[@samferngamerhd4204]

@@nekkowe It's kinda preferable though. Some frames seen to repeat when you import the video file itself instead of an image sequence. It might have changed though, and maybe it happens only if you film with variable frame rate (which is what you get from a phone camera, unfortunately).

[@PriestessOfDada]

I feel like I'm getting closer as I watch more of these. Bear with me, I've only been using blender for a month. Here's what I'm trying to do: 1. Track some very boring face footage of me making very boring facial expressions 2. I want to bind a face rig to that footage, something generic that I can re-use. I have that part covered. 3. Use the tracking on the footage to make shape keys, that I can then re-use on different models sharing similar geometry. I figure I could cut a week of sculpting or posing time off the top with something like that, but I'm missing a couple pieces. 1. Can I bind the empties to an existing rig? 2. How many points of reference do I need? Is there a set minimum number that makes sense? I can make a pretty elaborate face rig, I'm just not sure it's all necessary 3. Can I bind the same empties to multiple heads at the same time?

[@nikkoa.3639]

Now I wonder what these would look like in filmic

[@Photodeus]

This method definitely needs som keyboard macros or a script that can match empties to the closest vertex. Shouldn't be *that* difficult to make one for loop that iterates the items in the scene and parents them correctly.... hmmm

[@Sam-dt9wr]

I Dont understand what he says or does but ı enjoy it

[@pROaBDUR]

you could have saved the trouble of adding vertices to every single empty and then hooking it by just using the '3d markers to mesh' option under tracking...

[@lithium534]

The bonus was the best. I just wish I could do that in real life.....

[@kolupsy]

i know that you know how to set up a default scene in blender where you wont have to change Filmic to standard every time

[@kevinhays6191]

What exactly are you using to draw the trackers on your face? I tried using a dry- erase marker which wasn't great, and I'm reluctant to try sharpie in case I make a mistake. Also, are there any best-practices for where to place the trackers? I tried researching this myself but didn't find any good resources (maybe I'm just using the wrong keywords).

[@Centinily]

Use eye-liner. Simple to wash off. (might get some weird looks from your parents though)
