    For people who recorded VERTICAL iPhone videos and are motion tracking in blender, and are having an issue where the ground seems to be "floating" and any objects placed keep moving around without staying still here's a solution: Click on the camera, go to camera Data settings -> Under 'Camera' and 'Sensor Fit', change the Sensor Fit to HORIZONTAL. This will make the ground plane stay in place for vertical videos.

    How to render with footage+VFX? 🙄🙄🙄 Why u didn't say.... everything went fine for me... Now my rendered footage has only added objects...no original footage 😢

  • @alexfrancis343

    You can composite over the real footage using any video editing software or compositing software like after effects or davinci (before people start bashing me that they are also used for video editing and motion graphics I know they do video editing too, but they are best at compositing that's why I counted that ) And for you brother if you don't wanna use those softwares you can do it inside blender too on the compositing and video editing workspace Thanks for reading this ❤ peace

    So for that shot, I actually used nuke to do my camera tracking, and then I use Cinema 4D to do the CGI. Traditionally I would've used blender for that project, but I was under certain obligations to only use Cinema 4D. After that, I took the CGI into nuke from my compositing and then sent it over to my color to do color and Vinci resolve for the final look. Hope that helps.

    I can't solve a problem. The points solved are parallel to each other. It doesn't fit the perspective. So when I want to select the ground with 3 points, it makes a right angle to the camera.

    It just means that those 3 points together don’t really define a floor plane that blender can find. Try another set of 3 points and try again. Hopefully that helps

    Hi Jacob, thank you for the great tutorial! I was wondering why when you rendered the cube with the shadow catcher there were 2 shadows. Is the footage casting light somehow?

  • @Jacob_Zirkle

    @Jacob_Zirkle

    4 ай бұрын

    Thank you! There were 2 shadows because I had two lights in the scene, a sun and point light. I didn’t really focus on matching the light of the CG world as I just wanted to focus on camera tracking but that would be the next process in order to add CGI into the environment.

    Do you find yourself doing your camera tracking more in Blender or Nuke? Or does it just depend. Not too many tutorials out there for Nuke camera tracking in general.

    That’s all good. Honestly you can have high solve errors at first and it’s not until you clean up the tracks for the first time that it goes way down. Look for any markers that might move off the mark or just try again from scratch. Camera tracking is a learning process and sometimes it can be a little finicky. I’ve had many times where I have to restart a camera track to change settings and then randomly it’s starts working. Just keep at it!

All my 3D stuff is invisible and im trying since 30 min to make it appear in the render but nothing works. Does anybody knows how to render and export the footage WITH your 3D stuff added in it ??

    Ehhh if you need the CG to touch the ground and not drift not really. If the CG is floating or you don’t need perfect sticking, then I think it’s ok but just know clients tend to not like imperfect camera tracks even if visually it looks ok.
