Camera Tracking

Master Blender Camera Tracking and Green Screen VFX to create cinematic scenes

Add Drone and other live footage to your workflow by using built-in tools from 3ds Max and Adobe After Effects.

3D camera tracking is so much fun! It allows you to place any object into a video clip as if it were there physically when the footage was shot. It seems like a really complicated subject, but After Effects has a really powerful camera tracker that can make it a completely painless process.

Knowing how to correctly track a shot is one of the most important skills you can learn to get a job as a junior VFX artist. In our camera tracking tutorials we show you how to use the industry-standard PFTrack software package to realistically track 3D objects inside live action scenes. At the end of the course, you will have a completed scene featuring photo-realistic 3D objects seamlessly tracked, lit and animated, ready to drop into your demo reel. This is the only online Camera Tracking course available that explains camera tracking in so much detail. All you need to get started is a working knowledge of Maya, and we’ll show you the rest.

Written by a matchmoving expert, this book is much more than a technical primer. It helps you think like a pro so that you can find the right solution for your matchmoves, no matter how tricky. You'll also find coverage of tasks that commonly go hand-in-hand with matchmoving, along with advice on the contributions you can make on the set of a live-action shoot. Whether you're a student or professional, Matchmoving: The Invisible Art of Camera Tracking gives you the knowledge and perspective you need to quickly and successfully solve every matchmove.

In this series of lessons we'll learn how to use the 3D Camera Tracker in NukeX. This tool lets us track our live-action footage and create a camera in Nuke's 3D system that matches our real-life movement. This allows us to place 3D objects correctly and have the animation done automatically.
