I already have geo tracker and use it in combination with blender to create 3d visual fx just wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge on a free platform such as youtube ive been learning for the better part of three years and have come so far due to people like you Thank you

WOW... Incredibly detailed and super useful tutorial! Thanks Flo!

thanks for the nice feedback!!

[@vajidkm]

The video I worked on using Geo Tracker was truly fascinating. The software's ability to track and integrate 3D objects into real-world footage was seamless and provided an incredibly realistic and immersive experience. It allowed me to push the boundaries of my creativity and achieve effects that I had previously only dreamed of. As a VFX enthusiast, I find joy in exploring new tools and technologies that enhance my skills and bring my visions to life. Geo Tracker has certainly become one of my favorite tools, and I am eager to fully unlock its potential in the full version.

[@flo.motion]

I coul not have said it any better!!

[@msteelefinley]

I remember when Geotracker came out for Nuke back in, I think, 2018. I wanted a version so badly for AE. As soon as they announced the beta last year for AE, I have used every release until they made it pay only. It saved my bacon on several shots that I could have done in other software with a lot more time and tweaking. It solved a tracking phone comp on a TV series that we tried every other method and tracker for in a few clicks. It tracked a person's head (We actually used a pretty high poly 3d scan of the actor for amazing results) to open up the actors head as if they were a robot. It was 100% perfect in no time at all. Geotracker makes the technical part a simple, fast process so that the creative part can take precedence!

[@flo.motion]

Such a timesaver indeed!!

[@nmcgirr1]

This is a great tutorial! I recently made a superhero film with my youngest students (7 - 9 year olds) and geotracker would have saved me so much time adding realistic lighting and reflections on some of the characters costumes and props! One hero had a crystal that shoots hot beams of blue energy and I had to basically hand draw/track the reflections onto faces, eyes, clothes and walls...

[@flo.motion]

Definitely worth considering!!

[@hanan6968]

This is the best video I found, very cool and easy to understand, thanks for helping freelancers like me, Geo tracker looks fantastic, as learner and beginner I’d use it to elevate my vfx learning and start creating new projects.

Best Tutorial on KZbin

[@flo.motion]

Really??

[@Pembie_]

You guys just gained a new fan! The geotracker tool is amazing and that free lisence could be really helpful for our school project. Every year, my class competes with other classes on who makes the best short film (max 3 min), but 2 years in a row now we have lost because the other school cheated by paying someone to do most of the editing for them. But i believe that with this tool and our great horror concept, we could win the whole thing. I just don't got the money for it so that's the problem.

[@flo.motion]

Sounds cool!! When does the school project start??

[@Pembie_]

@@flo.motion The project usually starts in December, but we got the whole half of the school year to practise!

[@Climberfx]

I believe the case is to track moving objects independent of the camera track, that do the "camera track" obviously, but this one do to moving parts in this "moving camera" Like people, or things, and track it in 3d space, with position and rotation, so you can apply 3d objects to that surface.

[@frost1tube]

Terrific job covering this. I did the VFX on an indie film where they wanted to replace a bad bald cap with one that looked more like a closely shaved scalp. Incredibly difficult without object tracking. Lots of cheating. Now I have a similar project coming up and would love to use Geo Tracker.

[@flo.motion]

Oh yes, I can see that this is a really hard job to do without object tracking

[@spreadItWide]

lmao! You got me real good with that intro! I'll sub for that one.

[@spreadItWide]

update: I already was. Nice.

Super Video und lustiger Tanz am Schluss 😅 Ein Usecase für den Geotracker: möchte eine Person tracken. In einer leeren Scene die Trackingdaten übernehmen und dann nur Accessoires wie Hut, Stirnband, Ohrringe oder was auch immer anhängen.

[@BrandonYap]

This is so cool! Having something like Geo Tracker would make relighting a subject look super convincing! I'm currently working on a star wars fan film, and during the stunt sequences, we weren't able to have the performers work with prop lightsabers that illuminated their faces. I'm also a huge horror fan, so gross and creepy gore effects seem like they'd be perfect for Geo Tracker.

Relighting is a big thing!! Cool idea and usecase

Need Geotracker for the Adams County Sheriff. They illegally took possession of my propert, with an illegal document, I got a copy from tue court and the swapped the document out illegally to cover it up, then I requested body cam footage that would have surely proven the cover up. After, I received body cam footage that was altered, they swapped out the text on a document I was holding in the video. So I need a GeoTracker license to learn how they did it and prove it so I can flush out these corrupt officials in Colorado.

Great video! I noticed you might be using Adobe Voice Enhancer or DaVinci AI Voice Enhancer to enhance your audio. A tip I find helpful when using these tools is to create two audio tracks: one for the enhanced voice and the other for the original voice. While auto-sync tools can be useful, manual adjustment might be needed for perfect synchronization. Then, balance the volume of both tracks for optimal audio quality. This approach could enhance your videos even more. Keep up the good work!

[@flo.motion]

You got me!! Where do you hear it most? Or which part was the obvious one?? I find it to be pretty good with presenter voices and as soon as you act with your voice it gets into trouble.

[@ig.pandavisuals]

Geo Tracker cool usecase: Track a person or object in a video and use the tracked data to create the illusion of an invisible person or object moving through the scene.

[@flo.motion]

Oh, that's interesting... And how to remove the person? Oh, you could use the 3d data as matte for a cleanplate!!

Geotracker may be the best tool for digital makeup on a PC, an easier than Nuke I guess….digital makeup is something that nobody is talking about that has been around since the 90’s…..I did my first digital makeup film in 1999 in my beloved country Argentina……

Hey! Totally agree... Digital make up is what most of the time goes under the category "invisible VFX". I think it is the same workflow in nuke though!

Do you have any tips on doing this when the person in the frame is for example wearing a hat and looks down, obstructing their entire face, or when they turn left, right, and back. Would I have to cut up the video and do the tracking multiple times for each individual video?
