Yeah,
yeah,
yeah.
Hi and welcome to the track match blend DVD,
My name is Sebastian Kunisch and in this DVD I will try to make camera tracking and
match moving as clear as possible so that you
really understand the principles of tracking and solving.
Speaking of solving camera tracking is really mostly a problem solving process.
Some shots that are really easy to track and solve.
In reality there is always something that just doesn't work out as it should.
So often the process can be tedious and boring but then also very
rewarding if you really can get a good track and camera solution,
that's why there are a few chapters that might be super boring
but still I think that they might be able to give you some clues
how to attack your own shots and how to find your own ways,
how to solve them.
I wanted to make this DVD also usable for beginners and non blender users.
So we will very slowly progress from
single forms of two dimensional tracking techniques,
thereby exploring the interface and workflows and let us movie clip editor
and then move on to camera tracking
and advanced tracking and compositing techniques.
And then finally we will also see how to track moving objects,
both with and without solving the moving camera.
I've recorded this DVD always using
the most recent development versions of blender
so you will find that there are sometimes a few new features being added
Or several bucks are fixed. But by the time that you get this DVD
blender 2.63 will be probably out with all the latest features and bug fixes.
There's still quite a bit of development going on,
mostly by Zogby Caribbean and Cure Miller who are
the main developers of the camera tracking module.
And that camera tracking module and blender is built on Lip envy.
A library for multi view camera solving which has been in development for five years
and then in 2011 it has been integrated into blender
during the google summer of code
and since tracking is essential for a visual effects,
the camera checking model will also be a very important tool for project Mango,
the current open movie project of the blender
foundation and for that there will be a lot
of new functionality being added for example in
New Silver that is more reliable and faster.
And it also allows to use survey data and also solving off different kind of shots
but still the basic knowledge that you will get on this DVD will still be valid.
So with that said
let's get started
