For anyone on Mac who is having the problem with the file not showing: Find the file that you exported from AE, rename it with .json at the end. Now it will show when you try to import it into blender.
Also copy focal length of camera in After Effects and past it into appropriate place in settings of camera in blender, otherwise tracking will work bad, as I found in my case
Thanks😗! It kind of work but the result in blender was a bit off. 🎥I had to check my camera parameters in after effect and apply them to my Blender camera 🌡 In Blender / Camera Data, change the Lens Unit to "field of view" to diplay the number in degrees° and copy the "angle of view" of your camera in Afx You may also have to change your "sensor fit" in blender to match the "film size" in Afx hope it helps!
You literally saved my project. I was struggling so hard for days with the stupid tracking system of Blender. Your tutorial executed the track in a single click. Thank you so much.
@@ALex389x After spending hours and hours, I disagree. AE gave me a far more accurate track in a fraction of the time it took for me to setup the tracking in Blender
Hello, I have a question, I do all the steps and it's perfect, but when I want to render the video I only see the object without the background, how can I render everything and have it come out with the video in the background or do something there, thank you
I have an issue with this technique. When I import the json in blender, all is there but the camera has no keyframe on position nor rotation. Even if it was successfully tracked in AE. I switched to AE 2025, didn't have this issue before, could it be it?
such a life saver. thankyou bro. but i have one question if you dont mind. when we get to blender the orientation is not leveled to the X,Y,Z how can we fix that without ruining the tracking data
Couou merci pour la vidéo, mais par contre j'ai un petit souci je ne sais pas si tu peux m'aider en commentaire, mais quand je suis sur blender a la fin et je clique sur F12 pour voir le rendu j'ai pas l'arriere plan (LA vidéo) malgré que j'ai cochez sur transparent. Tu penses m'aider ?
Awesome tutorial! However it seems like I can't import into blender. I can't find the file that I exported from AE, can someone help me out? I get an error saying: Python traceback (most recent call last): File "directory......Application support/Blender/3.6/scripts/addons/import-comp-to-blender.py" . line 351, in execute with open (self.filepath) as f: isADirectoryError: (Errno 21) is a directory: " *directory of my file* Thanks!!
Tried this today, the ground plane in blender is sliding pretty dramatically. I've made sure to move the keyframes to start at 1 and did as another user suggested, changing to camera parameters to match those in after effects, to no avail. Edit: Composition framerate wasn't adjusted, feel silly.
Hi, it works perfectly but i have just 1 issue. How can i set the world origin? I do the track in AE, i import it to blender and all that, easy, but in Blender the camera and the plane gets off from the world origin and everything its rotated, so if i want to add objects i have to match everything to the orientation of the plane, or parent everything to a null and try to aline it by eye to the world origin, but obviusly it doesnt get perfectly alined so it looks a bit off
brother camera does a great job but when i imprt plane and camera they are in pretty much large scale and i dont know how to make them fit to real world scale to make a 3d set in blender using this data
I can't see my object in rendered view. I did compositing but that background has rendered but my object (monkey head) didn't render. What am I doing wrong?
Hey there! This video was helpful, but i am having an error. I am doing every single step, but my camera is not showing up in blender, Pls I need help.
Fala mano poderia me ajudar, sempre quando renderizo o video so renderiza os objetos e o video de fundo nao aparece, sabe como faz pra o video aparecer?
I felt that after effects smarter and better in motion tracking than blender , which in blender I need to set the camera with axis and try try try try with detect features
Man ,it was helpfull but now im stuck can you please tell me how to fix the rotation of the camera when i export the tracking data the video in blender is horizontal,and it was shoot and tracked vertically?anny advice?Thnx in advance.
hmm thats weird, i literally tracked a vertical video a week ago and it imported correctly into blender. maybe switch the horizontal and vertical blender camera resolution? so instead of 1080x1920 make it 1920x1080. does that fix it?
Thank's a lot m8! But how can i align solid and camera with the Blender grid? :C I managed to fix the position of the camera and the solid but I'm still having problems with the rotation... How can I align the solid with the ground?
heey, dont know if you still need it, but you can simply do one more step to ensure the origin is right: after the tracking is done, instead of creating an object and camera in after effects, select the option "define origin and horizontal plane". THEN you can create the camera and the plane object. When you import to blender it will be perfectly on the floor plane :)
its always a guy with few subs who solve our problems thanks buddy.
exactly, I could have spend 3 minutes instead of 2 hours but I didnt find this earlier. Nice!!!

@@magamihai hi im just got the result. You need to zip the file first and then blender can read the file. Hopefully can help
I've done .Jason as well as zipping it's still not showing any idea why
no bullshit , no wasting time , directly to the point , Excellent . Thank you
