA 4D for some really cool sample projects, including a 3D simulation and a 3D text treatment.
Topics include:

Tracking the motion in a shot
Solving 3D camera data
Refining tracks
Identifying and fixing tracking errors
Exporting 3D track data
