3DEqualizer - Matchmove Stock Footage With No Data - Part 1

[@renzo700]

Single most useful tutorial about learning a new tracking software, working without camera information, and some of the basic thought process behind tracking as a VFX pipeline task that I've ever seen.

[@Sachin-gm8xo]

Accidently stumble upon your channel and found the content are gold.. I am an animator and was looking for matchmove plates and it is hard to find. I hope the tutorials will help my work in a big way. Thanks Josh for sharing your valuable knowledge with the community ! Keep up the good work mate ! Cheers !!

[@VFXTutors]

that's so nice, thank you. im glad they have been helpful to you :)

[@NLucifer]

I love you! Having nightmares and headache with footage that was distorted beyond imaginable - this video helped a lot. Was having minimal deviation 53 px, now its 0.28 px 🎉🎉🎉

[@VFXTutors]

thats great! i'm glad the tutorial helped :)

[@blakejohnson4834]

Onto part 2. :D I hope to be a gun with 3DE and make awesome tracking footage. Thanks a million for the excellent tutorial VFX Tutors. With love from Australia

[@mvinch101]

23:50 you can actually just click align to key button and it's gonna automatically snap that point. that's a lot quicker and easier than doing it manually

[@MattScottVisuals]

33 mins in was epic...thanks again for such amazing content!

[@VFXTutors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great tutorial sir these is really a much helpful hi myself Rony an VFX student from India

Loved the video mate, keep making a lot more of these, will be going through your entire channel as i want to learn this software inside and out.

[@VFXTutors]

Thank you, I’m glad it was useful, there’s plenty of tutorials to get you to a great level, also loads of free data to practice with :)

Sir,thank u....pls continue

[@_soupmaster_]

Hey! this is a great tutorial thanks so much for doing this :) I am kinda into tracking and I was wondering if you think its doable to track Iphone shots? I got a pretty old iphonex and doing tracking on the videos I shoot with it. The thing is that sometimes I got weird results

[@redgreen2768]

Super tutorial 👏 sir.

[@Wizeacre621]

Hi there Josh, I dont suppose you could cover ImageWarp at all at some point soon at all? Warp4 doesnt seem to exist anymore and I'm at a loss at how to export the undistorted/distorted footage into Maya. (And unfortunately at my uni we dont have any slightly older versions of 3DE)

[@VFXTutors]

@@Wizeacre621 sure, I might go through a 3de basics thing at some point, But all you need to do is export the nukeLDnode and import that into nuke, make sure it’s set to undistort, reformat to original resolution then render the image sequence

Hi, how can you track backwards from any point on the timeline?

[@Shadow_s_VFX]

Hi Sir! Your video helped a lot! For me and for everyone! Can I ask, sometimes our point can't be solved? Even I picked them and force full point to calculate and set them all to active?

[@ritamkundu9561]

Hello Sir, I'm a beginner in matchmove and when I'm trying to track points and solve them, few points are going behind the camera. I don't understand why is happening that and how can I resolve this. Please help me with that issue to resolve🙏

[@anxhelo7383]

damn im so glad i found ur channel.

[@testtv2688]

thanks sir , how i can know if ratio between width and length is correct 5:49

[@VFXTutors]

hey, so in this tutorial we are solving as if we had no data, but we took a guestimate of the focal length then solved the film back, you should only solve width then the ratio will be automatically corrected to the footage resolution

[@Murathanaksoz]

Curse this vertical video trend. I want to ask if we should change the sensor sizes' places when holding a camera or a recording device vertically.Thanx for all videos.

[@VFXTutors]

Ha ha yeah, I don’t like vertical video tbh, Iv not actually don’t any vertical video shots, I’d try setting the sensor size to the vertical format,

[@redgreen2768]

Please upload more mathmove tutorial sir 👏😍💓😃👏

[@olegkotsar4513]

How do you correct point postiion with such small step at 33min? Which shortcut?

[@VFXTutors]

If you use your number pad you can nudge the points very slightly

[@olegkotsar4513]

@@VFXTutors Thank you!

[@ZodiacII]

How do I import measured field dimensions into the scene. I'm an fx artist so most simulations have to be done in real world size. Is there a way to tweak that in 3DE?

[@VFXTutors]

Ideally, if you have measured set dimensions, you should try to model the geo as close as you can, then import that into 3de and survey to the geo

[@virajrajoriya2699]

Nice plz make video for blury shot

[@VFXTutors]

that's coming soon :)

[@jaehuigwak6660]

When I did set bigger samples in adjustment control? And Could I request to explain each of Lens Distortion Model?

[@VFXTutors]

you can set the samples higher as this can sometimes give better results, but usually the default is fine each lens model is for the different type of lenses you'll encounter, most of the time you'll work with Classic LD or Radial Standard as these are used for spherical lenses, which are the most commonly used lenses. Fisheye is for fisheye lenses, I rarely use this as filming with fisheye lenses causes a lot of problems and doesn't look nice. Anamorphic is or anamorphic lenses, these are very different to spherical lenses as tey have an eclipse shape glass to squeeze the image, this allows for a wider aspect ratio. anamorphic is notoriously difficult to work with for 3de gives you a few distortion models to help with solving anamorphic properties. but usually you'll only come across anamorphic footage whilst working as they are very expensive lenses. hope that helps?

[@jaehuigwak6660]

@@VFXTutors What is it difference classic lens between radial standard?

[@VFXTutors]

classic is just a very basic distortion model, i use this for shots I have no data on as it solves very basic parameters, if you use the more advance one it might give you odd distortion results, but if your track it good, they will both do the same job Radial standard you have a few more parameters to adjust if you need, these mostly get used for big focal changes or wider lenses to help with distortion

[@amitkeshari2992]

@@VFXTutors why do you choose infinitely distant option sir

[@VFXTutors]

sometimes 3de doesn't quite find the depth of the background and can give you a weird horizon, when you select a point to be infinitely distant, your saying there is no more paralax beyond this point and the furthest away, it can help a lot with shots where you have a huge distances like in this shot, hope that helps?
