Using the 3D Camera Tracker in After Effects

In this tutorial I will show you the basic steps required to solve a 3D camera using video footage in After Effects. This allows any 3D layer within our composition to move naturally - as if it were in the original shot. Camera Tracking is quite simple, so let's dive in!

I love your tutorials. You are very good at what you are doing. You are one of the best I've found on YouTube. And I've watched thousands. :) Thanks!

New to after effects and really enjoy your teaching style! Keep up the great tutorials, can't wait to see new vids from you in the future!

Great Video! You point out so many important things about tracking and 3D Placement Understanding. No other video showed the importance of selecting the 3D box of the object you are linking. For some reason, my object wasn't moving with background and I have spent hours watching videos and trying to figure it out!

Thanks for another great tutorial. I did not understand where to download the practice files. It's been a while so maybe they are not accessible any more...?

Would like to follow this but where are the files?

This isn't working for me but I followed all the steps you did
