In this blender 2.8 tutorial we go over the fundamentals of motion tracking inside blender. Specifically we go over image sequence conversion and the motion models (location, rotation, scale, affine, perspective) used for tracking. This is the first part of a 3 part tutorial series covering everything to do with motion tracking.
TIMESTAMPS:
00:00:00 - Introduction
00:01:18 - What is motion tracking?
00:01:55 -Image sequences (theory + conversion)

Quick question: do you know if it is possible to obtain the 2d coordinates of the corners of an individual track? This has to be stored somewhere, otherwise the gui couldn't show it. It seems to me those could be used for Mocha-style plane tracking...
Edit: never mind, found it. pattern_corners
thank you
Bravo for this video and these links!!
hey my prefetch doesn't Fully gets blue is there something that I can do for memory and blender cache.
@@RKV1700 yes you can. Change it in preferences under "memory and limits" ;)
This was a true master class on Blender tracking, told with incredible clarity. I can't wait to apply what you've shown here.
True Genius and good teacher.
Wow. Thank you for a free tutorial your effort will not be wasted, this channel will grow. Continue making good content.
6:41 I recommend you set it to RGB instead of RGBA. CGMatter probably already knows this but to anyone who don't: the a is the alpha channel. It is the color that computers use for transparency and if you do not have s transparent background (the video you recorded doesn't) then there is no need for the extra 25% file size it needs
4 years later, and this is gold... to understand the very hard to understand thing named, motion tracking.
Best full motion tracking course I have ever seen. I love how you increase the technical complexity step by step, where each step builds on the one before, with footage that's harder to track.
There are tons of blender modeling tutorials, not very many for cg, thanks for making these!
That's it! I'm becoming a supporter. This gold cannot go un-rewarded.
thank you :)
You do a really good "job". It's pure fun to watch your videos and learn from you. Thanks for all this good stuff on video tracking.
Wow, it's the best half and hour tutorial of consuming water I ever have seen!
IT IS NOT OK! That this video is on here just for free!
I learned so much from this it's not even funny!
But honestly, there are lots and lots of shitty tutorials. This is one of the best one. You might just helped me to land a job.
Thank you for this content!
The fact that he didn't trim out the sock and deformation thing and accepted that loc.rot.scale can track it was amazing. You are good teacher
Amazing tutorial - I can't remember the last time my attention span was engaged for an 30 minute tutorial, got through all this easy! Well presented! Much love!
Your channel deserves more exposure! Thank you for putting in so much effort in creating great quality content! Sat through the whole video! This is required watching for anyone going into matchmoving and layout work!
thank you! I really appreciate it :)
It never ceases to amaze me how you young whipersnappers easily catch on and run with complicated technology! Great job! Thanks!
This is the one and only useful video on motiontracking in blender on the internet!!!!!!! The other guys just skip steps!!!! big time! Thank you so much!
All of your videos are interesting, comprehensive, and fun to watch. Pretty much my favorite Blender series out there. You're certainly a competitor to Blender Guru.
i really like this format. reminds of older blender guru "how-to" videos which i found really relaxing for some reason. (and of course more in-depth).
Best tutorial about tracking in Blender by very very far. I checked other tutorials where they pressed buttons not explaining what they were really doing. Not the beast way to learn anything. Thanks a lot!
This in-depth, long format is the best! And you're teaching vfx concepts too! Only a few people do this for Blender, and even less do it so well like you. Thank you for the loads of time and effort that you invest in these tutorials. They are amazingly thorough, and your focus on concepts is rare, very much needed, and appreciated.
As a film guy now getting into 3D modeling, animation, and VFX vs just mainly working in After Effects this is a great tutorial. At 05:54 is a common misconception when it comes to video frame rates. The reason for the "weird" frame rate rate dates back to the analog days, pre silicon when engineers used the oscillation of the electrical cycle to create the timing. So when tv was black and white you had a frame rate of 30 or 25 based on the country you lived in because it was divisible by the electrical cycle. When they introduced color into the mix they had to change the frame rate to fix phasing issues that they had run into. So this is one of those things that's a remnant of history. The important part is that you keep in the same timebase as what your overall timeline is based in.
Oh my goodness you are amazing!!! Thank you so very much for this very in depth tutorial! It is very rare to find a blender tutorial that is as informative, engaging, doesn't drag, clearly explained and examined, and understandable as this; but also one that touches on subject matter that is under explored. I feel like you're digging up blender secrets like hidden treasure XD THIS RULES!!! Please keep up this incredible job!
This video was great for clearing up a lot of the confusion I had about tracking motion models from your previous videos. Keep up the good work!
This is the best Motion Tracking Tutorial I have found on youtube. Thanks for the good work!
Haven't even started the video yet, but I've seen your other work and I'm STOKED.
I began with 2.8 earlier this year (2019) mainly with animations. I want to get into some quality motion tracking and hit upon your videos. I've watched a lot of tutorials and whilst there's nothing wrong with 99% of the others, yours are by far the best presented and clear tutorials I've seen. Excellent! And I've still got parts 2, 3 and 4 to go! Thanks for making this tutorial both informative and interesting. I especially like to be told what happens in each case when various options are applied to accomplish the same task - as in the various motion model options that you demonstrated. Very helpful. Thanks for a great tutorial series.
I keep coming back to this tut. So much great information that could even be translated to other tracking software.
You're Godmode in this one, amazing information all in one place. Can't thank you enough!
You are an excellent teacher. Thank you for this, I've been looking for an easily to follow yet detailed breakdown of how tracking works in Blender. Look forward to ploughing through the rest!
The very best video series about tracking in Blender. Thank you very much sharing this in-depth knowledge with us. Finally I understand why to do things and not just clicking what I'm told to click. Take care! :)
OMG you're so fast! Thanks for all the amazing content
Outstanding tutorial! You are the master of motion tracking in Blender! Congratulations and thank you for sharing it!
thank you, I've been looking for a good tutorial like this for like 6 month, your channel is amazing, continue like this!
really appreciate.....slowly defining everything....really the best ingredient for new blender user........much much better the all the other tutorials which speed up without proper difinition.......thank you very much......this helps a lot
YESSSS, i have been waiting for a super extensive motions tracker tutorial!!
I don't know if you will read this but you just amaze me everytime. I'm like "I need this tutorial" and the next day i see this channel's notification with the exact content that I need. You have not good but great quality content. I hope you continue this good work. Thank you.
Of course I read comments and thank you :)
Thanks for making these so in-depth. I've been looking for weeks for something like this, I got into Blender for vfx so this is perfect 10/10
thanks for your efforts. your tutorials get me switching to blender more and more :)
Excellent video! This is a very detailed and thorough explanation of Blender motion tracking. Thanks so much.
Extremely valuable! I'm glad I watched all the way through because I was working with tracking a single point of footage from a GoPro inside the cockpit of a fighter jet and watching the instrument panel stretch and bend lol
love it thank you so much best tut out there i also only interested in 3d tracking and compositing,truly amazing thanks i been practicing 3d tracking for a while but never really understood why i need to use the diff mod in such detail
This is a great tutorial, thanks! You're a natural teacher, you structured the whole thing really well. I watched it at like x1.75 speed and had no trouble following everything too
thank you!
Best tutorial out there explained motion tracking crystal clear and super easy to follow! Thank you so much for sharing!!!!! ❤️
Wonderful clarity!! Feel so much less lost
I know your new format is getting you more views, but I wanted to thank you for putting these tutorials out. This really helped me to understand camera tracking in Blender. I appreciate all of the time and effort that you put into these. Thanks again.
Thank you for making this motion tracking so easy to understand! You've explained everything so clearly!
This is so well done, superb explanation of Mocap, probably the best I've ever heard. So causal, so patient. Careful, a company may want to hire you for training, or worse a high school. Good work man!
Thank you for this awesome tutorial! Can’t wait to play with this.
This is an outstanding, comprehensive and delightfully detailed overview of tracking in Blender. Thank you a ton for doing this!
:)
EXCELLENT series of videos. I learn soo much more by taking the time to actually LEARN how things work versus just copying or going through the motions ! :D
Thanks for the very thorough tutorial. Excellent!
Wow, most excellent explanation! Very nice of you, Thank you.
Great tutorial. Thank You very much. Perfectly prepered and explained
Dude whaaat??? I can not believe you did this how do you only have 18k subs? Thank you thank you thank you....keeeeeeep blending
Will do :)
@@CGMatter If you make Amsterdam 1st round on me ;)
Jimmy Nolan
He totally deserves more subs! I keep sharing everywhere!
Hey can you walk us through some advanced composition.
Great tutorial, great channel and great tutor
Thank you so much ,didnt find a other video that explained it so good and in depth
great and useful video as always
fantastic tutorial! thankyou! love how you've got chapters, im literally using this like an instruction manual :)
This is honestly the best tutorial ever!
Thank you so much 💕
Finished. Thanks for this man, blessings. Moving on to the next one. Promise to become a patron once my income situation stabilizes.
Thank you for this. I really appreciate the pace and patient explanations.
Amazing work here my man, excellent.
the best, hello i'm brazilian, (that's why my bad english kkk) i really appreciate your tutorials even knowing a few weeks ago, i especially loved your topics on tracing, i've never seen so good
great work very informative, go easy on your throat we need you for part 2
Wow! I'm normally wary of super long tutorials because they're usually filled with fluff or useless chatter that wastes time. Most of them are long tutorials with about 5 minutes of useful information. NOT THIS TUTORIAL! To anyone reading these comments, THIS IS YOUR DEFINITIVE TUTORIAL ON BLENDER MOTION TRACKING. Thank you so much for this and keep up the great work! You are clearly a master at your craft.
wow you really put alot of effort into this, thanks alot
Thank you man, Amazing tutorial.. Really liked it...
Incredible tutorial
Thanks a lot, most needed tutorial! You are the best!
best motion tracking tutorial using 2.8
Awsome man...Really good tutorial... Please teach us Blender completely by making such detailed videos
just soooooooooo detailed loved it
Thanks man for the tutorial. Need to relearn tracking.
So Dope! Motion tracking is where its at. Thank you!
Really learned so much. Thankyou sir.
Holy shit man. Instant sub. I think you just rescued me from a hole I was digging myself into for a project that was getting away from me.
Thank you. This was very educative!
thank you so much. great of you to share your knowledge!
Just got through this. It is excellent and clarifies a lot. Great job !
I appreciate it :)
Great indepth tutorial! Thanks a lot for this!
Incredible video. I learned a ton. Maybe I should learn how to actually use blender before going straight to motion tracking, but it's just so fascinating that I had to check it out. You explained everything pretty well, so I didn't even get lost once. Thank you
i learned so much today! thank you CGMatter :)
