there is and it's called object tracking. Issue is that you need at least 8 trackers on your object which is ridiculous. This is really just a tutorial on manual object tracking. Technically you could try speeding this up by running trackers on the 2 markers, using their position data to create a simple 1 bone rig that moves the sphere, and change scale with an expression and some drivers.

I used a single dot the ball and use the montion tracking tab to get a single tracking point on that dot, add a sphere, set the origin of the sphere to the empty track and boom location has been taken care of, now i just have to manually set the rotation, it works really well tho

This is a nice quick overview of the process, particularly the compositing, but suffers from 1 common error - you should not be changing scale unless the photographed object actually changed scale in the shot. It seems convenient, but you should always try to match the REALITY of the scene. The main reason is that you cannot properly match lighting, cast-shadows, and environmental interaction if your object is not moving accurately through space, at the proper scale. Sure, its more difficult to account for 3 more axes of motion, but that is the nature of the problem. Also, you are correct to break the sequence into large intervals, but you should find the extremes of position and key those first. Then break the intervals into powers of 2, such as starting at 64 or 32, depending on the length of the shot. Then continue breaking the intervals down by a factor of 2 until you are down to a singe frame between keys. Its common to build a rig with the Z-depth axis oriented to the camera - that will account for your apparent change in scale. Then you can choose a point, track that, and lock the object local X,Y position to that point. Then you are left with rotations, which are oriented around the single tracked point. The Z-depth axis passes through the tracked point as well.

@HagenvonEitzen

In particular, a linear movement in z direction will require a non-linear movement along the "scale axis". Using scale can be considered quick and dirty for not so much (and more erratic) depth change in the scene and no intersction with other objects

Senior Roto Artist here, It's easier if you were to analyse the footage then figure out your key poses and mark those down, then fill in the ease and outs in between your key poses. Then you pretty much got a full track without having to do by 20s or 10s. It's much easier if you look at roto/matchmoving from an animator perspective. As animation is and always will be a study of physics and movement. I'm sure you knew that but you prob didn't want to spend 10 mins explaining how animation works LOL. Also feels bad when most big studios already have a matchmoving software xDDD we're spoiled.

Professional compositor here, so I've done my fair share of roto in my time; Keying every 20 or so frames is great. Even better is key the start frame, then the end frame, then the middle, and keep subdividing that way. Even better than that, and what I do on every rotoshape or anything I'm tracking manually, is do the first and last frames, and then keyframe the key-poses. Say the ball starts at the bottom of frame, goes up, and then down again. You would put a key at the extents of each of those motions. Depending on the motion, I will then usually put a key a few frames after/before those initial keyframes, to nudge the object forward a bit while it is still slowly accelerating to its next pose. That usually captures the ease in/ease out that real natural motion has. Then I will start to subdivide the keys, and get down to frame by frame level if need be.

The music was cool but the dude kept talking and talking in the background.

Best beginner tutorial for blender

Why this is in my recommended i don't even know what this means

Funny, I did something very simmular for a shortfilm i work on atm. I have one tip for you, you can use one tracker inside the motiontracking to match the position of the sphere, then import an tracked empty and now you can keyframe the motion of your object you want to track in as in this video. The thing i also did another way was to keyframe the scale afterwards, witch could also be tracked inside the motiontracking system. This pipeline made the location tracking very easy.

thank you for sharing the compositing process, i alway feel alone when it's time to render a vfx :)

theres a video called The Octo-Bouncer where the ball position is tracked by a camera basically the only thing last is to add rotation tracking

man i was not expecting that trickshot

Scale instead of moving the ball's position in the tracking process, this is a one way off to re-do the work if you need zdepth or simulation later on.

what if instead of scaling the sphere, you set the 3d cursor to the camera position, set the 3d cursor as the origin of transformations, and set it to only change location? Then you would have the sphere moving in 3d space at least.

I don't know for what purpose you need to track a sphere, but good job, time consuming, but really amazing result!

I wish I had the equipment and skill to do this. One day i'll try though. Hopefully, it would go well.

I wanted to cry watching this tutorial

Is this one of those videos that will show up in my recommended 6 years later

I Refuse To Believe That You Really Absolutely And Utterly Undeniably Have To Do The Tracking Manually!

Note: if your ball rotates too far for two dots to account for, don't simply add more dots. Add more dots *of different colors*. That way you'll know at a glance in what orientation relative to the starting position you are in, which is important because your eye will constantly fool you regarding how far a sphere has rotated.

This is the guy who made Jesus walk on water

I think it require at least 4 points to determine orientation, but also distance from the camera. I tried something similar, but after linking empties to a track, all empties are in single plane. Now, important question - is there a way (maybe python programming) to move object or empties based of the space between them? For example, if object is closer, empties are more spread apart, if far, then empties are closer each to other. Four markers (and four empties) for four corners of the image, then some mathematics approach to reconstruct depth data? If distance between original points are known, then we should be able to use this data to reconstruct the distance between each point and the camera, not only from each to other.

@aliensoup2420

What you are describing is auto-tracking software that already exists in Blender. Yes, if you have sufficient data, use an auto-tracking algorithm - but the point of this video is how to do something when you don't have sufficient data to use auto-tracking.

Yo I've been trying to work this exact thing out for YEARS in AE to no avail. Looks like I'm finally making the move to Blender.

Pair a vertex on the ball to an empty, track the marker on the ball, parent the empty to the tracker?

This is so engaging.

i did not breathe through the whole video

Dear friend! Show how to merge audio with img sequence in blender in the end of main cg work please )

Okay, another approach: Take your entire image sequence and put it through a Hough transform to detect circular objects. You can even do this from within Blender by running a Python script that imports OpenCV and make it create/adapt a sphere that matches the state of the sphere in your sequence.

How do you mask out the Ball so the finger stays in Front of it?

I have no idea how to set up the nodes, my scene isn't rendering :(

That hyper shade node tree tho.....

are you you for real or AI robot? i was exhausted after the video... great stuff

Why would you use scale instead of depth to track? Using scale, you won’t be able to add proper shadows and shading, and your texture mapping will be inaccurate because the amount of the front of the sphere you see vs the peripherals changes with depth. In more extreme cases you will not be able to track rotation properly once you use this workflow. Is there a reason why you didn’t use software tracking or is it just not available on your editing platform? Manual tracking is not great not just because of all the work, but it jitters too much most of the time.

damn this is amazing!

I feel nothing but squarespace

Would you please explain that how you mask your finger 🤔
