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.

Annotation is absolutely usefull, it’s essentially a quick mask tool for the markers.

Hyper useful.

One of, if not the best and straightforward, explanations of tracking in Blender I've seen. Excellent tutorial.

You deserve a follow. Strong teacher's genes, very structured knowledge and a great voice. Thank you for your contribution.

Awesome stuff, this will be a good substitute until I get Resolve Studio.

Jacob, I love the focused, stream-of-consciousness way you do this. I made it all through and learned what the various options and settings do (even if they aren't used). Thank you for putting this together.

Very good, in-depth tutorial!
I have a question: the castle scene at the end - was that all done in Blender or post was done in a video editor/compositor?

[bekircalisjr]

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.

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.

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 😢

[lucho]

i just hope you comeback to after effects for your compositing tutorials, is waaaay more ""public"" than nuke

[sirrankerous]

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?

Thanks a lot for your efforts.
Could you by any chance show how we can export the track to houdini... It seems that it's more than just exporting the cam as fbx.

It will be highly appreciated.

Thanks again
