07/11 2D Tracking

Transform model

2D track – flat

2.5 track – parallax

3D track – pure 3D

2D tracking workflow:

add tracker node

make a new tracker, and place it at one corner of the TV

the first box searches within, and the second box is the search limit

Play track, and export match move one point. this creates a new transform node that links to the tracker node and has the tracker data.

The order of the track location matters.

I have seen similar tracking methods in After Effects and it was quite popular a few years ago. It is a good start to build a foundation for 3d tracking. I had a lot of fun picking out the posters and placing them in the footage.
