Thank you! Explaining how things work without rushing and yet not taking forever is not easy and you sir nailed it. Now I love the camera tracker.

[@tocojung]

This is the 4th vídeo about camera tracker I watched. And the first that really explained things. Thanks a lot.

[@erikdavis9064]

Another great video Jay. I feel you have really grown over the years into a very fine producer of Davinci Resolve vids. Congrats on an impressive accomplishment.

[@JayLippman]

Thank you so much!!

[@AZAgentBond]

This REALLY helps. I was having touble tracking in a 360 video. My cam is mounted atop a pickup which means a moving object in the shot = not good for tracking. I removed the LatLong to get a flat image, did a poly of everything but the pickup, added back lat long, put in a camera tracker, attached the poly to the tracker... viola! tracked 360 video. -Thanks Jay!

how can we export this 3d cam data as fbx for crossplatform softwares

waiting for answers too!!

@@jorgetisera22 nah, blender's own camera tracker gave me 0.07px and i was shocked and never came back to davinci's tracker.

Best ever explaination of Davinci camera tracker 😱

[@nikscherer]

Great video, your way of explaining things is masterful.

[@TheEmafrost]

Thanks Jay! I'm subscribing right away! This helped me a lot.

[@arkemal]

Very well explained thank you. Now what if I want to export the camera tracking informatin to Unreal Engine, what's the best way to do it?

[@ScottGaetjens]

This was a great video! I believe this gets me started toward my ultimate goal of making a golf shot tracer on footage where the camera zooms in on the shot, but I'm not sure. Could you give your two cents on how you'd accomplish that? Basically, instead of placing 3D text in an environment, you'd be drawing a line.

[@JayLippman]

I don’t know exactly how I would do this, but I would for sure start experimenting with the paint tool.

[@WilliamJusticeMedia]

Hey Jay... great video.. This is one thing that I have never done. Need to get in and play with the camera tracker.

[@JayLippman]

Tha is William! I avoided it for a long time because I wasn't doing any 3D work or VFX. Now that I am its become a staple of my workflow.

[@RyanYoung8]

Can you add multiple instances of 3D text within a instance of the camera tracker?

[@ARNABOSS]

this is awesome for VFX scene composition tricks

[@samk2407]

Could you tell me how to position things that are supposed to be attached to specific objects in the scene like say I wanted to add another car onto the road. I have a difficult time getting it to be in the appropriate place as the camera moves

[@kloakovalimonada]

No matter what or how many track points I select, clicking Set ground plane errors out with "0 locators selected"🤷‍♂️

[@NickAcevedomusic]

Thank you! Subscribed. Great explanation

[@arunr5529]

Dumb question - how are you zooming out in the merge 3d node? Great tutorial!

[@AnishGupta06]

thank you, I've been waiting for this video

[@karolisputnikas7327]

What's the purpose of exporting the ground plane if we use the origin point anyway for attaching objects into our scene?

[@Byron_Brightman]

How would you go about adding things like "shot tracers" from golf videos in this scene (think GOOD GOOD, Rick Shiels etc)? For a scene where the camera doesnt move it's simple enough to just add a background node -> paint node -> merge node, using polyline stroke for the paint node to draw the tracer. But cannot for the life of me figure out what the process is for 3D camera tracker scenarios.

[@JayLippman]

Honestly? I have no idea how I would do that. But is the camera tracker actually needed for that? Unless the camera operator is actually walking, a regular tracker should work.

[@MEAREMLG]

Very helpful for getting started, but I would like more of an in-depth explanation on what each of the parameters does and *why* you're setting them the way you are. (Especially the stuff with tracking point weights and stuff)

[@octal7]

We have been trying to use the camera tracking features but DR keeps crashing out. Any suggestions to help make it work? Running on an i9 CPU with 64 GB of RAM.

[@ayrtonvaquer2021]

How can I do for .PNG archives. I wanna track a logo but is necessary to add something in 3D as I can see the text3D which is reasonable. What else should I add to follow a logo in the cameratracker?

[@ColdfireNightfire]

Awesome Vid as always . I so much enjoy learning from you. Mind me asking were you are located ? Ontario Canada here . Keep up the great work

[@JayLippman]

Thanks so much! I'm in Ohio USA.

[@aaronwallis5545]

Best video that answers my questions about camera tracking, i am sick of tracking in blender. can i export this to an .fbx and the use it insdie blender?

[@sagarchogale2809]

Awesome video!

[@deniamario7743]

Cómo podría hacer eso pero en ves de texto poder imágenes ?

[@Lavaei]

How can I stabilize my footage by camera tracker?

[@MASAo7]

Is the camera tracker really as easy to use as you make it look? I usually have to spend hours (sometimes days and sometimes a complete reshoot with less objects in the scene) to struggle to get a solve of any kind, let alone a good one. It feels like you're using totally different software (I'm on 18.5 or 18.6 Studio). Is there some kind of magic spell or incantation I'm missing out? I filmed a grid on a concrete floor and it couldn't even figure that out yet in this video you got it to work with normal landscape shot from a moving vehicle and it seemed to work without any huge effort.

[@mariahessels3259]

Furst thanks i need it. I Am a beginner . Camera tra in my fusion 18.6 is not availebel in resolve. I have to up graid. What do i wrong?

[@briankilfoyle8749]

Anyone know why the green dots wouldn’t be showing up for me? Preview auto track location is checked. No dots on landscape. Even have darken image checked too.

[@mplvideo]

me too. no preview of track locations show up...

[@PHUKU]

simple and to the point. subbed!

[@ukmonk]

Great video thank you!

[@lonr373]

What if we don’t want to do anything with 3D? What if we just want to apply the camera movement to another video in or to mimic the way the camera shakes and moves around and stuff?

[@JayLippman]

You can use the Planar tracker for copying the movement to another video, and the camera shake effect or a perturb modifier for a handheld effect.

[@jpgrignon1]

It seems to be tracking way to slowly for me I have a 3090 a Ryzen 5900 and it's been 10 minutes it's tracked only the first frame on drone footage from a DJI mini 3

[@orcanimal]

Really detailed. Thanks!

[@JayLippman]

No problem! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@max97livecouk]

Hi I need help... every time i Press Solve when using 3d camera tracker on DR it says "Solved Failed: not enough tracks- mathematically, there must be atleast 8 tracks in common between consecutive frames to reconstruct the camera motion.........etc...." Why wont it let me solve even though there are like 1400 tracking points?

[@spearcy]

Maybe there's a frame in your clip where it couldn't track 8 of the same points from the previous frame even though there was a total of 1400 tracking points found in the entire video.

[@gblatt8472]

Okay, but what if I don't want to apply the motion to a text object, but to a seperate clip?

[@JayLippman]

Same process!

[@belewis]

@@JayLippman You mean you would drag the clip from media pool and connect it to the Merge3D1? Or is another node required?

[@thedispenser8301]

Good work

[@samk2407]

Been dying for this video it's pretty confusing to use even watching basic tutorials

[@CraftyKaname]

Super appreciate the in-depth video! But could you please check your captions before adding them to the video? I assume when creators upload caption files (instead of KZbin's auto-captions) that they will be correct, but it's pretty clear that these were also auto-generated. "at Indoventu Resolve" 😂 The line length is also super super short which makes it a bit hard to follow. thank you so much 🙏 Anyway, I can't believe masking the camera tracker was *literally* as easy as applying a mask to the tracker! Thank you for including that! I was looking for a tutorial for that exact situation and expected it to be much more difficult for some reason. Thanks!

[@JayLippman]

Thanks! And sorry about the subtitles! I usually check them before uploading. Guess I missed that part!

The ground plane clearly didn't work tho. It was not even remotely in line with the ground... Sad, given it was the one thing I was looking this up for.

[@kisumufilms1495]

[@konixtwenty8275]

Everything works except for the last part where you say to add the text to the merge node… when I press on shift space that text is nowhere to be found. I get a completely different menu. Can’t find a way to attach images to the tracked footage either, which is what I really wanted to do. I really hate DaVinci Resolve. It’s a non-intuitive over complicated program. Unfortunately, I’m forced to use it because my cinematographer uses it for color grading.
